A devil-may-care, scheming young heir × a seemingly docile but haughty young heiress
When Pei Zhi was three, Pei Yubai brought her home from an orphanage. From then on, she became the envy of everyone in Harbor City, the beloved young lady of the Pei family.
People said Pei Yubai was famous for doting on his little sister, but no one knew that Pei Zhi was in love with him.
But Pei Zhi knew she could only ever be his little sister.
The day her girlish feelings came to light, Pei Zhi left Harbor City and returned to the capital, where she took the place of the fake heiress who had been switched at birth and married the Jin family’s young heir, Jin Huaichen.
Jin Huaichen, head of the Jin family in the capital, was born into privilege and held immense power. He was famously cold-blooded and ruthless, and everyone around him feared him. The rumors said he was a notorious playboy who never wanted to marry, but a sudden engagement bound the two of them together.
Their families agreed that they would live together first for one year. If they hadn’t developed feelings for each other by then, the engagement would be called off.
Pei Zhi and Jin Huaichen laid down three rules and planned to run away after a year. But then, by a strange twist of fate, they started swapping bodies.
Pei Zhi: Should we get struck by lightning?
Jin Huaichen: ?
Pei Zhi: Jump off a building?
Jin Huaichen: Die together?
With no other choice, the escape plan was put on hold!
When a woman suddenly appeared by Jin Huaichen’s side, the media seized on the rumors and began digging into Pei Zhi’s identity. They expected to uncover a kept mistress, only to expose details no one had known.
Jin Huaichen, who never gave interviews, made a rare public appearance. Asked about their relationship, he smiled candidly.
“It took me so much trouble to win her over. Don’t scare her off, okay?”
Everyone: What’s going on? Didn’t he swear he’d never marry?
