[Secret Identity] [Older Man/Younger Woman] [Wealthy Family] [Everyone's Darling] [Satisfying Payback] [Power Couple] [Villainess] [Revenge] [Winning Her Back]
Clever, beautiful heiress VS the young master of a fallen family, seeking revenge
(The male lead is gloomy and unhinged. Proceed at your own risk.)
Lin Qingyun was brought back to the Jian family when Jian Yue was seventeen.
Everyone speculated about why Lin Qingyun had been brought back.
They all said that life had just gotten harder for the Jian family's young lady, because now there was someone else competing for the inheritance.
Jian Yue thought so too, and kept her guard up around him.
Until one day, she realized that he had no one to rely on here but her, and perhaps they were both pitiful pawns.
Their relationship was like an exchange of favors.
Somewhere amid their playacting, Lin Qingyun developed feelings for Jian Yue.
Jian Yue noticed his feelings early on. She used them to climb to power, then abandoned Lin Qingyun completely.
Only then did Lin Qingyun finally understand. He realized that laying all his cards on the table would only get him abandoned by her. He had to make himself more valuable if he wanted even a scrap of her attention.
Now, all he wants is for Jian Yue's attention to be fixed on him. He will never let anyone else take her attention away again.
Super good-looking, the male protagonist is scheming, and the female protagonist has a personality that I particularly like
