[Clever Little Fox Pretending to Be Good x Chaste Man in Power] [Marriage Before Love] [Nine-Year Age Gap] [A Long-Running Scheme] [Devoted Love from a Powerful Man]
At her engagement banquet, Shen Qing Li watches her fiance, Lu Huai, arrive with another woman, wearing the only keepsake her mother left behind.
She doesn't cry or make a scene. She simply smiles, plays a recording, and calls off the engagement in front of everyone.
That night, her bank cards are frozen, her home is taken away, and even her uncle drops the mask of a loving elder. With nowhere else to turn, she knocks on the door of Lu Ting Xiao, the man known as Lu Huai's uncle and the person in charge of the Lu family.
"I'll be with you. In return, protect me until I get my mother's things back. Deal?"
She thinks it's just a transaction that benefits them both. But when she wakes up the next morning, the man hands her not a check, but a prenuptial agreement.
"A mistress can be cast aside at any time. Mrs. Lu cannot."
Later, her scummy ex begs her through tears to come back, the Shen family demands her mother's manuscript, and the whole city mocks her for climbing the social ladder by relying on a man.
But Lu Ting Xiao keeps her behind him and makes her ex bow his head and call her Auntie.
Everyone thinks she went to extraordinary lengths to climb into his bed.
Only he knows that this little fox is the one he waited seven years to finally hold in his arms.
