At fifteen, Pei Sheng went from an ordinary girl to a wealthy heiress. After reuniting with her birth family, she also found herself bound by an engagement.

Everyone knew that Fu Zihao, the eldest legitimate grandson of the Fu family, already had someone he loved, so she didn’t take the engagement seriously.

That changed when her maternal grandfather in Hong Kong left behind a vast fortune on his deathbed, stipulating that she marry into the Fu family.

At the engagement banquet, her bridegroom-to-be ran off at the last minute because of a phone call from her adoptive younger sister. She became a laughingstock among high society, while everyone told her to be magnanimous and understanding toward her sister.

Fu Wangzhou, the head of the Fu family, was the very picture of grace and refinement. He gazed intently at her pale face. “Perhaps you should choose someone else.”

Pei Sheng asked, “Uncle Fu, do you have someone better to recommend?”

As the Fu family’s heir, Fu Wangzhou naturally knew the character of every one of its younger generation.

If Fu Wangzhou had someone in mind, she could consider him.

The man’s thin lips curved slightly. His cool, clear voice rang like jade. “What do you think of me?”

The head of the Fu family, one of Jingbei’s most powerful clans, was elegant and refined, kept women at a distance, and was handsome and distinguished. He was the dream man of every society beauty.

One day, word spread that Fu Wangzhou was marrying his nephew’s former fiancée. Those in the know were shocked and said they didn’t approve.

After the wedding, Pei Sheng thought Fu Wangzhou was a perfect gentleman. He indulged her in everything and took care of every detail, making their marriage seem nothing short of perfect.

Only later did she discover that his refined elegance was just a facade. Impeccably dressed in public, he let his true nature show in private, spending every night in passion as he panted softly by her ear. “Little Iris, you’re mine.”
