Synopsis

[Clear-eyed antiques restorer x cultured scoundrel of a Beijing power player, second chance romance, love that grows over time]

The Second Master of the Lu family was handsome, refined, and impeccably mannered. But everyone knew he was cold-hearted and ruthless, someone no one dared offend.

Yet he spent a lifetime’s worth of patience on one not particularly obedient “caged songbird.”

Then one day,

The cage door opened, and the pampered beauty left for good, with no hesitation and not a trace of attachment.

Lu Huaiqian panicked.

They met again at a private banquet.

In a red dress, Qin Zhi moved with graceful poise. As the star pupil of a master restorer of national treasures, she had long since made a name for herself.

When someone asked her what she looked for in a husband, Qin Zhi glanced at the man nearby who had been watching her the whole time and said deliberately, “I can’t stand men with bad tempers, cold faces, and no patience, who have too much energy at night and can only be placated with money.”

Everyone fell silent, their eyes turning in unison to Lu Huaiqian. That was a little too specific, wasn’t it?

Lu Huaiqian reined in his temper and looked at Qin Zhi, who had been “letting loose” for quite some time. He asked gently, “Zhi-Zhi, had enough fun?”

Qin Zhi’s expression was cool, her tone unyielding. “The Lu family is already making wedding arrangements. Why are you still looking for me, Mr. Lu?”

Lu Huaiqian wrapped an arm tightly around her slender waist. “I’m taking my wife home.”
