Synopsis

[Love at first sight + two powerful families + evenly matched + mutual devotion]

[Strong, independent violinist × fake gentleman, real scumbag surgeon]

[25 years old, 170 cm × 28 years old, 190 cm]

Rumor has it in Shanghai’s social circles that Wen Yu is pure and aloof. With his gold-rimmed glasses, he looks refined and proper. Only Ming Chan knows that his gentlemanly manner is just a disguise.

“You’re not refined at all!”

“Baby, that’s unfair. I never said I was refined.”

“Everyone in Shanghai says you are!”

“Do you like me refined, baby? Should I pretend to be?”

Ming Chan: “...”

The first time Wen Yu saw Ming Chan, she was wearing a red gown, shining brilliantly onstage.

His cold, still heart began to pound with heat. He admitted that love at first sight, which he’d always thought was tacky, now made him feel as if he were falling into an abyss.

He never went to parties, but for Ming Chan’s sake, he made an exception and joined his friends for a get-together.

His gaze caught sight of Ming Chan, and Wen Yu began his plan to “lure” her in.

He would gently entice Princess Ming, leading her step by step into the gentlemanly trap he had laid.

She was like a ray of light, dazzling and radiant.

He was willing to lose himself in her!

My feelings for you have always been there to see.

To you,

I am yours.

To me,

I used to be a wild bird, but the moment I saw you, I folded my wings and gladly settled on the branch outside your window.

From then on, every morning and night, year after year.

Everywhere I look, I see you. Every bit of my happiness is for you.

I've read up to chapter 102. The male lead is initially refined and restrained, but he's actually quite cunning and constantly setting traps for the female lead. She's initially attracted to his gentle exterior, but only discovers his cunning after they get together. However, she only verbally expresses it a few times and actually indulges him the whole time.

It's so good! The male lead can't forget her after just one meeting, and they dream of each other every night 🥰 He pretends to be refined and lures the little princess into his trap, but he's already deeply in love himself. He's so devoted, gentle, and doting. Highly recommended! 💕

What a sweet little story! The male lead always calls her "princess" and spoils her so much. Everyone finds their happiness, except for Rui Rui, who hasn't met someone who only has eyes for her. I wonder if the author will write a new book.

June 8, 2025 Goodbye, Mingchan and Wenyu! Liking is like meeting a worthy opponent in a game of chess; loving is about willingly admitting defeat. A knight can protect a princess, and he can also bring her happiness. The knight, clad in armor and riding his loyal steed, will traverse countless hardships to protect his princess; his sword will never be drawn against her.

Overall, it was pretty good; the beginning was really, really good. There was even a connection to another book while I was reading (I'd read that one, haha). But after the "premarital pregnancy" part started, I skipped around.
