Pretending to Be Sincere

One day, Young Master Gu took a liking to a girl. His dissolute friends were astonished to discover that the hedonistic Young Master Gu had actually turned over a new leaf?! He was even keeping himself pure for her! Even more shocking, the girl wasn't interested in Young Master Gu at all, and she had a tendency to get violent with him! Everyone sighed, "What is love? It's when one thing brings another to heel." Gu Junluo, however, was enjoying every minute of it, and poured all his effort into treating Han Sijin well, even though she never seemed to take him seriously. Until one day, he uncovered her secret. Only then did he learn that every hint of affection she had shown him was an act. They were two parallel lines that had never crossed, until a bet brought them together, and that same bet drove them apart. When they met again, she had changed from the inside out into a different person. He didn't recognize her. This time, who will win their battle of love and bring the other to heel? [Bonus Scene] Han Sijin's best friend kept urging her: "Gu Junluo is a great catch, and he's completely devoted to you. If you ask me, you should just say yes." Han Sijin shrugged. "You can have that clingy pest, stuck to me like a bandage. He's a downright nuisance sent from heaven!" Her friend: "Why do I feel like you're showing off your relationship?" Gu Junluo's buddies were baffled. "What kind of spell did Han Sijin put on you? How did you become such a model boyfriend?" Gu Junluo cupped his face in his hands, eyes sparkling. "Our Xiao Jin is smart, beautiful, kind, generous, and adorable. She's simply my goddess..." His buddy: "All right, all right. Keep it short." Gu Junluo grinned. "I just like her. I like her a lot."
