A spoiled troublemaker’s mask slips into a battle among suitors x failed attempt to act sweet and obedient x a deranged powerhouse x fake romance turns real
In her previous life, Su Zhi was greedy for wealth and status. She passed off a keepsake she’d found as the memento of her online lover’s ideal girl, deceiving the poor and down-on-his-luck Huo Qi.
But after discovering he was the heir to a powerful Beijing family and the real heiress came looking for him, she brought about her own grisly death at the bottom of the sea.
Reborn, she looked at Huo Qi, who was still working as a security guard, and could practically smell the sea on him.
To save her own life, she decided to play the virtuous wife, scam a little travel money, and disappear.
She swallowed her complaints and washed his cheap market-stall clothes, while secretly pinching a few coins from the grocery money and hiding them under her pillow.
She thought her performance was flawless, but Huo Qi had seen through her clumsy act long ago.
By day, he was a poor security guard earning four thousand yuan a month. By night, he was the ruthless kingpin of a Beijing tycoon family, watching her antics like a play.
On the day her real online lover returned from abroad, Su Zhi hurriedly grabbed a woven sack and tried to sneak away, only for Huo Qi to lock her inside their cramped partitioned room with one hand.
“You deceived me, stole my money, and now that the real deal is here, you want to step aside and let her have me? Too late.”
