A Misfired Flirt! A Forceful Kiss! The Abstinent Mogul Is Swept Away

[From the heroine’s perspective: Has my aloof uncle-in-law been secretly in love with me since high school?] [From the hero’s perspective: How did the girl I thought of as a little sister become my nephew’s fiancée, and then my girlfriend?] The good news: Pei Sulin is a true heiress of the Beijing social circle, and an only child from a well-to-do Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai family. Her parents dote on her. The bad news: Her family is nearly bankrupt, and even while studying in Switzerland, she can only afford Swiss rolls. The even worse news: She has to marry a smug playboy. But his uncle, Shen Zhixiao, cuts in. “How much would it take for you to get engaged to me? I’ll pay whatever it is.” The moment she sees him in person, Pei Sulin, a hopeless admirer of handsome faces, blurts out that she wants to marry him. The playboy, whose eyes have also been dazzled by her beauty, regrets everything. “Miss Pei, you’re gorgeous. Twenty-two is the perfect age to get married. Don’t be my aunt by marriage. Be my wife instead.” A gloomy, obsessive childhood friend makes an outrageous confession. “I may be with her, but can’t you tell I’ve always liked you? Give me another chance. I’ll break up with her right now.” Her obsessive, controlling study-abroad companion and first-love crush issues a domineering warning. “Pei Sulin, if you dare marry him, I’ll drag you into a double suicide.” Shen Zhixiao is the most eligible bachelor in Beijing’s uncle circle. He’s twenty-seven, but has seniority to spare: a prime marriage prospect who has turned down rich heiresses time and again. That is, until one day, a tipsy, confused girl kisses him by force. Only after kissing him does he learn that she’s Pei Sulin! The girl he watched grow up, the little sister who came out of nowhere! He kissed her, and even agreed to her request to kiss him again!
