* [Complete] Unlucky, upright female student studying abroad x mixed-race, roguish master forger

Not long after arriving in the United States to study, Shen Qing was targeted.

She was only trying to help someone with directions, but was forced to inhale a sedative and lost consciousness completely.

When she woke up, Shen Qing realized she had been kidnapped and was about to fall into an abyss of sin.

Etienne Kane is a highly intelligent master forger with countless names and identities. He's a smooth talker, especially renowned in the art and finance worlds.

For various reasons, he disguised himself as a valet helping park cars and drove off in a luxury car.

But when Etienne opened the trunk, he couldn't help frowning.

Because... he saw a large, wriggling black bag making muffled whimpering sounds.

Etienne didn't want to make any new enemies just yet, so he decided to return the car.

Before doing so, curiosity got the better of him, and he unzipped the bag to take a look.

That one glance, however, changed the fates of two people who had never crossed paths before.

[Please note]

Weibo: @AuthorJieda. Next book: My Boyfriend for Several Days

1. Set in 1995. The heroine is genuinely upright, kind, and innocent. The hero is the complete opposite.

2. One-on-one, both are virgins. The hero usually uses disguises, but he's actually very handsome.

3. The hero is a little psychologically unwell, so he [keeps himself pure].

4. The heroine doesn't make it to the embassy early on, not because she's stupid, but because the author put many obstacles in her way.

5. Please don't conflate this story with the real world or use it to judge the author's values. Also, don't develop an unwarranted rosy view of other countries because of it.
