Synopsis

[Cool, Self-Controlled Princeling × Cunning, Alluring Beauty]

[Intense Push and Pull + Sizzling Flirtation and Sweet Romance + Long-Running Scheme + Fake and Real Heiresses + Scumbag-Bashing and Face-Slapping + Both Pure and Faithful]

Xiao Yuxiao has long held the top spot on the “Must-Try in the Capital” list.

He is the unattainable object of desire for the capital’s wealthy socialites.

Yet Zhao Lizhi, a thorny rose, has taken root on his high peak.

He is restrained and courteous, but every rule he breaks is for her.

At a gala.

She pretends to be drunk and stumbles into his arms, her fingertip tracing his Adam’s apple.

He grips her wrist. “Miss Zhao, your tricks for seducing people are clumsy.”

She rises on tiptoe and leans close to his ear. “Mr. Xiao, your heartbeat is much more honest than your mouth!”

On a rainy night.

She chases after his car through the rain.

He rolls down the window and tosses her his suit jacket. “You can have the interview, but don’t expect anything else.”

Inside the Koenigsegg.

She is soaked through, her alluring figure faintly visible beneath her clothes. “Are you taking pity on me?”

He grips the steering wheel tightly, yet can’t help looking at her. “I never pity liars, especially a lousy actress like you…”

In the study, late at night.

She steps barefoot onto the carpet.

He pulls her onto his lap. “Zhao Lizhi, you’ve crossed the line.”

She lightly taps his chest with a fingertip. “You’re the one who crossed it.”

“You’re holding me too tight~”

His voice turns hoarse. “Move again, and you’ll face the consequences.”

In a cabin in the snowy mountains.

He bites her earlobe. “Run. For a hundred miles in every direction, there’s nothing but wolves and me.”

She gasps. “What’s the difference between you and a wolf?”

“The first time I saw you, two words came to mind: you’re going to be the death of me!”, Xiao Yuxiao
