In her previous life, after Zhuang Zhuang returned to her birth family, she gave way at every turn, until she finally retreated into the abyss of death.
Reborn, she agreed to the marriage arranged by her elders so she could take revenge.
To make her fiancé, Pei Yan, an ally in the Ning family, she pretended to be gentle and sweet, hiding her true spoiled, demanding nature. She had heard that Pei Yan’s ex-girlfriend was once the famously gentle campus beauty of Jianglin University.
But to her surprise, she couldn’t keep up the act even through their first meeting.
At first, Pei Yan kept his distance, and she kept hers.
Later: “You’re my fiancée. Helping you is my responsibility.”
In the end: “Because I love you, I’m willing to be the stepping stone that helps you test the waters.”
