(There’s nowhere for him to grovel for her back + devoted one-on-one romance + sweet and doting, no angst + the leads are each other’s first love)
(Clear-headed, alluring heroine + hopelessly lovestruck hero)
To pay off her debts and save her father, Lu Xingchen willingly signed a one-year contract with Madam Si. The terms were simple: she would act as a substitute lover for her son, Li Siyuan.
Li Siyuan was born into privilege, handsome, hot-tempered, and still carried a torch for his first love.
Lu Xingchen acted sweet and obedient, putting Li Siyuan first in everything. If he told her to go east, she wouldn’t go west.
As if! For ten million a year, only an idiot wouldn’t give it her all.
Li Siyuan always thought his canary loved him with all her heart.
When his first love returned from abroad, he couldn’t wait to get back together with her.
His first love kept making snide, sugary remarks to Lu Xingchen and urged Siyuan to cut ties with her.
Little did they know that once the contract ended, Lu Xingchen would take the ten million she’d earned and walk away without a second thought.
After leaving, Lu Xingchen was immediately asked to get back together by the ex-boyfriend she’d dumped nearly four years earlier.
Qi Yan: Baby, I’m here to collect what you owe me in love.
Qi Yan’s sole purpose in clawing his way to the top was to protect the woman he loved.
Luckily, he succeeded.
Li Siyuan regretted letting her go. But it wasn’t until he saw Lu Xingchen throwing a tantrum at an exceptionally handsome man that he realized just how badly he’d been wrong.
Important note: The hero and heroine have always belonged to each other, body and soul.
