The Whole Capital Laughs at Her for Climbing the Social Ladder, but He Can't Get Enough of Her

Ruan Xinwan x Lu Shiyan

[Both leads are virgins, one-on-one romance, seizing the chance to take her place]

The day Ruan Xinwan broke up with her ex, snow blanketed the world. Lu Shiyan's car had stopped at the alley entrance at some point, as if he'd known what was coming.

The window was half open. He had a cigarette between his lips, and his eyes held an unreadable smile. “You broke up?”

Ruan Xinwan glanced at him, her voice colder than the snow. “Even if I did, you're still not an option.”

Later, Ruan Xinwan really did marry Lu Shiyan. Everyone in the capital said she'd climbed a high branch and risen to the top overnight.

Only Lu Shiyan knew there was no high or low branch.

From beginning to end, he was the one who'd weathered every twist and turn, schemed patiently, and finally seized his chance to take advantage of her vulnerability.

The capital laughs that she latched onto him, but he only regrets not getting the chance to claim her sooner.
