Synopsis

[One heroine + wealthy family + pure love + older woman/younger man romance + male protagonist's perspective + love at first sight + gentle older sister]

When Sheng Shi arrived in this world, he discovered that he had excellent parents and a wealthy family. Wasn't this setup straight out of a domineering CEO romance? Without those three parts wicked charm, three parts mocking sneer, and four parts careless indifference, he was bound to be a cannon-fodder supporting male character. To avoid that fate, he studied hard from a young age and did his best not to become cannon fodder.

It wasn't until he met Xia Wanzhu that he realized he was actually the male lead in a sweet romance.

But the plot was still all wrong: a CEO with delusions of grandeur and a romance-addled brain, rejected by both his unattainable first love and her replacement; a CEO's fiancée who was the family heir and cared only about her career; a clueless, incompetent CEO's kept woman who became a workplace ace.

Facing all this, Sheng Shi slowly typed out a question mark.
