Also known as “The Brooding Man Keeps Competing for Her and Rises to the Top”
A sweet romance, so sugary it'll make your teeth ache. Come and read!
Cang Xin has two secrets she must keep: first, she likes Gu Shaoyuan, her uncle in name only; second, she's an impostor, pretending to be the long-lost daughter of the Gu family.
Neither secret can stay hidden forever.
When Gu Shaoyuan learns about her crush, he chooses to avoid her and get engaged to someone else. Not wanting to cause him trouble, she finds Feng Chenxiao to pose as her boyfriend.
Later, Gu Shaoyuan corners Cang Xin in the restroom.
He leans over her, pinning her against the wall. His eyes are red-rimmed, and for the first time, he looks pitiful and desperate. “Cang Xin, I love you. I'm sorry. I only just realized I can't lose you. Can you come back to me?”
Before Cang Xin can answer, Feng Chenxiao appears and pulls her into his arms. “Mr. Gu, as ill-mannered as ever, and still into the weirdest things. Now you're going after another man's wife, too? Stay away from my wife. She's pregnant and suffering from severe morning sickness. Your breath is so foul, you'll make her sick.”
But once they're back home, the usually domineering Feng Chenxiao clings to her restlessly day after day. “Honey, you won't leave me and the baby, will you? If I did something wrong or there's something you don't like, tell me. I'll change anything. Please don't abandon the two of us.”
Gu Shaoyuan refuses to give up either. “Cang Xin, you lied to me, didn't you?! You're not married or pregnant. It's all fake! You love me! You're mine and mine alone for the rest of your life. I won't let you leave me!”
The old-school domineering CEO regrets losing his wife and tries to win her back vs. the brooding second male lead who fights his way to the top.
