Lu Lanxi was born into a merchant family but raised from childhood like a noble heiress. Her father always told her that she was betrothed to the Qin family as a child. Lu Lanxi didn’t care.

But after seeing him get hurt for her, and seeing the way he held back his feelings for fear of hurting her, she began to think that perhaps he wasn’t so bad after all. *Marriage first, love later* A shrewd, high-IQ woman versus an inexperienced, obedient puppy Both are each other’s first, happy ending She can’t hurt a fly; he’s short on brains.
