Working Hard to Keep Up My Heiress Persona, As Always

[Resilient Sunflower × Scheming Cedar] The mastermind enters the game for love. The one on top bows their head. Reconciliation after heartbreak. HE.

“He stole the light, only to be kept alive by it.”

For five million, Gu Ying became the fake younger sister of Fu Hexin, the man in charge of the Fu family, and took on the identity of its heiress.

She dutifully kept up her heiress act, until reporters surrounded her. Used to bearing everything alone, she took it all on herself. But Fu Hexin, who was away on a business trip, rushed home overnight. “I know how capable you are… But sharing this with you is both my responsibility and my right.”

But when every tender moment began with a lie, every word Gu Ying spoke in the cold hospital room sounded like a curse. “I'll hate you for the rest of my life!”

The light he had stolen still wasn't his to keep…

Three years later, Fu Ying, an internationally renowned director, reunites with Fu Hexin at a film festival awards ceremony.

She finds herself captivated once again by those long, slender fingers, but his teasing voice pulls her back to reality. “Director Fu, are you very interested in my hands?”

Once the awkwardness of their reunion fades, Fu Ying has no choice but to make a deal with Fu Hexin to investigate her parents' deaths. “You promised I could return to the company.”

He looks at her, his eyes dark. “And what about you? You promised… you'd marry me.”

Almost humbly, he says, “Fu Ying, marry me. In return, I'll give you a share in 68% of the Fu Group's holdings.”

Sunny, can we give this a different ending this time?
