The Good Girl Is Out, and the Mad CEO Regrets It Too Late

[Playboy tycoon who treats life as a game × clear-eyed ancient-book restorer + the powerful one learns to bow his head + the hero’s groveling redemption + both leads are each other’s first and only]

Fu Yanchen is the apex predator in Shanghai’s social scene, cold and unfeeling, treating love as a game.

Shen Shuyan is an ancient-book restorer who keeps to herself amid the bustle of city life. Calm as water, she never made room in her plans for someone like him.

On a whim, he makes a bet: she has to play his “perfect girlfriend” for three months.

She plays along, obediently, without asking for too much or wondering about the future.

He says, “I’ll never marry or have children.”

She smiles and nods.

He says, “Our relationship could end at any time.”

She calmly agrees.

Everyone says Shen Shuyan must be madly in love with Fu Yanchen to put up with such a humiliating arrangement.

Until one day, he gets bored and calls an end to the game.

She simply says, “Okay,” then turns and boards a flight overseas to restore national treasures, leaving more freely than anyone could have imagined.

When they meet again, a gentle, refined colleague stands by her side, talking with her about their shared interests and future.

Only then does Fu Yanchen realize that her obedience wasn’t because she loved him. It was because she didn’t care.

He, Fu Yanchen, had been no more than a brief “field study” in her life, not even worthy of being a backup option.

Later, he smashes his prized collection and blocks her path, eyes red. “Shuyan, I lost the game. Don’t go.”

“Please, look at me again.”
