Huang Xiaolong's bold declaration that Song Yuru will be his first wife, made moments after meeting her on a train, draws dismissive scoffs from onlookers and indignation from Song Yuru herself. Branded a fraud by skeptics despite his mountain-born exterior and shabby wardrobe, this unlikely protagonist conceals hidden talents and genuine appeal. With three ambitious goals—building substantial wealth, winning romantic partnerships (one or many), and achieving a university degree—Huang Xiaolong ventures into Coast City ready to defy expectations. His pursuit of success blends urban romance with psychological depth, challenging assumptions at every turn.
