Jing Zhi was poor in her childhood, but had black hair, snow-white skin, and a voluptuous figure. At twenty-one, she became a major internet celebrity, known by fans as "Jiangnan Daji," and her home was filled with antiques. However, few 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." Before she could even cause trouble, the man immediately dealt with the scheming woman who claimed to be his "first love." Fu Jingci—the ninth-ranked man in the Fu family, one of the four great hereditary noble families—is cold, arrogant, and ruthless, the true power behind the Fu family. One day, the young girl, brimming with confidence, like a charming and proud little fox, walked up to the man, pouting and rubbing her eyes: "Chengce... I want to sleep." Holding his breath, the man tossed his cigar into the ashtray, his gaze dark and unfathomable as he looked at her.

In this solemn and sacred place, the woman was far removed from the mortal world, while the man gazed at the ground, bowing three times and burning incense devoutly.

    Reader note

    The day my sugar daddy/beauty returned to the country, I was vomiting uncontrollably by the toilet. He was silent for a long time, then looked guilty: "As you can see, she's pregnant. I can't abandon her and the baby." I clutched my 30 million breakup fee, frantically waving my hands: "No, no, no! I just ate too many snacks and my stomach hurt, that's why I threw up! Please don't take responsibility for me!" With that, I grabbed my card and ran, disappearing overnight. Three months later, he waited outside my hometown, holding a report in one hand and staring intently at my round belly with the other, gritting his teeth: "Have the snacks in your belly come to life? They've even grown into the shape of a fetus?"
