[Beautiful, delicate, self-serving and spoiled heroine × abstinent male lead who only seems aloof but is actually lovesick]

Su Mingyue has known since childhood that she is beautiful. Thanks to her pretty face, she has always wanted to marry into the city and live a comfortable life.

By chance, she meets her fourth brother’s superior. After counting the pockets on his military uniform, Su Mingyue realizes he must be a high-ranking officer. If she gets together with him, she can become an officer’s wife.

Relying on her delicate, soft figure, Su Mingyue repeatedly flirts with him. With her tender eyes and crimson lips, she is determined to turn Lu Wenjue, that hard stone, into putty in her hands.

She keeps finding ways to get close to Lu Wenjue, softly praising his strength and sweetly telling him how impressive he is. But they have already hugged and kissed, so why has he still not given her a proper place in his life?

Lu Wenjue meets someone whose vivid beauty and alluring charm teach him what desire is.

He is no gentleman. He covets her softness but does not want to spoil her innocence. Yet she visits his dreams night after night. He gazes at her as if he were lying on a hill at night and beholding a goddess. When he wakes, everything is an illusion.

One day, Su Mingyue sways her way toward him, hesitantly leaning into his arms and sweetly saying her feet hurt. Lu Wenjue can no longer hold back. He lowers his head and captures the lips he has longed for day and night.

He surrenders even as he remains clearheaded. He knows Su Mingyue is foolish, shallow, greedy, and shortsighted. Fortunately, he has power and wealth to spare, and willingly humbles himself for her, making her dream come true.

[The heroine is no good person. She is flawed, terrible at things, but still loves to play. Her whole family is no good either, and each of them has their own agenda. Only the plot is bumpy; the romance between the leads is sweet all the way through.]
