Wealthy heir × illegitimate granddaughter
In the Ji family’s eyes, Ji Shu was an illegitimate child who shouldn’t even be alive, until Ji Xiuwen came along.
Ji Xiuwen barely gave Ji Shu a second thought. He only knew there seemed to be someone like her in the family.
But that timid, delicate girl grew up unnoticed, becoming someone he never could have imagined.
The first time he saw her was in an alley behind a bar late at night.
The second time, she skipped class and snuck into the wealthy district.
The third time, she was climbing over a wall...
The fourth time, she was drunk...
Little by little, Ji Xiuwen realized that beneath her well-behaved exterior, the girl was wild and defiant.
He knew perfectly well she was poison, yet he grew more and more curious about all the sides of her hidden beneath the surface.
On a gloomy, humid night, the air was stifling.
Ji Shu slipped away from the crowd, climbed the courtyard wall from a secluded corner, and lightly leaped down.
The moment her skirt settled in the breeze, a pair of shiny black leather shoes appeared before her.
Ji Shu looked up in alarm.
The man bent down. The instant his cool index finger hooked under her chin...
Ji Shu's heart seemed to drop...
This was bad!
