    Super good! [Drooling] *Top-tier wealthy family in Beijing, King Zhou-like man X Popular actress who became famous for intangible cultural heritage and beauty* Noble and affectionate Chinese-style domineering CEO X Pure and charming proud beauty from Jiangnan [10-year age gap, sugar daddy relationship, both are virgins, sweet romance, intangible cultural heritage, younger brother, Beijing circle ensemble] Jing Zhi was poor in her childhood, but she had black hair, fair skin, and a plump and slender figure. At the age of twenty-one, she became a big internet celebrity, appearing on TV shows and entering the entertainment industry, making a name for herself. Fans called her "Jiangnan Daji", dressed in brocade and jade, served by servants, and her house was full of antiques, high-end luxury goods, and jade jewelry. However, few people knew that this immense wealth was given to her by the noble and arrogant Ninth Master of the Fu family in Jingluo. At first, those in the know thought she was a substitute for Ninth Master Fu's "first love". Who knew that before she could make a fuss, the man immediately dealt with the green tea girl who claimed to be his "first love". He doted on her, and even let her play with the Buddhist beads on his wrist. When spoiled and pampered, she would cry and slap the man, but at night, the two would be inseparable again, whispering sweet nothings. Fu Jingci—the ninth-ranked man in the Fu family, one of the four great hereditary noble families—was cold, arrogant, and ruthless, the true power behind the Fu family. Rumor had it that he held absolute power, and his private life remained a mystery. But one day, the young girl, fearless and emboldened, like a charming and proud little fox, walked up to the man, pouting and rubbing her eyes: "Chengce... I want to sleep." On the other end of the phone, the young masters and ladies instantly fell silent. These days, few people were qualified to call him Chengce. He silently threw Wang Jia's cigar into the ashtray, his gaze dark and deep as he looked at her. A few seconds later, he pulled her close, "Want to sleep in my arms for a while? Hmm?"
