| Powerful and influential Grand Princess x impoverished, long-suffering actress | The powerful one bows her head | The price of treating love as a game |
Entertainment headline: “Cen Jue, Grand Princess of the Cen Group, has a mysterious woman by her side. They’re seen together everywhere, and their relationship seems ambiguous.”
Gossip report: “Actress Lu He is rumored to have a new sugar daddy behind her, and her career is taking off. She responds, ‘We’re just friends.’”
When the two are finally outed, Cen Jue smiles faintly in front of the cameras.
“Miss Lu used to be my caretaker. Being able to meet again now must be fate.”
Standing beside her, Lu He lowers her eyes and smiles softly at those words.

No one knows...
Six years ago, Cen Jue returned to the old house her grandmother had left her to recuperate from a leg injury.
Eighteen-year-old Lu He had gotten into university, but her admission letter was torn up, and she was kicked out of her home to earn money.
Cen Jue was the one who reached out to Lu He, smiling as she said, “Take care of me for two months, and I’ll pay for your education.”
She was the one who, on a night when Lu He woke from a nightmare, wheeled herself to her bedside and casually wiped away her tears.
“What are you crying for? As long as I’m here, no one will dare touch you.”
She was also the one who, on a drunken night, held Lu He’s chin and kissed her flirtatiously.
“Let big sister teach you what grown-up fun is like.”
Lu He thought that was love.
Until Cen Jue’s leg healed. She casually left a bank card behind and walked away with a smile.
“It was just for fun. Why take it seriously?”
-
Everyone thought this was just another diversion for the Grand Princess.
But this time, they were all wrong. Cen Jue was completely smitten, and the best opportunities flowed into Lu He’s hands: luxury brand endorsements, leading roles in major productions, and a renowned agent.
She even drove for more than twenty hours, weary from the journey, to visit Lu He on location in the mountains, all just to ask one question:
“That kissing scene... could you not film it?”
-
Later, Cen Jue went mad trying to claim Lu He as her own, even buying out an entire page of advertising for her.
On the day she proposed, the whole city watched live.
Cen Jue knelt on one knee, the ring sparkling brilliantly on camera. “Lu He, marry me.”
Lu He looked down at her and smiled.
Her smile was every bit as carefree as Cen Jue’s had been when she left six years ago.
“It was just for fun. Why take it seriously?”
-
“Cen Jue had never bowed her head in her life, until the heart she had thrown away with her own hands grew into a light she could never hope to reach.”
“Life is still long. We can take our time playing.”
Theme: Love is precious. Don’t toy with other people’s feelings.
