[Secret love turns real + open flirting, secret satisfaction]
Su Xi was dumped by her fiancé. The night she got drunk, she meant to climb into some man's bed, but accidentally chose the wrong one: her fiancé's cousin's.
Just as things were about to go further, her mistake was discovered, and she enraged this aloof, untouchable man.
She thought they'd never cross paths again. But then her father was framed and suffered a stroke, landing in the hospital. This aloof man was the only one who could save him.
And countless people, from ordinary folk to the most powerful and influential, wanted to ask him for help.
Still, she went to him, ready to face the worst. She had no hope, but he slowly drew her in until she became his caged songbird.
She thought a man like Xi Yuanche, so untouchable, would only ever want her body, never her heart.
Until she was about to marry someone else, and he lost his mind.
The man who looked down on everything bowed his head and held her tight against him.
“Su Xi, I knew you first, five years ago.”
