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 left Cheng Qiaobei's house, wondering all the way whether there was a spark between them. 


To say she liked him seemed too fast, as she had just broken up with Guo Heming, and she doubted whether she was drawn to another guy just to forget her past relationship. Yet, to say she didn't like him didn't fit either, because she was looking forward to spending time with him. 


It wasn't until she lay in bed that Chen Ningxi saw the WeChat message from Cheng Qiaobei. 


His "Good" left Chen Ningxi unsure of how to respond further. If she started another topic, it would seem like she had an interest in him, but Cheng Qiaobei had already stated they were just friends, so she chose not to reply. 


Any form of initiating contact meant wanting to develop a relationship.
