[Sweet with a touch of angst] [Tycoon System] [Fake heiress] [The male lead turns dark later]
Her name is Shangguan Xi, and she was abandoned beside a garbage heap.
For eighteen years, she lived with her scavenger grandmother in a cramped rental in an urban village, making ends meet by collecting bottles.
Before she died, her grandmother left her a jade pendant engraved with the character “Xi,” along with one last instruction: “Go find your birth parents.”
But before she could even grieve, a self-proclaimed Tycoon System forcibly bonded with her.
Overnight, the girl who had been penniless gained a fortune she could never spend.
To keep up appearances, she had no choice but to pose as the heiress of a reclusive clan, using money to clear her way into Kyoto’s most exclusive circles.
Buying buildings, bidding on paintings, acquiring mines, competing for ancient castles: driven by the System, she went further and further, unaware that someone had already set their sights on her.
His name was Jun Jiuxie, the only son of Kyoto’s Jun family, a favored son of heaven who commanded both the underworld and the legitimate world.
He thought she was a little white rabbit and tried with all his might to shelter her beneath his wings.
When he discovered that her whereabouts were always a mystery, her identity impossible to uncover, and a door in her world forever shut to him, the arrogant, domineering man went completely mad.
“Jun Jiuxie, let go of me!”
“Only when I’m dead.”
Later, he really did nearly die.
Later, she really did leave.
She pretended to be an heiress, but he insisted on giving her his heart.
She fled to the ends of the earth, and he pursued her to the ends of the sea.
“Shangguan Xi, you’re not getting away from me in this lifetime.”
