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, constantly pondering if there was any spark between them.


To say she liked him felt too premature; after all, she had just broken up with Guo Heming, wondering if her impulse towards another man was merely to forget her last relationship. Yet, to say she didn't like him, she found herself really looking forward to spending time with him.


Until she lay in bed, that's when Chen Ningxi saw a WeChat message from Cheng Qiaobei.


His response left Chen Ningxi uncertain about what to reply next, as continuing the conversation might imply her interest, but Cheng Qiaobei had already made it clear they were just friends, so she chose not to reply.


Any form of initiative in contact implies a desire for a relationship.


She slept soundly that night, waking to morning light that filled the room with warmth, making it very cozy.
