In her previous life, Su Yuxi was Han Yuhao's devoted simp. She chased after him, coaxed him, and supported him, while he spent her money and secretly carried on with her best friend. Later, for the sake of becoming head of the Qin family, he deceived and used her.
In the end, Han Yuhao got his wish and became head of the Qin family, but to cover up his own shameful past, he was willing to take her life.
Yuan Jin was the best candidate to become the Qin family's next head. He was obsessive and fiercely possessive. Against her wishes, he kept her by his side. She resented him, hated him, and even went so far as to destroy him for the sake of a scumbag. Yet after she died, he was the one who collected her body.
After being reborn, Su Yuxi repaid every grudge and every kindness.
She would get back every last cent she had spent on the scumbag. When the scumbag and his mistress worked hand in glove, she cleverly drove a wedge between them until they became sworn enemies. When the scumbag coveted the position of head of the Qin family, she made sure he would never get the chance to lay a finger on it...
As for Yuan Jin, she soothed him with kind words and gentle coaxing.
But the more she coaxed him, the more things seemed to go awry. The atmosphere grew increasingly flirtatious, until she ended up coaxing herself right into the relationship. Their pretend romance became real.
Little scene:
"Baby, don't be mad. Getting angry gives you wrinkles and makes you look old."
"Are you saying I'm old?"
"No, I'm just worried you'll get old faster than me. When we're old, you won't be able to join me for square dancing, so I'll have to let you watch me dance with some other old guy."
"You wouldn't dare. Even if I'm in a wheelchair, you're only allowed to dance with me."
"All right, I'll only dance with you. Please don't be mad, okay?"
"What did you call me?"
"Baby! It's a special pet name for couples."
"So childish... Say it again."
"Baby! Baby! Baby!"
Yuan Jin turned his head away, the corners of his mouth stretching all the way to his ears.
