[Lighthearted sweet romance / double stand-in blind dates / older man / secret crush / only ever devoted to each other]
Shen Anlan and Ye Zhenzhen had been best friends for seven years.
Her best friend came from a miserable family: a gambling father, a mother who bore it all, a sick younger brother, and a life in pieces.
Then one day, her best friend dropped the act and came clean.
"An'an, I have a secret. I'm actually a rich heiress."
Thinking of how she wouldn't even throw away socks with holes in them,
Shen Anlan didn't take her seriously. She figured her friend had suffered so much that she'd started imagining things after reading too many online jokes.
That is, until she went to meet the blind date arranged by her friend's family in her place.
The man was dressed in a suit, elegant and distinguished, clearly a rich young heir.
Wait, you were serious about this, Zhenzhen?!
Shen Anlan made an excuse to duck into the restroom. "Ye Zhenzhen! You said he was definitely going to break off the engagement, but why did he offer me a courtyard house on Beijing's Second Ring Road as soon as he arrived? I can't do this, "
"You have received 100,000 yuan via Alipay."
"I'm in! I'd do anything for my best friend!"

Xie Yungui, the only son of one of the capital's most powerful families, was famous for being proper and impeccably disciplined.
But he did something outrageous:
He took on his best friend's identity and pursued his best friend's "fiancee."
*
The night his identity was exposed.
Xie Yungui was blindfolded with a ribbon and made to kneel on the bed.
The young woman before him pressed a fingertip to his chest. "I'll ask one last time. Who are you, really?"
Xie Yungui took her hand and bent to kiss the back of it.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Xie Yungui."
