A female lead deliberately gets close to a man in dire straits VS a powerful male lead who offers himself up willingly.
In Nanshi, the Jian family has two daughters. Everyone knows the elder daughter, Shen Zhiwei, as refined and elegant, while the younger, Jian Xi, has a notorious reputation for being vicious and cruel.
Jian Xi knew from childhood that she was the one nobody loved. All her happy childhood memories were tied to her grandmother.
After her grandmother died, Jian Xi was brought to Nanshi to live with her parents. From then on, she became the “bad kid” in everyone’s eyes.
For the sake of what little family affection remained, she put up with everything they did to her, until even her fiancé betrayed her.
Having lost utterly, she disappeared from Nanshi that very day.
She went to the small town where her grandmother had spent her whole life to recover. There, she slowly worked through her pain and decided to pay them all back for everything they had done to her.
At first, she only meant to use him. She never expected to fall deeper and deeper herself.
After she got her revenge, Qi Xiuyan came after her. He had known from the beginning that she’d approached him only to get revenge.
He didn’t care, because he was the one who had offered himself up.
He only wanted to ask one thing: Jian Xi, do you love me?
