Proud, spoiled heiress VS emotionally steady, gentle, scheming top student
[The male lead has been plotting this for ages + they both fall for each other]
Ji Ye was a celebrated figure at Jing University, a lofty flower in everyone’s eyes.
Handsome, smart, and decent, with one especially enviable quality: he was always calm. Everyone who met him liked him. But he had one fatal flaw: he was poor, and would always be poor.
His parents were both dead, and his uncle was chronically ill. He was either working or on his way to work.
No problem. Shen Zhaoying had money, and plenty of it.
One deal tied together two people whose lives had been on completely different tracks.
He knew she was impulsive and easily distracted, but even a man as calm and rational as him couldn’t stop himself from falling for her and losing control...
After all, she was the girl he’d had a crush on for over a decade.
When he heard she was going to be married off for a political alliance, the normally calm and rational Ji Ye couldn’t help pinning her against a wall. “Zhaozhao, choose me.”
Ji Ye thought he would have to work for many more years before he could stand proudly by the princess’s side.
He never expected fate to be so kind to him.
Shen Zhaoying: “Oh, he’s not some poor boy! He promised he’d help me manage the family business. I don’t care, I’m marrying him!”
