[Fake and True Heiresses + Marriage First, Love Later + A Long-Standing Scheme]
[Scheming Heiress + Powerful, Reserved Man Who Wants to Win Her Over]
At eleven, Shen Nuo went from a poor mountain girl to a young lady of the capital’s elite circle.
What awaited her was her family’s coldness and favoritism.
Only Gu Yucheng treated her gently, becoming a ray of light in her dark life.
But after Shen Xiwei took a knife for him, that light gradually became a blade aimed at Shen Nuo’s heart.
They went to the Civil Affairs Bureau three times, and every time Shen Xiwei sabotaged the wedding.
Looking back on it later, Shen Nuo couldn’t help but remark:
Shen Xiwei really was her benefactor.
+
In front of everyone, Shen Nuo called Gu Yucheng “brother-in-law.”
It confirmed his relationship with her sister and erased their past.
He was shocked, but he didn’t release the hand protecting Shen Xiwei.
He arrogantly assumed Shen Nuo wouldn’t leave him and was only throwing a tantrum.
+
To claim the inheritance her grandfather left behind, Shen Nuo impulsively married Qin Zhan, the head of one of the capital’s most powerful families.
She became Gu Yucheng’s aunt by marriage.
“Nuo Nuo, how could you marry my uncle just to make me jealous?”
“You’re so full of yourself.”
+
By day, she was a cool, stubborn CEO.
By night, she was a bewitching seductress.
After Qin Zhan was thoroughly drained in bed, Shen Nuo got dressed and strutted out.
He stared at the ceiling. Why did it feel like she’d used him and tossed him aside?
It was just an illusion. It had to be.
How could his baby see him as nothing but a toy for satisfying her desires?
+
At first, Shen Nuo feared Qin Zhan like a tiger, instinctively terrified of him.
But after getting closer to him step by step, she began riding the tiger’s back and swaggering around triumphantly.
+
She thought their whirlwind marriage was only a temporary solution. She had no idea he’d been waiting twelve years for it.
+
Behind the long-planned exchange of lives lay a sordid secret no one knew about.
