Xie Ci spent twenty years in an orphanage before the wealthy Xie family suddenly came to claim him.
His biological father thought he was an embarrassment, his stepmother wanted him gone, and his fake younger brother, Xie Jing, seemed gentle and refined on the surface but secretly conspired with the board to strip him of power. The whole family waited to see him make a fool of himself. A loser was a loser, after all.
Xie Ci smiled. They had no idea that he had spent twenty years pretending to be useless, waiting for this very day.
At the engagement party, he “accidentally” ruined Lin Jinghong’s designer gown and was laughed at by everyone. Around the corner, the two dropped their masks at the same time. She was the only one who saw through him, and the accomplice he had chosen.
He gathered evidence, won over allies in prison, and turned the tables, sending the fake heir to court with his own hands.
As Xie Jing roared amid the explosions, “You’re crazy!”
Xie Ci shielded the woman in his arms and smiled. “Crazy? This is only the beginning.”
Later, Lin Jinghong asked him, “When did you first fall for me?”
Xie Ci thought for a moment. “When you said, ‘Don’t die.’”
Lin Jinghong smiled. “Then when did you first fall for me?”
Xie Ci looked at her. “When you said, ‘There isn’t a single innocent person in this family.’”
They gazed at each other beneath the bright sun.
