[Cool, aloof, and noble scion of a powerful Beijing family × beautiful rebel whose true nature is hidden beneath the surface]
Everyone knows the Cheng family of Jingbei has a cherished daughter whom they spoil to no end.
Then one day, the Cheng family gains two illegitimate sons. In an instant, they become the laughingstock of all Jingbei, and their cherished daughter, Cheng Nian, is left unwanted.
One day, her father arranges a marriage for her. The man has no power or influence and declares that he’ll marry into the Cheng family.
Cheng Nian meets him once and agrees without a second thought.
Ji Wangyan is Cheng Nian’s fiancé. Everyone thinks the Cheng family found such a son-in-law so Cheng Nian could make way for the illegitimate sons.
Later, her fiancé transforms into the heir to the powerful Ji family of Jingbei.
People assume she has ulterior motives and that he was captivated by her beauty.
But who knows that he has loved her for eight years, and that to keep her by his side, he gambled on marriage once, then risked his life the second time?
**
Three years later, they meet again in a dimly lit private room.
Leaning against the sofa, the man looks at her with drunken eyes. “Cheng Nian, do you remember my name?”
“Ji Wangyan. It’s been a long time.”
What seems like coincidence has been planned all along.
Ji Wangyan never speaks without meaning it.
Life is a play, and it all comes down to acting.
