Lure Him Into Her Trap, Then Let the Capital’s Powerhouse Hold Her Close

[Clear-headed, alluring beauty × obsessive, calculating power player of the capital]+ [Substitute trope × groveling pursuit × two strong leads flirting]

To save her family, Wen Wan is forced to become a stand-in for a deceased first love. She carefully lays a trap, setting her sights on Fu Yanci, the most powerful man in the capital, who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his hand.

Everyone laughs at her delusions. Mr. Fu already has an irreplaceable woman in his heart, and Wen Wan is nothing but a counterfeit plaything, sure to be discarded like trash sooner or later.

At first, he is exactly as they say: cold and distant, even murmuring another woman's name when he is drunk.

Wen Wan hides all her sharp edges and grievances, playing the perfect, docile shadow. All she wants is a scrap of his affection in exchange for a chance to save her family.

Then, on the night she thinks her job is done and prepares to leave, the man pins her tightly in his arms.

The once aloof, chaste Mr. Fu has blood-red eyes as he presses her against the wall. His scorching kiss brushes her ear, and his voice is hoarse and dangerous. “Wanwan, the play's over and you think you can run?

Who gave you the nerve? You used me, so you'll spend the rest of your life making it up to me.”

As it turns out, he knew all along that it was a trap, yet willingly fell deeper with every step.

Later, everyone in the capital knows that the noble, arrogant Mr. Fu, who keeps all women at a distance, is utterly spoiling an unknown young woman.

When she smiles, he indulges her. When she causes a scene, he backs her up.

Everyone who ever looked down on her must kneel and beg forgiveness.

He raised her to the clouds with his own hands, not because her face resembled someone else's, but simply because she is Wen Wan.

It was a carefully planned seduction, but neither of them realized that the hunter and the prey had long since switched places.
