Bittersweet Love

Lu Xiaofan marries into the influential Bei family in the capital in place of his older brother. On their wedding night, his new wife, Bei Lüxin, shuts him out, leaving Bei Luqing as the only person willing to offer him a helping hand.

Lu Xiaofan works tirelessly to become part of Bei Luqing's world. He studies English, keeps up with current affairs, and prepares homemade soup every day, hoping that one day he will be able to catch up to the man he admires.

Bei Luqing publicly stands up for Lu Xiaofan, teaching the classmates who bullied him a harsh lesson and making it clear to everyone that Lu Xiaofan is under his protection.
