Yan Li was fourteen when she learned that she had a fiancé her family had arranged for her since childhood. After secretly looking into him, she discovered that her fiancé, Jian Jiyang, was practically good for nothing besides having a decent face.
Although Jian Jiyang was two years older than her, there was nothing mature about him. What drove her most to despair was that he was also the young master of Jianglan City's largest chain of entertainment venues.
The young master not only skipped school, but spent every day hanging around his family's venues. He had every bad habit in the book, from smoking and drinking to fighting, and he had a terrible temper, cursing people's relatives after barely two sentences. While investigating him, Yan Li peeked around a corner and watched him fighting someone in the street, which terrified her. And that wasn't all: she also caught sight of a faint, jagged scar on his arm.
Yan Li had spent her whole life keeping up an act to maintain her exemplary-student image. She couldn't handle such a shock. She couldn't accept a stain like this on her impressive record, so she asked her parents to call off the engagement.
But her parents were in complete agreement: "A Li, his mother saved our lives. This is her only request."
What? She saved your lives?
So what? Can't you ask for something else?
Was she really supposed to sell herself for the sake of social status?
