In her previous life, she was a fake heiress. To save the real heiress, she schemed against the male lead again and again, driving him to bankruptcy and ultimately to suicide. Reborn, she wants nothing more than to stay away from the plot and focus on making money. But he has already seen through everything. Cold and distant on the surface, he quietly indulges her little tricks at every turn, even presenting her with an entire business empire when her family casts her out. She uses her memories of her previous life to avoid every trap, unaware that he deliberately engineered each crisis to test her and force her to reveal her true self. When the truth comes to light, she goes from reluctantly trying to please him to protecting him of her own accord, while he goes from plotting in the shadows to surrendering completely. Together, they enact a mutual taming: “You thought this was revenge, but I was really just waiting for you to fall in love with me.”
