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

Cheng Qiaobei's workload didn't decrease after returning to Danjiang; in fact, it was hard to catch a glimpse of him all day. Cheng Xiangheng piled him with work, sometimes he wouldn't make it home until after midnight. Chen Ningxi also had a lot on her plate at her job, so they often found themselves in a situation where she would finish work just as he was staying late for overtime. By the time Cheng Qiaobei made it back, Chen Ningxi would be asleep; not wanting to disturb her, he'd rest in the spare bedroom.


The next day, as Chen Ningxi rushed off early to the construction site to inspect the progress, Cheng Qiaobei woke to find himself alone at home.


Forget intimacy, they could hardly exchange a few words.


Indeed, under the same roof but living as if worlds apart.
