[Cunning Sweetheart vs. Aloof Young Lord | Feigned Vulnerability vs. Feigned Coldness]
Play the pig to eat the tiger + simmering romantic tension + sweet romance + mutual first love
Jiang Tang transmigrated. To avoid being married off at the whim of her stepmother, she decided to go to the capital under the pretext of visiting relatives and catch herself a big fish.
He had to be handsome, come from a wealthy family, and, most importantly, wield enough power to protect her.
Xie Chengyan, heir to the Marquis of Yongning, met every one of her standards perfectly.
People said the young lord was deep-minded and cold, and never showed interest in women.
Jiang Tang refused to believe it. She was determined to reel in this big fish.
On a dark and windy night, she would arrange a chance encounter, then stumble into him, pretending to lose her footing.
Wasn't he supposed to have no interest in women?
She could clearly feel that the man's hand didn't want to let go.
She stayed by his side every day, calling him Cousin and occasionally putting on a shy expression.
His usually cold, hard heart was suddenly cracked wide open by this soft little girl.
"Xie Chengyan is the man I love."
"Cousin, Tangtang likes you so, so much."
Faced with her passionate confessions and bold advances, her poker-faced cousin was constantly on the verge of losing control.
She'd had enough of holding back. Miss Jiang was going fishing: if he didn't take the bait, she'd make sure he did.
He'd had enough of holding back too. He wanted her, and no one else was allowed to covet her.
