The Morandi color palette refers to colors with low saturation and a muted, smoky feel.
Chen Ningxi, who usually seems untouched by worldly concerns, finds herself unexpectedly moved upon meeting Cheng Qiaobei, who embodies the Morandi hues.
At their first meeting, Cheng Qiaobei is in a subordinate position, striving to meet the demands of Chen Ningxi’s client role.
Three days later, they meet again when Cheng Qiaobei is inspecting a hotel and Chen Ningxi, a VIP client, calls to make a complaint that goes directly to his office.
Two weeks later, a newly built chain hotel urgently requires electric equipment installation approval, and the responsible person is Chen Ningxi.
Cheng Qiaobei visits her for negotiations but gets caught in the middle of Chen Ningxi’s blind date, and weighing his options, he lets himself be used as a temporary shield to deflect the matchmaker.
With a glance, they fulfill each other's needs—he gets the approval, and she avoids matchmaking.
In the charade of their fake relationship, they end up truly connecting. He gets drunk, she listens earnestly; he's busy, she remains focused on her work.
He does not intrude on her, and she does not disturb him. Chen Ningxi realizes she might have found someone easy to get along with and never tires of.
Regarding love, Chen Ningxi has the ability to both love deeply and restrain herself. In terms of career, Cheng Qiaobei has the capability to conjure miracles and rise again from setbacks.
As for them, they are a couple wandering within the hues of the Morandi palette.

Fated Love With the Billionaire

Chen Ningxi glanced at Cheng Qiaobei from the corner of her eye, seeing him serving himself food, then turned away to speak to the person on the phone, "Mom, I'm eating out, I'll call you when I get home after dinner."  


Ye Yujun was nagging on the other end, "Eating out again, it's unsanitary out there, if you don't feel like cooking, just come home to eat."  


Chen Ningxi lied, "I'm with colleagues. Alright, talk later."  


As soon as she put down the phone, Cheng Qiaobei mimicked her tone sarcastically, "I'm dining with colleagues, haha."  


"..." She knew he couldn't resist saying something.  


Chen Ningxi said, "When your mom nags you, haven't you ever told a little white lie?"  


Seeing her so confident, Cheng Qiaobei couldn't be bothered to argue, "Yeah, yeah, everything you say is right."  


Observing his unwilling attitude, she asked Cheng Qiaobei back, "Can you guarantee you've never lied?"
