[Alternate-history Republic of China] [Modern, Western-educated young master × noblewoman of the old-fashioned establishment] [Actually, a truly haughty young lady and a young master pretending to abduct her] [Six-year age gap]
When Jiang Tinglan, a young lady from Yangzhou, first arrived in Shanghai, she rescued Zhao Guanlan, who was desperately fleeing at sea. To repay her for saving his life, Zhao Guanlan left her a dragon-and-phoenix ring and told her to come to him if she ever needed anything in Shanghai.
Jiang Tinglan was skeptical and paid his words little mind. It was only when the car sent to pick her up drove into the Zhao family mansion that she realized just how dangerous a man she had gotten involved with.
“Zhao Guanlan, you can’t kill Shen Qingci.”
“Are you still in love with him?”
“He hasn’t broken off our engagement yet. If you do that, I’ll be a widow!”
In a nutshell:
What do you do when you train someone to heel without even realizing it?
