A Rose with Fallen Thorns

[Two strong leads, secret identities, wealthy families, mutual healing, both devoted, marriage before love, a little angst, mostly sweet romance throughout] The first time they met, Yun Ning mistook him for a gigolo. “Well, aren’t you a handsome little thing? Since when did gigolos get so good-looking?” Jiang Li shoved her away at once. When Jiang Li was drugged, he thought Yun Ning had done it. He later wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine, but seeing her student-like face, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. Later, a story from the past brought Yun Ning and Jiang Li together. Yun Ning felt for him. He saved her and nearly died on the operating table. She went to the Temple of Mercy to pray for his life, and eventually married him. But she never expected that Jiang Li had planned it all. Yun Ning gave a cold laugh, her eyes carrying a hint of disdain and a whole lot of defiance. “You say I lied to you, but what about you? Haven’t you lied to me too?” Both the heroine and hero have secret identities, and they expose each other’s secrets. Their bickering turns into love.
