Noble heiress from a wealthy family VS untamed, unruly boy

Violin prodigy VS heir to a wealthy family who grew up away from home

Xu Sitong used to be called Sitong.

For the nineteen years she was known as Sitong, she was the only young lady of the Si family, her grandfather's precious darling, a beautiful and pampered little princess.

That changed during her sophomore summer break, when she followed her grandfather back to the Si family estate and met an unruly man.

Beneath the blazing summer sun, shadows dappled the ground.

The man stood on a breezy woodland path in the afternoon. Sweat slid over his bobbing Adam's apple and soaked into the collar of his white shirt.

His eyes were dangerous and untamed as they swept brazenly over the spoiled, beautiful girl before him. He warned her lazily, "The young lady had better not provoke me."

Everyone said the young lady of the Si family was fair-skinned, beautiful, and refined, spoiled and willful from all the doting she received from the family.

They feared her and curried favor with her. Only Si Jinyan, looking over her pristine white dress, wanted to get it dirty.

And that's exactly what he did.

Under the scorching sun, he pinned her against the weedy riverbank and bit down hard on the corner of her mouth. "The young lady looks down on me, but now you're just as dirty as I am."

Savage, domineering, unruly, and vindictive: that was how the nineteen-year-old Si Jinyan appeared to Sitong, like a wild dog that couldn't be tamed.

It wasn't until later, after her grandfather passed away and the wild dog was brought back to the Si family, that she learned Si Jinyan was the one who truly belonged to the Si family.

She, in fact, had the surname Xu.

Beautiful, haughty socialite, the very picture of feminine allure VS a brash, country-raised stray who is actually a wealthy heir
