Marriage first. Then, love. Yun Shu is a wedding planner, who was busy planning others' weddings while having a nonexistent romantic life. Meanwhile, her grandmother was urging her to be in a relationship and get married fast. “Grandma, choosing a boyfriend is not as easy as choosing a cabbage.” This was how Yun Shu had answered when her grandma urged her to find a boyfriend again. Who would have thought that her grandmother would walk over to the handsome man at the vegetable aisle and introduce her as her granddaughter and that, she was looking for a boyfriend? Just like Yun Shu, Qi Zheng’s family was also urging him to get married fast. The next time he see her again, it was at a blind dating event. Qi Zheng had mistakenly thought that Yun Shu was a participant in this event as well. He walked over and directly asked, “Do you want to come with me and get a marriage certificate? Your grandmother would stop urging you to get a boyfriend, and I can stop my family from doing the same.” Yun Shu looked at the agreement in front of her and decided to sign it. The man looked at her signature and smiled.
