Who's Better at Putting on an Act?

[Next novel: Back to My College Days with the Possessive CEO. A little ray of sunshine vs. a world-weary man in power. The CEO gets down on one knee and begs you to add it to your favorites. 333] *The second male lead wins her heart / He has been plotting for a long time / Eight-year age gap / Another little sweet treat Fake socialite, real badass vs. fake playboy, real romantic *Si Yi is the only daughter of the Si family, one of Yicheng's most prominent heiresses, raised in luxury. Not only is she beautiful, but her manners, poise, intelligence, and abilities make her the model socialite. If there's one regret that isn't really a regret, it's that someone stole her childhood sweetheart, her ex-boyfriend. Before the sour grapes could even celebrate, she had already moved on seamlessly and started dating her ex's maternal uncle. And not just anyone, either: he's Jiang Province's longtime number-one eligible bachelor. Now the sour grapes are even more jealous. But the truth is... In a corner away from prying eyes, Si Yi dropped her gentle, gracious socialite mask, rubbed her wrist, and beat up the woman who'd come to provoke her, along with her trembling ex-boyfriend. Hearing footsteps approach, she quickly stopped. When she saw who had arrived, Si Yi's eyes glimmered. She went over and hooked her arm through the man's. Her ferocious expression turned to a sweet smile. "Let me introduce you. This is my fiance, Jin Qingzhou. Oh, I almost forgot. Given our family ties, I suppose you two should call me Auntie?" The battered couple, their faces bruised and swollen: ??!!... *Jin Qingzhou, the richest man in Jiang Province, had a ruthless way of doing things and had brought his family business to its peak. Aloof and cold, he went through lovers like water, and none of them lasted a month. The first time he saw that fierce woman was when he was delivering something to his nephew, who was in college. The petite, baby-faced woman beat up a group of thugs without holding back. As it turned out, rumors couldn't be trusted. Jin Qingzhou found her quite interesting, and watched her for a long time from his dimly lit car. From then on, he couldn't get her out of his mind... When he learned that his nephew had fallen for someone else, Jin Qingzhou smiled without shame and drained his glass. It was time for him to make his move. He hadn't expected the woman to be so receptive, taking the initiative to link herself to him. See? They were clearly destined for each other. Feeling the woman's subtle attempts to win him over and get him to play along, Jin Qingzhou's lips curved. He put his arm around her shoulders, indulging her. "You're right, Yi Yi. Remember to respect your elders from now on." *Si Yi thought the rumors were wrong. Where was the playboy who supposedly never kept a woman for more than a month? More importantly, if they didn't break up soon, she'd never be able to keep up her righteous image as someone who punished evildoers on behalf of Heaven! Two months later, the scoundrel finally showed up in a new scandal. Si Yi tossed her phone aside. Instead of taking the initiative to beat him up, she... ran away. She knew it. A scumbag changing his ways was about as likely as a sow climbing a tree. In a dark alley late at night, a hand clamped around her waist. The man who had searched for her for so long looked worn and weathered, but his eyes were frighteningly fierce. "Si Yi, you've really outdone yourself." "Jin Qingzhou, the devoted-lover act doesn't suit you." "For five years, it has always been you." "Ha, I knew you had a crush on me! You should have said so sooner!" "..." When it came to love, she, Yicheng's top socialite, absolutely could not lose! The onlookers who learned of their engagement: Tsk, it had to be a model socialite like Si Yi. Who else could tame someone like Jin Qingzhou? [A brainless sweet romance. Enjoy! Blurb written 2025.01.22 22:32] Theme: When the false seems true, and the true seems false.
