[Clear-headed, perceptive, gentle heiress × deceptively sweet, obsessive, unhinged tycoon]
The Wen family goes bankrupt overnight and is burdened with debt. Unwilling to let others control her, Wen Zhiyu carefully plots to ensnare Lu Chenyuan, a man of immense power. But she overdoes it and loses some of her memories.
For three years, she acts coy and cute, relying on him, never realizing they have been married all along...
As Wen Zhiyu gradually remembers some things, she also understands that she originally sought his protection. She wants to leave, but he keeps her imprisoned.
Lu Chenyuan treats her with boundless tenderness and indulgence, accommodating her at every turn and reserving all his affection for her alone. Yet he keeps a firm grip on every asset, refusing to put even a fraction in her hands, convinced that with nothing of her own, she can only remain dependent on him.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is meek and clingy, delicate and spoiled, seemingly intent on marrying into wealth and power. But only Wen Zhiyu knows that her docility is an act. She uses her status to build respectable connections, works diligently to amass wealth, and seeks profit without crossing her moral lines. She won’t take a cent earned through shameless or self-serving means. What she wants has never been a life of luxury dependent on a powerful man. She wants the confidence that comes with standing on her own.
When she asks for a divorce, the man starts frantically treating her well. Just as he sinks deeper and deeper, everything is finally exposed.
Wen Zhiyu quickly detaches herself, but Lu Chenyuan refuses to give up. “Yuyu, I’ll give you all my money. Everything is yours, and I’m yours too. All right?”
The woman gives him a wicked smile. “Fine. Then you can call me that, too. Cry as hard as you can. From now on, I make all the decisions...”
The man protests, “That won’t do. It’s the only perk I have left...”
The male lead starts out with an air of superiority, but gradually comes to his senses. After the heroine asks for a divorce and tries to escape time and again, his frantic devotion eventually gives way to a tender awakening.
