[One-on-one romance, both leads are devoted to each other]
[Cold, domineering CEO vs. ambitious heiress]
What!? Lin Xiaoman discovers that her parents are planning to send her into an arranged marriage!
It's the 21st century. How can this still be happening? Determined to stand on her own two feet, she promptly leaves home to make her own way in the world.
"Screeech!" Metal shrieks as Lin Xiaoman, riding an electric scooter to deliver a cake, fails to swerve in time and scrapes the black Maybach in front of her.
A man suddenly appears before her, so stunningly handsome, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs, that Lin Xiaoman is left staring.
Gu Nanxing steps out of the car with a dark expression. Looking at the bewildered young woman before him, he feels nothing but impatience and annoyance. He hates having his plans derailed by trivial things.
He says impatiently, "You can go."
Lin Xiaoman insists on paying for the damage. "I'm sorry. I'll give you 500 yuan. Please add me on WeChat."
"Heh." Gu Nanxing is so furious he laughs. Is this woman here just to cause trouble? His Maybach is worth only that much?
"Miss, the repair bill is 18,000 yuan," a staff member says kindly, handing her the estimate.
Lin Xiaoman nearly blacks out. She should never have tried to bluff, but she'd already made the offer. And so she begins a life of working toward her career while paying off her debt.
Later, Gu Nanxing gradually forces his way into Lin Xiaoman's life, closing in on her at every turn. His gaze darkens. "My fiancée, how much longer are you going to run?"
Lin Xiaoman backs away in shock. "Y-you're the person my family arranged for me to marry, even though we've never met!?"
