A sharp, independent heiress who knows exactly what she wants VS a cool, aloof powerbroker who willingly lets her use him
[One-on-one romance + Self-interested heroine + Both leads are each other’s first and only + Second male lead’s long road to win her back]
Her fiancé doesn’t love her. Instead, he gets together with the adopted sister she hates most.
Shen Nian turns around and goes straight to her fiancé’s younger uncle.
They sleep together, kiss, then get married.
From beginning to end, Shen Nian only uses Qin Yu.
She loves his power, status, money, and connections, but she doesn’t love him.
…
Qin Yu knew from the start that Shen Nian had ulterior motives for getting close to him.
He didn’t love Shen Nian.
He simply found her novel and entertaining.
He married her on a sudden impulse of possessiveness.
Shen Nian was dangerously alluring, exactly his type.
He never imagined that one day he would be driven mad, eyes bloodshot, and brought to his knees in desperation.
“Shen Nian, you stole my heart, then just turned around and walked away?”
“Darling, please love me…”
…
Qin Zhaoye regretted it.
He realized that Shen Nian was the one he loved most.
Drunk in the middle of the night, he pounded on the door of Shen Nian’s apartment. “Shen Nian, he’s older than you. He’ll die before you, and you’ll end up alone. I’m younger, so even if I’m barely clinging to life, I’ll still die after you.”
He had no idea that Shen Nian was pinned against the door while a certain “beast in fine clothes” knelt before her. Hearing his voice, the man mumbled, “Darling, am I old?”
