[Mutual devotion] [Sweet romance] [Mature couple with simmering tension] [Male lead schemes carefully and makes a forceful advance]
Xia Fanxing, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, has been pampered and willful since childhood, domineering and unreasonable. She's renowned in their social circle for her unmatched beauty, a seductive rose with thorns.
She lives freely and without restraint, and believes in never getting married.
But, to her utter surprise, her family arranged a marriage alliance for her.
Her intended is Zhou Wangchen, the heir to the Zhou family.
Rumor has it that Zhou Wangchen is the most notorious bad boy in their circle: arrogant, unruly, rebellious, and impossible to control.
They also say he's a playboy who's roamed the world of wealth and power and been with countless women.
When Xia Fanxing learned she was to marry a man like that, she told her family, "I'm not interested in dogs," then went abroad for a month to avoid the arranged marriage.
But during her trip, she accidentally slept with an unbelievably gorgeous man.
When she came to her senses, she realized the man was none other than her notorious playboy fiance, Zhou Wangchen.
Xia Fanxing saw black and quickly left him behind, intending to pretend none of it had happened.
But the man pursued her instead, laying one trap after another and luring her into them.
Zhou Wangchen produced an agreement. "Live together for three months. If we're not compatible, we'll end the engagement."
Xia Fanxing raised an eyebrow. "No thanks."
Forced to live with him for three months, she was pinned down on the bed as he smiled, dangerous and alluring.
"Darling, go on. Refuse me."
She gritted her teeth, trembling. "You bastard..."
After they married, someone asked Zhou Wangchen how he'd managed to pluck the wild rose that was Xia Fanxing.
Zhou Wangchen: "I slept my way into her heart."
