Chu Rao was raised in the countryside for over a decade. When she was brought back to the capital, she became the famous Second Miss of the Chu family overnight.
But this second young lady was unlike anyone else. While her older sister fussed over luxury goods, she often carried a kitchen cleaver and was good at everything from slaughtering chickens to butchering sheep.
One day, her family told her she had to marry an ugly old man in her sister's place. Once the old man passed away, she would immediately inherit a vast fortune.
On her wedding night, the old man was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a handsome young man was lying on her wedding bed, wrapped in a bathrobe.
Chu Rao held her cleaver to his neck. "Th-this is a last burst of life before death?"
The man lifted her chin. "Look closely. I'm your man."
There was a rumor in the capital that Gu Heng, the head of the Gu Group, was old and ugly. No one had ever seen his real face, but tales of his romantic exploits had spread all over the city.
Everyone said Gu Heng had married yet again, and that his new bride was none other than the Second Miss of the Chu family.
A young woman in her prime paired with an old man on his deathbed: this May-December romance was one-sided, with the man too weak to do anything about it.
One day, paparazzi photographed Chu Rao entering and leaving a hotel with a handsome man. They were so intimate, practically inseparable.
Everyone said, "It's over. He's definitely wearing the green hat now. She's trying to kill Gu Heng off so she can inherit his fortune sooner."
The Gu Group held a press conference, and the handsome man showed up too. Some said Chu Rao was determined to make her lover her husband. But then the man took the stage and said, "I'm Gu Heng. Let me clear this up: Chu Rao has always been, and always will be, the rightful heir to my estate."
Tip: Marriage first, love later! Rest assured, both leads are each other's first and only, with nothing improper.
