[Scheming, Overbearing, Cold CEO x Thorny Wild Rose, Stunning Beauty + Coercive Love + Sweet Romance + Clear-Headed, Strong Female Lead + Powerful Man Bows His Head]
The Chi family goes bankrupt, and to save himself, Chi Jiang sends his youngest daughter, Chi Xi, to the auction block to pay off the family’s debts. Under the spotlight, Chi Xi is humiliated as greedy eyes fix on her from below the stage. Just as she despairs, Li Yuheng, a powerful figure from the capital, buys her.
Chi Xi doesn’t understand why he paid such a high price for her, until she stumbles upon a photo of Shen Qingwan in his study and immediately understands.
So he thinks he can use me as a substitute?
Not a chance!
Chi Xi tries all kinds of ways to get herself into trouble, even deliberately flirting with other men to make Li Yuheng angry, hoping to make him despise her.
But Li Yuheng’s possessiveness only grows stronger. “Baby, stop struggling. You’ll never leave me in this lifetime.”
He spoils her without limit, unwilling to let her suffer even the slightest grievance.
Chi Xi is baffled. Wasn’t she supposed to be a substitute? Why is Li Yuheng treating her like a queen?
