A well-behaved, timid, greedy foodie heroine x a gentle, mature daddy who seems like a gentleman but is actually intensely controlling
Lu Xi'ai, who was put down by her stepsister from a young age, timidly extends her little claws, planning to get a little revenge.
She sets her sights on her stepsister's arranged-marriage partner, Sui Siyan. His family wields unfathomable power and he holds an exalted position, yet he himself is mild-mannered, refined, and elegant.
Everyone else is so afraid of him that they keep their distance, but she boldly sticks close to him.
Just as she wanted, the two of them finally get involved.
Nobody knows that, although she's well-behaved at school, she gets picked up every day and goes home to spend passionate nights with a mature man.
Nobody knows that a man who seems untouchable in public will rack his brains more over coaxing her to drink a bowl of nourishing soup than over signing a trillion-yuan contract.
But little by little, Lu Xi'ai realizes something is wrong.
When she gets home late, she gets a handprint on her bottom.
When she talks to other boys, one of them gets expelled the next day.
It isn't until her stepsister's wedding goes ahead as planned and she sees that her brother-in-law's surname is Sui that she realizes she's been pursuing the wrong man.
Damn it!
Afraid that the truth will come out, Lu Xi'ai resolves to run home in the middle of the night.
Back home, she becomes the same useless second daughter again and follows the family's arrangements to go on a matchmaking date with a man.
But just as she sits down, a tall man surrounded by bodyguards interrupts them.
Sui Siyan calmly and elegantly takes off his black leather gloves. His cool, aloof gaze looks down at her blind date as he says, "You're coveting my wife like this. Tell me, how much nerve do you think you have to go against me, hmm?"
Beneath his casual tone lies a restrained, bloodless killing intent.
The moment he finishes speaking, the other man is already so terrified that he wets himself and flees.
Even Lu Xi'ai's father, who rushes over after hearing the news, acts obsequiously.
Only then does Lu Xi'ai understand what kind of person she has provoked: cold-blooded and ruthless, arrogant and rude, distant and unfeeling.
Sure enough.
Sui Siyan turns to Lu Xi'ai and says, "And you, sweetie?"
A soaked sofa, lips rubbed raw.
Lu Xi'ai is taken back to the hotel, where she spends the whole night with an aching back and waist, thinking this is her punishment.
But when she wakes up, she sees a ten-carat diamond ring on her ring finger, and the man behind her gently warns her, "Your punishment is to stay by my side for the rest of your life and never leave again."
"And if you try again, I'll have a pair of silver handcuffs made just for you."
Lu Xi'ai: How is this punishment for me? You're rewarding yourself, you big jerk!
Theme: Xi'ai, Xi'ai, so adorable and sweet!
