With college graduation just around the corner, Gu Zhaozhao is manipulated by her parents into an arranged marriage and accidentally loses her virginity. When the real heiress shows up, she decides to tear off the mask and head back to her village!
She helps her mother farm, helps her grandfather grow medicinal herbs, and starts livestreaming on the side. She leads the villagers of Dalin in growing crops, developing tourism, and opening homestays!
She never imagined that her scumbag father, who had abandoned his wife and daughter to run off to Harbor City, would come home!
Money? Yes, please! A house? Absolutely!
She has a little one to raise. How could she say no?
Her scumbag dad’s mistress wants to hurt her baby? How can she let that slide?
Pay up. He’d better pay up!
And what about that man who wants the baby? What’s with the cold face?
Gu Zhaozhao isn’t falling for that act!
Qin Shao became head of the Qin family at thirty. Old-fashioned and ruthless, he has a fearsome reputation, and everyone in Beicheng is wary of him.
After an unexpected night together, he learns that the woman is Gu Zhaozhao, the gentle, well-behaved third daughter of the Gu family.
Remembering how she’d challenged his abilities and the wound on his back, he feels no resentment. In fact, he’s even tempted to do it again.
The second time they meet, Gu Zhaozhao is happily digging in the dirt and planting vegetables. He watches from a distance without disturbing her.
The third time, Gu Zhaozhao, heavily pregnant, is cursing some old man. Qin Shao steps in to help, only to be mistaken for an accomplice and beaten up right along with him.
After Gu Zhaozhao gives him an earful, he finally learns that their night together was all a misunderstanding!
Qin Shao rests a hand on Gu Zhaozhao’s swollen belly and says hoarsely, with certainty, “The baby is mine.”
The doctor had diagnosed him as infertile, yet he’s going to have a child of his own!
He wants the baby!
And he wants the baby’s mother, too!
