A seemingly villainous, two-faced, refined scoundrel in a suit × a beauty like fine liquor
[1]
The Liang and Xie families arrange a marriage, but Liang Huaying's fiance, Xie Tu, suddenly dies. The head of the Xie family, her former fiance's older brother, returns to Hongcheng to take charge.
At the funeral, someone points to the impeccably dressed man standing before the cameras and microphones, leaning on a silver cane, and tells her, "The police say he's a suspect."
From a distance, she watches him hobble slightly with his cane, still every inch the refined gentleman. Now he's an untouchable power broker, nothing like the vicious, untamed wolf who once fought in an underground ring three years ago.
She once nearly became his woman. Now she has almost become his younger brother's wife.
When she tests him, he smiles faintly and says, "Miss Liang, you've mistaken me for someone else."
With a click, Liang Huaying fastens his belt again. "Then I'll assume the man who once kissed me is dead."

"According to our information, you not only have a property dispute with your younger brother, but you're also romantically involved with his fiancee."
"Officer, I'm afraid I must correct you." Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, the man's gaze is indifferent, but he smiles with impeccable courtesy. "She's my former fiancee. And she'll soon be my wife."
The Liang and Xie families arranged a marriage, but no one said it had to be Xie Tu.
That day, Liang Huaying received two pieces of news: Xie Li was no longer a criminal suspect, and she had to marry him.
"Congratulations," she said coldly. "But I refuse."
He replied to both statements in an unhurried, pitying tone. "Too bad. I'm no good man either."
