[Cool-headed, calculating CEO]× [Sensitive, meticulous fake heiress]
[Both virgins] [Pretense with a hint of sincerity + mutual exploitation + regretful pursuit + intense push and pull] [Angsty but happy ending]
A rainy night.
Sixteen-year-old Chen Lanzhi knocks on the Jiang family's door, changes her name to Jiang Qingyuan, and sets the gears of fate in motion.
A neutral father, a domineering mother, an invisible older brother, and an arrogant younger sister.
When Qiu Rang appears, she thinks she's found a vine to pull herself ashore, but it turns out to be another whirlpool in the sea.
The real heiress returns, and Jiang Qingyuan is kicked out of the Jiang family.
Having learned the truth and escaped the whirlpool, Jiang Qingyuan finally sees everything clearly.
“I won't be Mrs. Qiu anymore. Let's get divorced.”
“Divorce? Jiang Qingyuan, if you divorce me, you'll have nothing left.”
“I don't want any of it.”
Word gets out that she's apparently divorcing Qiu Rang and has also been dismissed from the Jiang Corporation. Rumors about her spread everywhere.
Everyone laughs at Jiang Qingyuan for reaching too high, only to hit rock bottom. Then that very night, someone sees the young master of the Qiu family carrying her home.
The wind dies down today; time carries away obsession.
Once, my heart stirred for you and the wind rose. Now the wind has stopped, and I'll leave you to time, to the crowd, to a future without me.
