However, when she mustered the courage to approach, he coldly reminded her, "Chao He, this is overstepping boundaries." Heartbroken, she left, and three years passed. When they met again, she respectfully called him "Mr. Song," gentle and composed, but unwilling to look at him even once more. When a friend asked about her feelings for Song Yiting, she smiled gently and serenely, "I was young and naive, that's not what love is." But when her missing little finger came into his view, Song Yiting's heart ached, and he finally understood what he had missed.

His first marriage was purely for financial reasons, but he later loses control and falls in love, barely managing to ask, "Do you regret marrying me?" A battle of wits between two powerful figures 👉 The female lead calmly manages her marriage vs. The male lead gradually falls for her, from "mutual respect" to "possessive control."

    Arranged marriage to love × A special connection × A wealthy heiress × Lu Hanzhou, a cold-faced tycoon in the business world, never lacks female companions, yet no one can ever truly touch his heart. Until a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Su Xiaoqing, who lives abroad, appears, stirring subtle ripples in his heart. Su Xiaoqing, the heiress of the Su family, urgently summoned back to the country by relatives, re-enters his world with her sharp tongue and shrewdness. She is the daughter of a family friend with whom he has been at odds since childhood, and also his inescapable betrothal. Under the will of their families, this pair of sworn enemies, who argue every time they meet, are forced into marriage. On their wedding night, Lu Hanzhou sneers, "Don't even think about interfering in my affairs." Su Xiaoqing retorts, "Who cares about picking up someone else's trash?" However, in the clashes of their daily interactions, and in the open and covert battles of the business world, Lu Hanzhou gradually discovers—those years of lingering among women were merely a search for that radiant figure from his memories. When the controversy surrounding the stand-in subsided, he realized with a start that the unforgettable mark in his heart had always belonged to his childhood sweetheart, who had always been his adversary. "I've been searching for your shadow for so many years," he said, pinning her against the wall, his voice hoarse, "but it turns out the real you has always been waiting for me to turn back."
