After Flirting with Him, the Drama Queen Gets Burned!

[Older man + marriage first, love later + long-laid plans]

Fu Qingzhi was raised like a treasured darling, doted on by everyone. Her beauty was captivating without being flashy, and her temperament was spoiled, carefree, and prone to mischief. People in her circle called her the most pampered begonia. Everyone said she was lucky: not only did she come from a wealthy family, she was also engaged to the Cheng family, the most prestigious clan around. Her fiancé was her childhood sweetheart, whom she had grown up with. Then everything changed overnight. Her beloved father passed away, and his will revealed that she wouldn’t inherit a single bit of the Fu family’s vast fortune. That was when people remembered she had two older half-siblings standing in her way. No wonder none of the family fortune had gone to her. As everyone speculated about whether she could hold on to her engagement with the Cheng family, news spread online that her childhood sweetheart and fiancé, Cheng Zeyu, had dinner with a newly popular young actress. Before anyone could even laugh at Fu Qingzhi, news broke that she was marrying into the Cheng family. But she wasn’t marrying her childhood sweetheart, Cheng Zeyu. She was marrying his older brother, Cheng Yujing. Cheng Yujing was the eldest young master of a top-tier family, famous for his discipline and impeccable manners. Cool and distant, he was nothing like his younger brother, who had been doted on all his life. He was a true, untouchable genius: decisive and ruthless in the military, shrewd and calculating in business, and always at the top of his field. Although their families were close, he had never been close to the girl eight years his junior, and had never imagined he might become involved with his “future sister-in-law.” Yet when his family asked whether he was willing to marry her, he agreed almost without a moment’s thought.
