On My Scumbag Ex’s Engagement Day, I Turned Around and Married His Uncle

On the day of her engagement banquet, Jiang Tinglan catches her fiancé and stepsister tangled up together in the lounge.

Everyone expects her to lose control and fall apart, wondering how this “fake heiress,” raised by the Jiang family, will make her humiliating exit.

But she doesn’t cry or make a scene.

Instead, in full view of everyone, she walks over to the man seated at the far end of the banquet hall, someone even her fiancé wouldn’t dare approach without good reason.

Everyone in Beijing’s elite circle knows Lu Yancheng is aloof and chaste, ruthless in his methods, and the true authority in the Lu family.

He’s also the person her fiancé fears and respects most, the one he’d never dare cross: his uncle.

That night, with a little wine courage, she tilts her head toward him and smiles, beautiful yet cool. “Mr. Lu, dare to play a high-stakes game with me?”

Later, Jiang Tinglan thinks it was just an accident caused by a moment of losing control.

Until the next day, at a family dinner, the man rolls a Buddhist prayer bead between his fingers and casually looks up. In front of everyone at the table, he says evenly:

“Let me introduce you to your future aunt-in-law.”

Everyone thinks she’s reaching for a man above her station because she’s backed into a corner.

But no one knows she’s secretly a top jewelry designer, an international restoration expert, and the Jiang family’s true heir.

And no one knows that Lu Yancheng has been waiting for her to come to him for many years.

This is the story of a clear-headed heroine who takes down a scumbag, face-slaps the wealthy elite, and brings an unattainable beauty down from her pedestal along the way.

It’s also the story of a seemingly chaste and cold Buddhist scion of Beijing’s elite, who gradually loses control, lowers his head, and falls helplessly in love with her.
