[Ambitious schemer x powerful figure in the capital's elite circle]
[Two Alphas in a battle of wills | From pretense to true feelings | Both fall for each other]
1.
Everyone in high society laughed at Ning Jin for overestimating herself. The country girl who'd grown up in a remote mountain village dreamed of reaching the very top of their world.
Everyone knew that Gu Yanci, head of the Gu family, was cold and ruthless, the most untouchable power player in the capital.
And Ning Jin was nothing more than a country girl from the Ning family who had been switched at birth, then brought back and ignored.
Until the day a torrential rain poured down and she fell to the ground in a sorry heap. The obedient woman had clear eyes that looked straight into Gu Yanci's heart.
He tilted his umbrella toward her and said coolly, "Why bother?"
2.
A little indulgence, and the woman wrapped around him like a creeping vine, clinging tighter and tighter.
Gu Yanci grew increasingly annoyed. When Ning Jin hinted that she would betray the Ning family for his sake, he decided to teach her a lesson and put an end to her hopes once and for all.
Instead, Ning Jin used his own scheme to make a fortune.
The bewitching woman hooked an arm around his neck. "Mr. Gu, all's fair in business."
She was nothing like the sweet, guileless woman she usually pretended to be.
Using herself as bait, she lured him into her trap.
Gu Yanci realized that Ning Jin's "admiration" was nothing but a ploy to draw him in.
When the absurd act was over, it turned out he was the only one who had taken it seriously.
He lifted her chin, the tension in his lips betraying his feelings. "Ning Jin, I'll make you regret this."
3.
Gu Yanci thought he must be crazy. Instead of looking after projects worth tens of billions, he was competing with Ning Jin for every business opportunity she had, no matter the cost.
But Ning Jin never came crawling back. The usually dignified and aloof man was the first to lose control.
On a rainy night just like before, he looked at the woman sitting on the ground before him. Unable to bear seeing her in such a sorry state, he gritted his teeth and asked hoarsely, "Ning Jin, is it really so hard to beg me?"
/Someone will always love the pride beneath your sharp mind, and cannot bear to see you walk alone/
