[Mutual salvation + both leads’ first love, one-on-one + long-planned romance]
[Kind, strong, bold-in-love princess × sharp-tongued, proud business tycoon who built his own empire]
Shen Huaiyu grew up surrounded by her parents’ and older brother’s love, living a carefree, innocent, and romantic life.
Then, on her sixteenth birthday, Shen Huaiyu suddenly learned that she was not her parents’ biological daughter. The Shen family’s real heiress, Shen Xingyan, was found and brought home, and everything seemed to change.
Her parents gave all their affection to Shen Xingyan, and her brother was no longer hers alone. Even Zhou Yueze, the man she had loved for years and was about to get engaged to, eventually married Shen Xingyan instead.
After working for a few years, Shen Huaiyu bought a place of her own at Yuejing Lake and rarely returned to live at the Shen family home.
Oddly enough, despite living at Yuejing Lake for so long, she had never once run into the neighbor across the hall. Then, on New Year’s Day, someone rang her doorbell. When Shen Huaiyu opened the door, she saw a somewhat familiar face.

Shen Huaiyu never expected to get involved with Li Lingchuan, who had been known as the “school bully” back in high school. To make matters worse, he was a thorn in the side of both her older brother, Shen Xingzhou, and her ex-boyfriend, Zhou Yueze, so she had always kept her distance from him, afraid of him.
Until one day, he pinned her against a tree. The lights around them were dim, and Li Lingchuan toyed with a lighter, its flame flickering in and out. Bracing one hand against the trunk, he smiled and asked, “Want to date?”
