1 Year of Beginning
“Give me one year of your life and I’ll give you the money you need.” Feng Mian is a normal and down to earth modern woman. She just wanted an ordinary life, an ordinary job and find an ordinary man to marry in the future. (Yes, all should be ordinary). But when family matters took a turn for the worst, she faced a huge dilemma called shortage of money. Suddenly, a contract came due to a series of coincidences. Zhang Liang was fed up with his father's (yes, father not mother) matchmaking schemes for him. He wanted to have a peaceful year because this was his chance to expand his business overseas, yet his father didn’t seem to get the message. When an ordinary fresh graduate employee in his company accidentally saw a scene, he decided to take the chance. “Since she has a normal background with nothing remarkable, nothing should go wrong, right?” Browsing through the contract, Feng Mian gritted her teeth. 'Fine. It was just one year of my life anyway. I wouldn't lose a lot.' But was it true? Or would that one year turn out to be a ride full of ups and down for both of them? ... Story set in modern era in fictional country. This story is purely fiction, any similarities with real life's event is purely coincidence.

Teasing One Another
The restaurant was big. Even though it was not the same restaurant as the one Feng Mian visited back then, the decoration was similar. It just made her remember the time when she had to meet with Zhang Yi and Zhang Ai. They were nothing more than strangers back then.
"Whoa! This time, I'll order a lot of cupcakes!" Zhang Ai said loudly as she entered the room.
Feng Mian tilted her head. "Is the cupcake that good?"
"Of course! This restaurant is known to have the best cupcake. I have been asking Da Jie to replicate it, but she said that she didn't have time. As for Xue Ge, he would only make it if it's Da Jie who asked."
Recalling her attempt to have Zhang Xue replicated the cupcake back then, Zhang Ai's mood soured. Her brothers often didn't want to listen to her request, telling her that she ate too much sweets. Of course, in her opinion, it was just a few cupcakes. Not too many.
Feng Mian blinked her eyes. "How many did you eat last time?"
