My Classmate, the School Heartthrob, Is Actually a Tycoon's Heir

The heroine, Shen Nianqing, was born the legitimate daughter of an eminent family. But she was cast aside and exiled for the sake of her family’s interests, and entered the PR industry under an assumed name. While enduring hardship and fighting her way up from the bottom of the workplace, she unexpectedly reunites with her high school deskmate, Lu Lie, the second-generation heir to one of the capital’s top conglomerates. Lu Lie is rebellious and fiery. He once reined in his sharp edges because of Shen Nianqing’s gentle nature, but after their reunion, he barges into her life with all the force of a domineering CEO. As Shen Nianqing faces oppression from the Shen family and trap after trap set by jealous antagonists, Lu Lie becomes a fiercely protective husband. He helps her reclaim her rightful inheritance and stands with her in business battles. From the youthful feelings they never acted on to their adult rivalry in the workplace, the two eventually break free of their family shackles and forge a modern-day legend of a Cinderella rising back to the top.
