The Powerful Figure of the Capital Has Been Plotting to Win Me Over

Contract lovers + a powerful man from the capital's inner circle + love at first sight and a calculated courtship + a clear-eyed, practical woman from the south

He looked down on her from above, with no interest in playing the devoted lover. He had been plotting against her from the moment he first laid eyes on her.

They went about their own lives during the day and shared the same bed at night.

No arguments, no intimacy. They did only one thing.

Every day, the note he left her said, “While it’s still hot.”
