"The Scheming Lover" is a modern urban emotional novel that tells the story of an emotional game between the rational elite lawyer Gu Ziqi and the cynical rich man Xu Tao, which begins with calculation and ends in sincerity.
When logic meets sensibility, when reason loses to heartbeat——
Gu Ziqi, a calm and sharp elite lawyer, is accustomed to measuring the world with legal provisions and controlling everything with rational thinking. Xu Tao, the superficially cynical heir to the group, appears to be casual and uninhibited, but in reality he is secretive and good at manipulating people's hearts through games.
A business lawsuit brought them together. She is the plaintiff's lawyer striving to win the case, and he is the key but elusive witness. The first confrontation is a test, a competition, and a collision of two completely different attitudes towards life. She was disgusted by his frivolity, but he became keenly interested in the truth behind her calm mask.
A love game in the name of scheming, whoever takes it seriously first will lose?
From court to life, from mutual testing to tacit understanding, Xu Tao approaches step by step in his unique "naughty" way, while Gu Ziqi sticks to her rational defense line. The key evidence in the USB flash drive, the sudden "change of face" at the trial, the broken confession in the garage on a rainy night... The truth and lies are intertwined, and calculation and sincerity are difficult to distinguish.
In this emotional tug-of-war full of provocation and tacit understanding, they gradually discovered that the original game had already deteriorated. When Gu Ziqi's proud rationality is losing ground, and when Xu Tao discovers that he is the one trapped in the whirlpool, how will this battle that began with scheming end?
