[Online romance + nine-year age gap + sweet romance]
[Pretends to be a well-behaved heiress × abstinent, fatherly powerhouse]
Qin Shiya has it all planned out: her best friend will marry Huo Fanchen, and she’ll marry his nephew, Huo Jiayou.
The two of them will live together at the Huo family estate and never be apart.
While her best friend is busy with an art exhibition, she asks Qin Shiya to use her own Facebook account to chat online with Huo Fanchen for two months.

Everything goes according to plan.
One day, Huo Fanchen sends her a photo on Facebook. “Is that you in the picture? Who’s the man holding you?”
“That’s me. You know I’m an artist. I’m doing an experiment on hugging strangers.”
“You’re not lying to me?”
“Absolutely not.”

The two families are about to meet to discuss the engagement.
Then the man from the photo turns up at the dinner.
Claiming to be Qin Shiya’s best friend’s boyfriend, he exposes her outrageous private life.
Huo Fanchen is furious. “How dare you lie to me?”
“I’m not the only one who lied to you. Qin Shiya did too.”
Only then does Qin Shiya realize that her best friend has deceived her as well.
The price of deceiving him is losing everything: fame, fortune, and reputation.
Qin Shiya begs him, “Can you please not take it out on my family?”
“Sure. In exchange, you can spend the rest of your life making it up to me.”
