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

After Cheng Qiaobei started living at the high school dorm, his interactions with Ding Yuan became very rare. Moreover, as Cheng Qiaobei grew up, he became increasingly similar to Cheng Xiangheng in the past. Seeing his face would remind Ding Yuan of the once dashing Cheng Xiangheng. This made Ding Yuan, who had never overcome her inner hurdle, intentionally distance herself from him further.  


Cheng Qiaobei didn't understand why she treated him like this. During an argument, Ding Yuan accidentally let it slip, scolding him for being just like Cheng Xiangheng in the past. Seeing his face would remind her of the man who led her to a point of no return, burdened with infamy.  


Since then, Cheng Qiaobei planned to live in the dorms, and their meetings became infrequent. For college, he directly attended a prestigious university abroad. During the years overseas, Cheng Qiaobei only sent her a message on New Year's and her birthday.
