    "Both are virgins/The second male lead's pursuit of his wife is a nightmare/The male lead is unwavering/Happy Ending" "A sensitive, love-starved little girl X a gentle, cunning man who steals her love" When Song Jingyu was at her wit's end, Xu Zerui pulled her out of hell. From then on, Song Jingyu regarded him as the only light shining into her dark life. Until one day, she heard him say, "If you're going to play with women, you have to play with someone like Song Jingyu. Girls from poor families all dream of being Cinderella. Give them a little sweetness and they'll give you their life." Song Jingyu finally woke up and stopped dreaming of love. Xu Zerui never expected that Song Jingyu could stop loving him so easily. He frantically went to her door, only to be met by a man whose every feature exuded arrogance and unruliness. Ying Xingzhou, disheveled and with a bite mark on his Adam's apple, laughed smugly: "Your aunt doesn't have time, little nephew." Song Jingyu had no idea how she had gotten involved with Ying Xingzhou. He was the crown prince of the capital, Xu Zerui's uncle, a scoundrel who only liked other men's girlfriends. Song Jingyu tried to hide, but she couldn't escape his inescapable net. "Why are you running?" Ying Xingzhou pinned her against the wall, kissing her fiercely: "Isn't being my woman good enough?" Song Jingyu never knew that he had been coveting her for longer than she had known him.
