【A seemingly sweet but secretly rebellious, dramatic beauty VS a seemingly playboyish but actually devoted, sharp-tongued, tsundere heir】
Forbidden tension + forced love + a powerful man losing control + a groveling redemption arc + both leads’ romantic histories are spotless + sweet romance
Qiao Shuyi’s adoptive parents force her to marry, hoping to trade her for a hefty bride price for their precious son.
To finish her education, she becomes Sheng Huaijing’s kept woman for three years.
The heir is a playboy, cold and indifferent, treating her as nothing more than a toy in the palm of his hand.
He warns her again and again: “Be good, and I’ll give you anything you want, except love.”
She keeps to the rules, avoids falling for him, asks for no title, and acts sweet and obedient.
Until she graduates from college and is found by the wealthy Zhou family of Jing City.
It turns out she is the Zhou family’s daughter, missing for twenty years.
Now that she’s finally turned her life around, she asks Sheng Huaijing to break up.
Sheng Huaijing coolly pulls on his pants and leaves her with a deeply humiliating remark: “Got what you wanted out of me, and now you’re ready to go straight?”
At the reunion banquet, someone asks about her romantic history.
Qiao Shuyi lies: “I dated someone once, but he died in a car crash.”
Then the man makes a grand entrance, only to turn out to be her sister’s fiancé!
Terrified, she tries to avoid him, but he keeps coming after her.
In a dark room, with her sister just outside the door, he bites wantonly at her collarbone, enjoying her trembling and shame as if watching a show.
“I died? How come I didn’t know? Qiao Shuyi, you’re not dumping me to move on to someone else!”
He’s the one who forces her into secret trysts.
He’s also the one who uses every means at his disposal to keep her by his side.
Later, he kneels at her feet, the corners of his eyes red, and begs her desperately.
“Qiao Shuyi, you can’t tame me and then throw me away.”
