(Mutual firsts, one-on-one romance + heroine falls for him after desire + hero's secret crush comes true + four-year age gap)
[Bright, bold beauty X scheming, calculating tycoon]
*
Lu Li, the sole heir to the Lu Group of Zijingshi, is twenty-four years old, brilliant and beautiful, and a cherished daughter of heaven in everyone's eyes.
Her stepfather uses her critically ill grandfather to force her to go on a blind date. But the man turns out to be a scumbag who only wants to sleep with her and even plans to take photos to blackmail her.
Lu Li would rather die than give in. She escapes the private room and hides in an elevator.
She senses something is wrong with her body, but forces herself through the discomfort, gets out of the elevator, and pushes open a door.
Inside, she encounters Ye Chen, who has also been drugged.
Ye Chen is the second young master of the Ye family and the second-in-command of the Ye Group. He is one of the men most sought after by the daughters of wealthy families.
The two are like tinder meeting a flame, ready to ignite at the slightest touch.
Lu Li cries out inwardly: I just escaped the wolf's den, only to fall into the tiger's jaws.
Afterward, Ye Chen proposes that they marry, but Lu Li refuses.
When she gets home, she is mocked by her own sister-in-law: "Nobody wants you."

Ye Chen takes a prepared agreement to the hospital to see Lu Li.
"It's only a marriage alliance. What are you afraid of?"
Lu Li, who usually can't stand being provoked, takes the bait: "It's only a marriage alliance. What am I afraid of?"
After they get their marriage certificates, Lu Li gradually realizes that something is off about Ye Chen.
Why is this man impossible to satisfy, and why is he so clingy?
One day, Ye Chen pins Lu Li down on the bed again.
"A Li, didn't you say you'd marry me if I signed an agreement back then?"
Lu Li braces herself weakly against the wall.
"That bastard actually lied to me."
