If not for that paternity test, Ruan Tian would still be the treasured daughter of the Ruan family, cherished by everyone at home and married to her refined and gentle fiance, Shen Lingfeng. She would have lived a peaceful life.
But one day, the Ruan family's long-lost biological daughter returned, turning Ruan Tian's life upside down. She became an awkward presence in the Ruan household.
She fell from the clouds to the depths, enduring everyone's ridicule. The biological daughter did everything she could to drive her out, and the man she loved suddenly changed his attitude and refused to acknowledge her.
Her old friends turned their backs on her, and even her real family couldn't stand her.
With nowhere to go, Ruan Tian trusted the wrong person and was drugged and sent to the room of Shen Tingdong, head of the Shen family.
He was the uncle of the man she had once loved. Mysterious and ruthless, he was someone even the Ruan family feared.
The man's lips pressed into a thin line, his gaze cool and indifferent. Terrified, Ruan Tian wept inconsolably.
The man turned to leave. Afraid of being abandoned again, Ruan Tian hurriedly got up, grabbed his sleeve, and cried, "Don't go."
He promised her a place to stay. She agreed to be his companion and fend off all the women who pursued him.
Only much later did she learn that the older man had been coveting her for a long time. He had gradually made his move, like a frog slowly boiling in water, until she fell into his tenderness.
Extra Scene:
Everyone noticed that the president of Shen Group had changed. One day he came to work carrying a pink lunchbox, the next he showed up with a bouquet. He arrived later and left earlier, the complete opposite of the workaholic he used to be.
The secretary asked cautiously, "Boss, Miss Lin Man has invited you out today..."
Shen Tingdong said coldly, "Turn them all down. Don't put these things on my schedule from now on."
The secretary asked hesitantly, "Boss, are... are you all right? There's a tiger at home. How come you're coming home early every day...?"
Shen Tingdong gave him a cold look. "There's no tiger. I've got a cat, though. It bites, and it's quite fierce."
The secretary was 10,086 times more confused. His inner monologue: Wasn't the boss allergic to cat fur? (= ̄ω ̄=)
Extra Scene 2:
During a news interview, someone asked Shen Tingdong, "I hear you've recently got a cat with a bad temper. What breed is it? How can it be so fierce?"
Shen Tingdong raised an eyebrow. "Well, the cat is actually very sweet."
Watching the impeccably dressed man on the TV screen, Ruan Tian angrily gave the back of his hand a sharp little bite and snapped, "You're ruining my reputation! I'm not fierce! You know that!"
Shen Tingdong's usually stern expression softened. He gently stroked his cat's head and coaxed her, "I was wrong. I won't do it again."
Little Kitty Ruan: "I don't believe you. You'll have to prove it to me."
Shen Tingdong looked at the lovely girl in his arms. Ignoring her struggles, he carried her into the bedroom and said in a low voice, "All right, sweetheart. I'll prove it to you now."
