[A gentle but strong heiress * a cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside CEO, heroine falls in love after marriage, hero has a secret crush, powerful-family alliance]
Heiress Zhong Wanqing hides her identity and dates second-tier actor Wei Lu for five years.
When her family starts pressuring her to marry, Zhong Wanqing can’t take it anymore and asks Wei Lu to come home with her and face her parents.
But the usually gentle and doting Wei Lu suddenly shows his true colors. He says their social statuses don’t match, threatens her with a breakup, and tells her to know her place and stop coveting things that don’t belong to her.
Gentle but strong, Zhong Wanqing sees what a scumbag he is and breaks up with him without hesitation.
But as she flees the hotel, she’s surrounded by fans.
To avoid making the gossip headlines while she’s breaking up, she asks a man leaving the elevator for help. He turns out to be Pei Yunqi, the man her family arranged for her to meet.
Seeing the “hickey marks” on her neck, Pei Yunqi makes a rude remark, refuses to help, and coldly walks away.
Zhong Wanqing holds his coldness and the embarrassment of having him point out the “hickey marks” against him.
A few days later, she goes on the blind date her mother arranged. When she sees that the man she’s meeting is the same one who pointed out the “hickey marks” on her neck, she gets up to leave.
But her mother tells her that he’s taken a liking to her and wants to get engaged and married.
Zhong Wanqing suspects he has some hidden motive or scheme and refuses to marry him.
She acts up, throws tantrums, and even teams up with her best friend to set a trap for him and seduce him, but the man remains unmoved and is determined to marry her…
