“Cold, aloof powerbroker x down-on-her-luck girl” “Accomplices + clashing personalities + a battle of wits with countless hidden motives + an ice-cold heart thawing” “Wild, resourceful heroine + poor but clever + unconventional methods ◇ Cold male lead + wealthy heir”
Yu Weisheng is a con artist.
At a charity gala, she had just been praised for rising above her poverty as a student when someone exposed her in front of everyone
“Ms. Yu, you received over 400,000 yuan in subsidies over four years
Does a college student really need that much money?”
“You’ve clearly been fraudulently claiming financial aid, ”
The power at the venue suddenly went out.
A typhoon and torrential rain swept in. The crowd screamed in panic and scattered.
Yu Weisheng sprinted along a deeply flooded road as bright headlights rapidly closed in from behind. If she didn’t get a ride now, it would be too late. She rushed forward and threw herself in front of the car!
It stopped!
She wiped the rain from her face. Before she could even feel relieved, she met a pair of icy eyes through the lowering window
Shen Zhi, chairman and CEO of a financial conglomerate.
She felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her.
The money she’d scammed, of all people, had come from his family!
◇
Shen Zhi was so cold he barely even showed emotion while eating. Yu Weisheng had secretly wondered if there was anything in the world he actually liked.
When she later remembered that thought, her expression was priceless.
Because he was pinning her against the edge of a swimming pool.
Those eyes, once cold and still as a deep well, were now burning with feverish desire, dark and insatiable.
He wanted and took, as if his hunger would never be satisfied.
“Reading Guide”
1. No golden finger. The heroine survives through wit and resilience alone. She keeps her thoughts hidden, observes from the shadows, waits for her moment, and plays the fool to outsmart her enemies.
2. Romance: A distant, cold authority figure gradually falls in love.
3. Not a mindless power fantasy. The supporting characters are smart, too.
