[Bright, resilient heroine × cool, aristocratic hero]
Everyone says Shen Ke is a gold-digger with a notorious reputation who loves attaching herself to the powerful.
When she “set her sights on” the young master of the Lu family, Zhou Zhengchuan warned her sternly more than once.
“The Lu family is far beyond the reach of someone like you.”
“Oh? I’m reaching above my station?”

If he wanted her to leave, she’d make sure to keep popping up and provoking him.

But all her teasing and provocation eventually made the cool, self-controlled Zhou Zhengchuan fall for her. When he secretly tested the waters to find out how she felt,
Shen Ke replied, “No feelings, no money involved. I just need a bedmate.”
Later, the one who couldn’t stop getting tangled up with Shen Ke, willingly lowering his head to beg for a proper place in her life, and losing control of his possessiveness, was none other than Zhou Zhengchuan.
The heroine is so charming. After leaving the bad company, most of the people she met were good people. The male protagonist is strong, shrewd and has a bottom line, so it's not awkward
