One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s first and only, sweet indulgence, a slow and steady love story.
Lin Wan is Fucheng’s most polished “imitation.” She rents designer couture, carries counterfeit luxury bags, and dresses up a shell company as an up-and-coming art firm, all to earn enough for her mother’s dialysis. She walks a knife’s edge playing the socialite, with a clear goal: get close to Lu Chengyuan, the man in charge of the Lu Group, and secure a letter of intent for a life-saving business deal.
Lu Chengyuan is known in their circle as an “iceberg.” Ruthless and sharp-eyed, he sees straight through her disguise to the desperation beneath. Yet when her deception is exposed, he offers her an outrageous deal: “Be my fiancée for three months and keep my family off my back about marriage. I’ll take care of the partnership and your medical bills.”
She is frighteningly clear-headed. She wears her “gold-digger” label openly, but never lets genuine feelings contaminate a transaction. He is domineering to the point of obsession, accustomed to controlling everything, yet the calculating look in her eyes gradually makes him lose his composure.
When a fake socialite’s fight for survival meets a true blue-blood’s fall into love, and the cold terms of their contract are torn apart by growing intimacy
Lin Wan realizes she has wagered more than her livelihood: her heart has already been lost. Lu Chengyuan finally understands that what he wants is no mere shield, but to keep this clear-eyed, stubborn “prey” in his world for good.
A deal that begins with self-interest ultimately becomes a journey toward saving each other.
