She thought marrying him was a ploy.
After returning from studying abroad, her uncle bullied her as an orphan and gangsters blocked her door. In desperation, Cheng Shuyun set his sights on the most powerful man in Ancheng - the cold-faced warlord Gu Yansheng who was never flirtatious with women.
She carefully planned three encounters and calculated his every move. Sure enough, he took the bait.
It was only after the marriage that she discovered that he had seen through her from the beginning.
He watched her act, watched her approach, watched her think she was succeeding. Then he asked her lightly:
"Cheng Shuyun, why did you marry me?"
At that moment, she realized that she was the one most deeply involved in this situation.
——Later, he pushed her against the corner and said in a low voice: "You have been plotting against me for so long. It's time to pay her back tonight."
