[A clear-headed, quick-witted ordinary girl vs. a domineering CEO deeply in love]
Happy ending, mutually faithful, with both sweetness and angst, multiple couples, ensemble cast, not a wish-fulfillment story. The title, characters, and plot will point you in the right direction!
A tragic car accident followed an attempted arrest and escape. To restore its public image, the Gu family had no choice but to take Xu Wenrou, the orphan left behind by those involved, into their home as an adopted daughter. They treated her with every courtesy, putting on a show for outsiders.
What the Gu family wanted most was a good reputation. Xu Wenrou just wanted to stay alive!
For years, she wore the crown of the Gu family's Second Miss, yet every day felt as if blades and axes were closing in, and her life was in danger.
All she wanted was peace and safety, so she had no choice but to find someone to rely on and play the obedient, docile girl.
But she took the act too far, and found herself caught up in it. Even she could no longer tell whether she loved him or not...
-
From the first moment Gu Qing'an saw Xu Wenrou, he secretly vowed to become the one she could rely on.
A trap set by someone else made Gu Qing'an believe she was willing to come to him.
From then on, he quietly smoothed every rough patch in her life.
Ignoring the gossip, he publicly gave her the status of his fiancée.
He never expected that, in the end, he would hear her scream, “I want you dead!”

Ten years ago, I promised to treat you with tenderness. Thankfully, you shared that wish, and kept me safe.
Ten years later, neither of us owes the other anything. From now on, we go our separate ways. Let this day be the dividing line, and this book our farewell.
