[Face-slapping wish fulfillment + sweet romance + a powerful man relentlessly closing in + willingly falling into temptation]
[Cool, unassuming real heiress who plays the pig to eat the tiger vs. a scheming mogul with no desires]
Wen Sang was switched at birth and spent twenty-three years being raised by her adoptive father, a miracle-working doctor, in a remote mountain village.
She returned to the Gu family in Beijing as their real daughter, only to face the fake heiress’s schemes and the whole city’s ridicule.
Everyone called her uncouth and said she was unworthy of her arranged fiancé, a match both sides had long since grown to resent: Xiao Jingshen, head of the Xiao family.
Then, at the welcome-home banquet, the Gu family’s old master suffered a sudden attack. A renowned doctor pronounced him dead, and the course of her life changed.
With three fingers on his pulse and a silver needle to bring him back to life, Wen Sang pulled him from death’s door and humiliated every guest in the hall.
She had planned to quietly break off the engagement and leave to continue practicing medicine and helping the sick, but the half-piece of ancestral jade she lost while saving him ended up in her fiancé’s hands.
The next day, Xiao Jingshen set the jade pendant on his desk and stared at her with a smile.
“Miss Wen, you took my token and thought you could run? Quite bold.”
She only wanted to put an end to their arranged engagement, take back the pendant, and leave, but the man wouldn’t allow it.
Late at night in the Xiao residence, he pinned her in a corner, his thin lips brushing her ear as he murmured,
“Break off the engagement? Don’t even think about it.”
“Stay here, like a good girl. I’m entrusting you with my life.”
