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

The car stopped at the Golden Goblet, and Lin Hanrui lifted the gift from the trunk.  


Aside from the usual gifts, Chen Ningxi pointed at one of the long, narrow boxes and asked,  


Lin Hanrui said, "Trekking poles. Aren't Liang Lei's parents fond of traveling? This model is carbon fiber super-light foldable. They each get a pair, perfect for pictures, isn't that cool?"  


Chen Ningxi gave a forced smile, "...Heh heh."  


Who gives trekking poles when meeting the girlfriend's parents for the first time—!  


Lin Hanrui proudly said, "Outdoor headlamps. They often go out, so they'll appreciate it. These headlamps cost nearly a grand."  


Chen Ningxi held back these unconventional gifts, "Lin Hanrui, let's discuss something."  


Chen Ningxi said, "Save the trekking poles and headlamps for when you know them better. Just bring cigarettes, liquor, and supplements today."
