    [Arranged Marriage, Love at First Sight × A Cinnabar Mole × A Wealthy Heiress × A Domineering CEO] Lu Hanzhou, a cold-faced tycoon in the business world, is never short of 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, has been urgently summoned back to the country by relatives and friends, bringing with her sharp tongue and shrewdness as she re-enters his world. 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."
