[Polished Gold Digger × Lovesick Prince of the Capital]
Whenever someone lies, a crisp bell rings by Xu Zhiyi's ear. This is the supernatural ability she gained when she was reborn.
Thanks to this knack, she saw through people long ago and managed to save a little money.
In her previous life, she pretended to be Gu Nanfeng's childhood betrothed and first love, deceiving him for three years.
When his real first love returned, she was exposed in front of everyone, became the laughingstock of the entire city, and eventually died a miserable death.
Given another chance, she understands herself: greedy and timid, she only wants to make a quick buck and run. She has no intention of getting emotionally invested.
She keeps playing the gentle first love, carefully soothing Gu Nanfeng as he struggles in a bitter family feud while living under an assumed name, all the while saving enough to make her exit.
But when his first love returns as expected and exposes her in front of everyone, Xu Zhiyi is actually relieved.
At last, it's over. Staying alive is all that matters.
His first love says gently, "Nanfeng, don't be upset over someone like her. She's not worth it."
Gu Nanfeng gives a cool laugh. "What would I have to be upset about? I never loved her!"
Clang, clang, clang!
The bell by Xu Zhiyi's ear rings frantically without stopping.
