His One and Only: Gu's Clever, Cherished Darling

When she wakes, Jian Yue finds that her soul has transmigrated into Bai Xian’er. While others transmigrate into lives of luxury, she’s stuck in a poor and wretched family.

Her father drinks, gambles, and spends recklessly until he can no longer repay his debts.

Bai Xian’er has barely woken up when the creditors come to collect. They beat her unconscious and sell her to a dance hall.

In this war-torn era, she has no one to rely on and must do whatever it takes to survive. Her first potential client is Gu Zemin. A powerful warlord, a beautiful young businesswoman, a spirited female reporter, a devious young marshal, and an unremarkable steward: behind them all lies a struggle between competing forces.

As the truth gradually comes to light, this seemingly perfect romance nearly ends in disaster.

As an independent woman of the twenty-first century, how could she willingly become a man’s pawn?

When love is no longer pure, tainted by conspiracy and calculation, can they still love each other?

No matter who we are, how will this ill-fated romance ultimately end?

National and family grievances, tangled debts and affections: who is right, who is wrong, and what choice should be made?
