Revenge, satisfying face-slapping, devoted husband, age gap
The cool, refined female singer × the steady king of the business world
Everyone said that Zhao Yangui, the most eligible bachelor in Rongcheng, was a tough nut to crack. He was over thirty and still single, and no matter how beautiful or alluring a woman was, none could win him over.
But Liang Ruo didn't care. Her sister had died a brutal death and been saddled with a vile reputation. Liang Ruo was determined to make every person, directly or indirectly, responsible pay for what they had done.
Didn't they love sucking up to the powerful? Then she'd take the greatest power in Rongcheng for herself.
She assumed Zhao Yangui would never like a scheming woman like her, but that didn't matter. All she needed was to become Mrs. Zhao.
At a café, Liang Ruo took the initiative and handed him an agreement.
The mature, elegant man glanced at her with an amused smile and asked, “What does the child say?”
The little boy suddenly jumped out from behind her, threw himself into the man's arms, and called out happily, “Daddy!”
Liang Ruo froze. Meeting the man's all-knowing gaze, she finally understood: she thought she was the hunter, but she had been in Zhao Yangui's grasp all along.
Mature love is give and take, push and pull, a game of wits.
The heroine is clear-headed and focused on revenge. She's no naive, helpless sweetheart.
The hero is a cunning wolf pretending to be a gentle dog, patiently waiting for the heroine to step into his territory.
