-

Zhao Xingyi was showered with affection. Before she was even born, she already had a trillion-yuan trust fund and a building named after her, not to mention an astonishing collection of precious jewelry.

She thought she would live carefree forever, but when she turned sixteen, her life took a dramatic turn:

She was diagnosed with color blindness, despite her love of art;

The older brother she had secretly loved for years was getting engaged;

And she provoked a devil who was a law unto himself.

Before Lin Jinting’s engagement banquet began, she put aside all her pride and confessed her feelings to him, only to get the reply: “Crystal, we can only be siblings.”

Heartbroken, she lost her footing and fell into the pool. Just as she was on the verge of drowning, a man came to her rescue. She was about to thank him when he smirked and sneered, “You’re acting like your life is over just because you got dumped. Are you living in the Victorian era?”

She remembered his eyes, an incredibly light shade of gray, even paler than hers. One in a million, they were like a shooting star that had fallen into her heart.

Only later did she learn that he was Huo Jiayi, the only son of the Huo family, famous throughout Macau.

Zhao Xingyi hated Huo Jiayi.

He was arrogant, self-important, and unfeeling, and he was always at odds with Lin Jinting.

But somehow, every time she was feeling down, Huo Jiayi was the one by her side.

Eventually, gossip about the two of them spread through their circle, and Lin Jinting heard it too.

Holding a glass of champagne, she met Lin Jinting’s gaze across the crowd and felt inexplicably guilty.

She was about to go over and explain when the man beside her put an arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

Huo Jiayi leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Why don’t you act out a little scene with me and see whether he really cares about you?”

Later on,

Lin Jinting, who had always followed the rules, called off his engagement and went to Paris to find her, only to find Huo Jiayi there.

For once, he lost his composure and demanded, “From the start, you never meant for the act to become real. You wanted to make her yours, didn’t you?”

Huo Jiayi merely smiled, still looking completely at ease.

“Mr. Lin, I’m bolder than you, and I’m more willing to play the game. More importantly, Zhao Xingyi has always been the only one I choose.”
