[Sweet on the surface, dark underneath | One female lead, multiple male leads | Stunning beauty | The men must win her back | Not a conventional wish-fulfillment story | A scoundrel's sincere love]
What is it like to have breathtaking beauty?
You Lian failed her arts college entrance exams and came from a small, obscure city. When you're born into hardship, beauty can often bring things beyond your control, and extraordinary beauty can feel like a curse.
But You Lian refused to accept that!
At nineteen, armed with beauty and ambition, she went to the expensive city of Lugang alone. By yielding in order to advance and plotting every move, she became a Lugang socialite worth tens of millions five years later.
She swallowed all the hardships of her past and wanted only to marry into a wealthy family and secure a happy ending.
But the gifts fate bestows, like a dependable man or beauty, often come with a twist.
Her fiancé set an overwhelming trap that left her tens of millions in debt overnight.
Just as she felt all hope was gone and wanted to die, Sheng Wang wrote her a check and looked down at You Lian, kneeling on the floor with barely any clothes on.
“Here's a hundred million. I'll buy three years of your life.”
You Lian spent three years as Sheng Wang's caged songbird. He spoiled her, loved her, and threw her a wedding that made headlines across the country.
She thought she had finally found true love, never realizing it was yet another con, this time from a scoundrel with a heart.
