[Scheming younger master × cool-faced but warm-hearted fake heiress]
[Devoted guard × younger man × dark, pure love × sensual romance]
The Zhan family made a grand announcement that they had found their biological daughter, missing for many years.
Overnight, Zhan Zhining went from the golden girl of Hong Kong City's business world to a fake heiress accused of usurping another's place.
Then news of an arranged marriage between the Zhan and Ling families exploded like thunder out of a clear sky.
Everyone knew that the most outstanding member of the Ling family was now an illegitimate son kept out of sight.
The once-celebrated golden girl could only become a tool for the family's interests beneath the stigma of being a fake heiress.

Hong Kong City. On the top floor of its most luxurious hotel, the first rays of sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
“There's a million on this card. From now on, don't ever show your face in front of me again.”
After a night of passion, Zhan Zhining held out a black card to the man.
A trace of lingering intimacy remained in the room.
“Was I not good enough for you, Sister?”
The man's eyes were red-rimmed, and faint red marks remained on his bare skin. He opened his mouth and gently bit the black card she offered him.
But all he got in reply was the sight of Zhan Zhining walking away.
“How cruel you are, Sister...”
He murmured softly, an unreadable emotion flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't until the family banquet three days later that Zhan Zhining learned it was her mother who was to be married off.
And when that figure appeared before her once more...
“Sister, do you remember me?”
Ling Senye smiled faintly, his expression unreadable to her.
“Let's get reacquainted. My name is Ling Senye, of the Ling family, one of Hong Kong City's four great families: Zhan, Ling, Chu, and Mo.”
He leaned closer, noticing her take half a step back.
“Sister, don't you think this brings us a little closer?”
