[Devoted, fiercely loyal hero with a surprising side × seemingly delicate but actually scheming heroine × playing the fool to catch the tiger]
After Jiang Yan became an orphan, she was assigned to live with her aunt, Jiang Wenting, the woman who had destroyed her family. Jiang Yan wanted to bring her down, but she simply wasn't capable enough.
Her aunt guarded against her day and night, but three years later, she still couldn't stop Jiang Yan from seeking a way out of her control by getting close to her stepson, Sheng Suiyu, the powerful crown prince of Beijing's elite circles.
Sheng Suiyu hated Jiang Wenting for causing his mother's death, and when Jiang Yan arrived, that hatred extended to her as well.
In his eyes, Jiang Yan loved pretending to be fragile and winning people's sympathy. Yet the more time he spent with her, the more he found himself feeling sorry for her.
The levelheaded, decisive Sheng Suiyu gradually fell for her sweet, obedient ways.
But at Jiang Yan's eighteenth birthday banquet, her stepmother publicly tried to arrange a marriage between her and a young heir from a prominent family.
What shocked Sheng Suiyu even more was that Jiang Yan had taken a liking to Li Zhixing, the son of the utterly useless Mr. Li!
With a wicked smile, he publicly put Li Zhixing in an impossible position.
Just as he expected, Jiang Yan turned to him for help.
Sheng Suiyu toyed with a strand of her hair.
“Be good, and I'll help you this once.”
The heroine suffers early on, then the hero suffers later. Their push and pull is intense, but their respective positions force them to keep their distance in front of others.
