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's eyes darted around, and before she could speak, Cheng Qiaobei leaned in behind her back, his husky voice whispering in her ear, "If you can't make one up, I'll help you."


Chen Ningxi stifled a laugh and turned around, her eyes and brows full of mirth. "This is a gift from a high school alum."


"High school alum?" Not even a classmate, just an alum gifting a doll for no reason—there's got to be a story behind that.


"Ah, a high school alum," Chen Ningxi replied, trying to sound righteous, as she watched Cheng Qiaobei's expression. "In the first year of high school during the sports meet, I was a volunteer responsible for helping the teachers with the awards. An alum took first place in the 4x200-meter relay, took his certificate, and left the doll behind, saying it was for me."


Cheng Qiaobei narrowed his eyes, "This kind-hearted classmate was a boy, wasn't he?"


Chen Ningxi replied, "Yes. Boys definitely don't like dolls, so it was only natural to give it to me."
