Top-tier tycoon family × childhood friends × double lives × mutual taming
I thought I was pretending to be sweet and obedient, but it turns out you were hiding your talents too.
Lu Yanzhou, known throughout the business world as the “Living King of Hell,” is aloof, abstinent, and ruthless.
No one knows that the youngest CEO of the Lu Group privately loses sleep because he’s afraid of the dark and turns clingy and coquettish only around his childhood friend. He’s a hopeless romantic through and through.
Shen Qinghuan, the most eligible socialite, is gentle, refined, and the very picture of serenity.
No one knows that this “good girl” who taps a wooden fish in an art gallery is a sharp-tongued finance influencer with millions of followers. She just used the money she made short-selling stocks to buy a 3% stake in her fiancé’s family business.
They are family friends, childhood sweethearts, and the perfect match in everyone’s eyes.
They are also rivals, drama queens, and the only people who can be themselves around each other.
When the spotlight at the financial gala falls on a familiar figure, and a domineering CEO suddenly wanders into a livestream wearing a face mask
their twenty-four-year “undercover operation” finally ends in the most spectacular reveal of their true selves.
“Pretending to be sweet is exhausting.”
“Hiding my talents isn’t easy either.”
“Then from now on... I’ll only pretend for you.”
I’ve seen the real you, and I love that version of you more than anyone else could.
