Ruan Mian is extremely shy around people, but when she opens her eyes, she's transmigrated into a novel as the “scheming gold digger” who relentlessly swindles the male lead out of his feelings and money.
Staring at Lu Shiyan, the aloof, ascetic, ruthless heir to a powerful family in Beijing, Ruan Mian's legs nearly give out. But to stay alive, she has no choice but to play her part.
Her eyes reddening, she shakily extends a tiny hand and stammers at the top of her voice:
“G-give me fifty million, or I'll go find some other man!”
Lu Shiyan stubs out his cigarette. His expression unreadable, he hands her an unlimited black card.
“You're this scared and still trying to be a player?”
Everyone assumes Lu Shiyan is just toying with her.
Then, three months later, a friend catches the usually cold and distant head of the Lu family kneeling to put shoes on Ruan Mian, his voice indulgent and helpless:
“I just bought you a yacht yesterday. Why do you want a helicopter today?”
“Be good, Mianmian. I'll buy it tomorrow.”
Later, after swindling him out of enough money, Ruan Mian buys a standing-room-only ticket and vanishes overnight.
The little bird Lu Shiyan kept in his cage has flown away.
They meet again in a remote town.
Lu Shiyan pins her firmly against a wall, slowly loosening his tie. His eyes are wild and ominous, but his thumb gently strokes her pale cheek.
“Didn't you say you loved me?”
“You took my money. Where do you think you're going, hmm?”
Ruan Mian: “!!!”
Help! Wasn't this man supposed to have absolutely no feelings for her?!
