I am absolutely addicted to Chinese dramas that I have been watching episodes without subtitles,  thus I have not fully understood what was going on.

Would that stop me?  Well, the drama and the cast had to be pretty interesting for me to continue watching/

This drama seems a good watch.  Apparently, it is about a president of a company who suffers from a severe form of OCD, which unfortunately affected the way he does not interact with the female of the species.

An incident when he was 18 caused this condition, but despite this, he sounded rather optimistic and on a mission to find his princess.

And he found her… and their adventure begins…

Episode 1 & 2

The university is giving out scholarships sponsored by a chain of hotels.  The CEO of the hotel is Wei Xing and one of the recipients of the scholarship is a young lady, Zhou Shi, who was in the Department of Arts.

Zhou Shi was absolutely surprised about the scholarship and more so when she saw the CEO.

She knew him…

A few months ago, she became an intern at one of his hotels.  At that time she has a crush on one of her seniors and was planning to confess to him on Chinese Valentine’s day.

She organised a room for him and put a confession letter as well as a ring under his pillow.

Unfortunately for her, the CEO came to the hotel and took the hotel room she already arranged for her would be boyfriend to stay in.

The CEO has a severe case of OCD and ensured the hotel room is perfectly clean, thus, he found her letter and other toiletries she bought for the ‘boyfriend’.  He threw them all away.

Becasue Zhou Shi was in charge of cleaning the room, she became the butler of the CEO.

The CEO was staying at the hotel with his girlfriend.  A girl he met a month ago when he was so depressed for not being able to keep a girlfriend. He has developed a severe case of allergic reaction when he touches a woman so he did not have a choice but to break up with the girl.

He was at the end of his tether and drunk.  He was about to jump off a bridge when a girl pulled him back up.  He fell on her on the ground and felt safe and realised not being allergic.

He was woken up by a beautiful girl, thinking that she was his rescuer.  He asked her immediately to be his girlfriend.

Now he brought her to the hotel and realised that she gives him hives.  She was not the one but Zhou Shi might be.

Episode 30 – The Finale

Wei Xing went back to the US to come to terms with his father’s death and to manage the business.

Unfortunately, this was not a happy time also for Zhou Shi because she could not contact him and sadder still because all her friends had paired off and she was feeling left out.

But she learned from Zhuang Shuai that he applied for a place abroad under her name and she was accepted under full scholarship.

Anyway, she had not seen Wei Xing for six months but out of the blue, he sent her a plane ticket to find him in the US.

She went and found where he lived but she started to play hard to get.  Instead of meeting him, she played hide and seek and started stalking him instead.  She was waiting for him to come to find her.

Unfortunately, Wei Xing was called back to China because Yun Ma Studio was sold to Miss Xue.  Yun Ma studio is important to Wei Xing because his father worked hard for it.

Wei Xing gave the studio to He Wei but it ended up with Miss Xue.

Anyway, Wei Xing made a generous offer to Miss Xue but she turned him down.

Meanwhile, Ning Fei said he refused to have anything to do with Snow Art, which Yun Ma Studio had been renamed with.

Zhou Shi told him that might not be possible because he was contracted with Yun Ma which is now owned by Snow Art.

Ning Fei said that his contract had lapsed.

So Zhou Shi as Ning Fei’s new agent went to meet Miss Xue.

It turned out that Miss Xue was the long-lost brother (she was a tomboy then😭🤣) of Ning Fei and Miss Xue told him that she acquired Yun Ma studio because of him.

Ning Fei however had a very strong sense of loyalty to the Weis so he told his sister/Miss Xue that he does not want to work with Snow Art.

It was then that Zhou Shi showed her agent contract that any artwork sale or procurement of Ning Fei had to go through her. She also said that without Ning Fei, Snow Art was nothing.

Defeated, Miss Xue sold back the Snow Art to Wei Xing with a very, very handsome price that Wei Xing said that she was greedy.

He asked Miss Xue why she changed her mind, all she said was to ask his girlfriend.

He went looking for her and found her almost drowning again in the swimming pool.  It turned out that he saved her ten years ago.

They were both full of wonders but Zhou Shi.

They became officially in a relationship but alas, it would be LDR as she was leaving for the US for her scholarship.

He promised to wait for her.

The End
