Why Is My Childhood Friend So Two-Faced?

[Childhood sweethearts + both pure + happy ending + scheming childhood sweetheart]

My name is Gu Yang, and I’m the richest man in Yucheng. I spent twenty years carefully raising my little childhood sweetheart, only for some rich playboy to steal her away?

Fine.

I set aside my pride as a billionaire and found myself a master of sweet-talking schemes to teach me the art.

First, I become best buddies with my rival, then I show him the delights of the wider world. When he takes her on a date, I steal the opportunity. When he apologizes, I “smooth things over.”

I cradle the arm I “hurt for his sake” and sweet-talk my childhood sweetheart: “It’s all my fault. Don’t blame him...”

I watch as she gradually sees her scumbag boyfriend for what he is and falls into my arms.

I think I’ve won.

Until she holds up my “Master of Sweet-Talking Schemes” diary and smiles at me.

“Mr. Gu, did you have fun pretending to be weak, stealing someone’s girlfriend, and playing the wounded hero?”

I pin her against the wall, my voice hoarse.

“I did. But the best part is finally being able to love you openly and legitimately.”
