In her previous life, Zhou Yanzhi rose steadily through the ranks to protect his childhood sweetheart, pretending to date Shen Zhizhi.
As she happily prepared her wedding trousseau, he ignored everyone’s warnings and went to save his childhood sweetheart, leaving himself severely burned.
But the childhood sweetheart immediately denied any connection to him, then urged Zhou Yanzhi’s whole family to pressure Shen Zhizhi into marrying him.
Driven to madness, Shen Zhizhi threw herself into a river and died.
Reborn, she broke things off with the scumbag for good and focused on building her career.
When the scumbag noticed how much her personality had changed, he fell in love with the new her.
Shen Zhizhi sneered. “As if you’re good enough for me!”

Zhou Luye ran into a young woman while on a mission. He assumed she was attracted to his looks.
Then he realized he’d been flattering himself.
She wasn’t interested in him as a person, only in his position.
Zhou Luye pretended not to see through her intentions and played along with her act again and again.

“Is that so? How about we take a look around the civil affairs bureau? There’s plenty of room there!”
“...”
