What everyone thinks of Lan Xi:
Beautiful, yes, but utterly soulless;
Mild-tempered, but bland and boring;
Apart from being ridiculously rich, she has almost nothing going for her.
One day, Lan Xi posted on her Moments: My fiance just broke off our engagement QAQ
Her friends and family said: Not surprised at all!
Lan Xi then posted a job ad on some app: Seeking a handsome young man, under 30 and over 20, with an unfiltered photo and a face rated at least 6/10, over 175 cm tall. Pay negotiable. Overnight stay, just chat under the covers (*?▽?*).
Everyone: Oh, so she's looking for a no-strings hookup.

The rich second-generation heir Pei Feng had his allowance cut off by his older brother after getting into too much trouble. Desperate for money, he asked a friend to help him find a job and eagerly decided to take the offer.
He assumed the rich woman would be fat and ugly. Since she only wanted someone to talk to and not a bedmate, he figured he might as well give it a try.
But his cold, strict older brother, Pei Leng, caught him.
Pei Leng went to the meeting himself. He wanted to see which shameless woman dared to seduce his little brother.
By his usual standards, he would surely toss out a check contemptuously and say coldly, "Stay away from my brother from now on."
Or else, she'd get a lawyer's letter!
But when he walked in, there was no fat, vulgar woman in sight.
She wore a pale purple sweater and a white gauzy skirt, sitting with her knees drawn up by the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought. The faint sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains and fell across her clear, flawless face.
She looked so petite... it made him want to protect her.

Later,
Pei Leng: "I've transferred 150,000 yuan to your account for living expenses. You don't need to take on part-time work anymore."
Pei Feng tried to reason with him: "Bro, can you stop stealing my gigs? Miss Lan booked me..."
Note: The male lead is the fiance who broke off the engagement, and now has to win her back.
A domineering, decisive capitalist male lead with impossibly high standards × a sweet-looking, easily fooled on the surface but scheming, revenge-minded black-lotus female lead
