Fu Yanhuai thought so too. Until one day, he witnessed her backstage at a jewelry fashion show, smiling as she flipped through a contract, and shutting down a diva-like female celebrity until she obediently went on stage. Fu Yanhuai: "Your usual obedience, was it all an act?" Shen Jingshu smiled innocently: "Yes, I was just acting for you." Four years of unrequited love, four years of acting obedient, she finally didn't want to act anymore. "Mr. Fu, I'm done being an obedient little sister. I have a blind date tomorrow night, please take care." Fu Yanhuai thought he would finally breathe a sigh of relief. As a result, she went on a blind date, and he showed up at the next one; she smiled at other men, and he started getting jealous; she was busy with work, and he even started researching strategies for pursuing her. Later, the aloof and dignified heir of the Fu family, who had always been indifferent to women, experienced the thrill of being pursued for the first time. Shen Jingshu blinked, smiling sweetly and obediently: "Mr. Fu, you can't use connections to pursue me." Fu Yanhuai lowered his head and smiled: "Okay, I'll wait in line." Unexpectedly, she added: "But Mr. Fu, you've never pursued anyone before, have you?" "No." "No wonder, you even booked movie tickets a week in the wrong week."

    From initial disdain to complete succumb, the story of a "playboy" chasing his wife through a "wife-chasing hell" is something only readers can truly understand! This novel was so satisfying I was practically pounding my bed. The more the female lead is tormented in the beginning, the more humble the male lead becomes in his pursuit of her later on—a classic example of "true love at first sight" slap-in-the-face literature. Xu Yao, the number one playboy in Haicheng, is incredibly adept at navigating the dating scene, surrounded by countless beauties. While his brothers are all tightly controlled by their wives, he laughs at them, vowing he would never fall for a woman. Until a simple, unsophisticated housekeeper, Tao Pandi, arrives at their home. She's not highly educated, has limited experience, and is divorced. Yet, this very woman falls for Xu Yao. Upon learning this, Xu Yao was utterly contemptuous, spewing insults and belittling Tao Pandi's affections, saying things like, "Are you out of your mind? You think I'd like you?" "You're a divorced woman, where do you get your confidence? Look in the mirror, do you even deserve me?" "Even if I, Xu Yao, am a bachelor for life, even if I jump off this cliff, I would never look at you!" These hurtful words pierced Tao Pandi's heart like knives. But who could have imagined that fortune would turn around! Later, Tao Pandi went to work on an electronics factory assembly line, transforming into the factory's most beautiful woman, surrounded by men showering her with attention. When Xu Yao found out, his eyes turned red with rage. He rushed to Tao Pandi like a madman, grabbing her wrist tightly, humbled to the point of groveling, "Pandi, I was wrong, please come home with me, okay?" "I'll pay off your debts, I'll avenge you, I'll give you my life!" "Please... Look at me one more time." The more arrogant the playboy was in the beginning, the more pathetic he became in his pursuit of his wife later. This "true fragrance law" is simply too addictive!
