[A gorgeous woman with nowhere left to turn x an aloof beauty who seems ascetic on the surface]
[Using seduction to climb the ranks, a powerful man lowering his head for love, the aloof beauty falling from her pedestal, both leads' first relationship, stealing someone's love, doting exclusively on her, sweet romance, seven-year age gap]
Qi Ruocheng had been a good girl for twenty-two years, until her family begged her to find a way to scrape together three million. As a recent college graduate, how could she possibly get that much money in such a short time...
Her roommate urged her to make the most of what she had. There was nothing wrong with taking a shortcut. But with her self-respect, how could she bring herself to do it?
Then she met Lu Xunyan...
The first thing Qi Ruocheng noticed about Lu Xunyan was the ring on his hand. The second was her own reflection in his eyes. If she had to find a rich boyfriend, why couldn't it be him...
After he treated her gently time and again, Qi Ruocheng grew greedy. Why couldn't she be the only person in his eyes, forever?
She hated the moon for hanging high above, shining on everyone but her.
She had been obedient for twenty-two years. It was time to rebel for once...

According to Lu Xunyan's personal creed, marriage was nothing more than a transaction in which both sides exchanged bargaining chips. As the head of the Lu Group, he was decisive and ruthless, accustomed to maximizing every advantage. So when the well-matched Zhou family offered an alliance through marriage, he agreed without a second thought.
That was until he met Qi Ruocheng.
Later, the young woman carefully plotted her every move and clumsily tested him, all for the sake of her little "ulterior motive."
How could that awkward disguise possibly escape his notice?
"What are you trying to trick me out of? Money, or my heart? You can have both, as long as it's you."
