Oh No! The Ice-Cold Fake Heiress Was Kissed Until She Cried

[A seemingly aloof crown prince who is calculating at every turn x a seemingly cool and proud fake heiress who is actually sensitive and fragile]

Ji Shiyan, the crown prince of one of Beijing's most powerful families, is the untouchable golden boy in everyone's eyes.

Cool and dignified, he has always been indifferent to the world around him.

That is, until the day he transfers to a school in Shanghai.

There, he meets a girl named Shen Siyan. She has a face beautiful enough to astonish the world, yet as a fake heiress, she lives like an invisible nobody.

Faced with her adoptive parents' favoritism, she neither fights nor complains. Like a startled hedgehog, she uses her pride to keep everyone at a distance.

At just one glance, Ji Shiyan's heart inexplicably skips a beat.

Only one thought remains in his mind: he wants to protect her.

From then on, the ever-arrogant young master Ji takes the first step toward someone for the first time.

He eats cheap plain noodles with her, sees through the exhaustion beneath her facade, and carefully works his way into her life.

Unfortunately, she is far too guarded and never dares accept even the smallest kindness from him.

That's all right. He has plenty of patience.

Later, everyone knows that Ji Shiyan has a girl by his side.

He protects her, spoils her, and has no room in his eyes for anyone else.

To repay the Shen family for their kindness, Shen Siyan has always lived with clear-eyed restraint, never daring to depend on anyone or hope that someone might truly care for her.

Until Ji Shiyan shields her again and again, telling her, “Shen Siyan, you don't have to be so sensible all the time.”

Only later does she understand that being chosen wholeheartedly and cherished needs no reason.

Besides, she is none other than the beloved daughter the top-tier Ji family has searched for over many years.
