A Deliberate Temptation, and a Willing Catch

A powerful nobleman bows to love VS a stunning beauty reaches for the highest branch

Shen Nanzhi, eldest daughter of the Shen family of the capital, was a woman of breathtaking beauty.

Everyone said she was alluring and flirtatious, always moving through one social gathering after another. Yet her fiancé always acted like a devoted lover, defending her reputation at every turn.

Shen Nanzhi merely gave a cold laugh. That so-called fiancé was nothing more than part of a carefully planned scheme.

How did she know? Because she had been reborn.

Lu Jinglan, the living King of Hell who struck terror into the hearts of everyone in the capital.

He wielded immense power and wealth, and because he kept his distance from women and was ruthless in his methods, no one dared come within a few feet of him.

Shen Nanzhi wasn’t convinced. The first thing she did after being reborn was publicly kick the hypocritical fiancé who had long been involved with her stepsister to the curb.

Then she leaned into her reputation as someone who played the field and set out to seduce Lu Jinglan, the prize her “dear stepsister” had been scheming to claim.

Shen Nanzhi knew exactly what her weapon was: using her beauty as bait and advancing one step at a time.

In the end, she ruined her hypocritical fiancé’s reputation and made her father and stepsister’s family pay dearly.

Meanwhile, the man who was always composed and dignified had fallen helplessly in love with her before he even realized it.

Seeing the unfathomable obsession in his eyes, Shen Nanzhi forced herself to stay calm. “Lu Jinglan, I’ve always felt there are a lot of problems between us.”

The man leaned down, resting his forehead gently against hers. “All right. Then I’ll solve every single one of them.”

In the eyes of the world, he was a cold, ruthless King of Hell. For her alone, he had ever shed tears and laid aside all his pride.
