[Clear-headed cultural relics expert from Beijing’s elite circles × flirtatious young heir from Hong Kong’s upper crust]
[Mutual pining becomes real + secret identity revealed + wealthy CEO + age gap + sweet 1v1 romance]
Chen Siyan has had a crush on Huo Yuanshen for six years, never daring to hope he might return her feelings.
Then she overhears him joking with a friend: “Marriage is the most solid alliance there is. She has a respectable background, the right abilities, and she’s a little princess of Beijing’s elite. Why wouldn’t I marry her?”
She gives up on him completely and agrees to the family-arranged engagement with the Xu family, to repay the Li family for raising her.
At their engagement banquet beneath the night lights of Victoria Harbour, she smiles tenderly with her fiancé on her arm. The diamond ring is blindingly conspicuous.
Huo Yuanshen corners her in the dressing room, removes the ring, and says in a low, obsessive voice:
“BB, you stole my heart. Now you want to marry someone else?”
The crush she tried so hard to put behind her was the beginning of a plan he’d been laying for years.
Mr. Huo’s guide to winning her back: No corner is unassailable, just make the bait tempting enough.
