Fake playboy with a strong controlling streak gong VS ruthless, vengeful beauty shou

The scandal of the year in the upper circles of Jing City: Xie Anci, the notorious adopted "daughter" of the Lu family who caused trouble at every turn, jumped into the sea on her seventeenth birthday.

Some said she was definitely dead, her body eaten by deep-sea fish until not a scrap was left.

A few others said she was still alive, but had been rescued and disfigured, and was too ashamed to show her face again.

Whether she was dead or alive, everyone in their circle applauded, saying that at least one menace had finally been put out of commission.

Some people also pitied Xie Anci, saying she never should have fallen in love with Lu Zhaoxun.

Lu Zhaoxun, the eldest young master of the Lu family, was said to be cold-blooded and good for nothing. But his handsome looks attracted one wealthy socialite after another, and he himself had no standards when it came to women, partying every night and leaving behind countless romantic entanglements.

For a man like that, Xie Anci had been willing to live or die, making a scene everywhere she went and becoming the laughingstock of the whole city. In the end, she even lost her life.

Five years later, Xie Anci, who had died, came back.

Everyone said Lu Zhaoxun would be the next head of the Lu family.

The strongest evidence was that the current head, Lu Haiming, had assigned him his most capable assistant.

Lu Zhaoxun scoffed at the idea. His grandfather had clearly sent him a surveillance device.

What was that special assistant's name again? Xie Anci?

He vaguely remembered this person. They seemed to be an orphan the family had once adopted, quiet and not much of a talker, like a mute shadow.

But when he saw Xie Anci standing before him in a sexy short skirt, deliberately showing off a plunging neckline, Lu Zhaoxun's eyelid twitched. Something was off.

Much later, one night in the office, the beautiful young man forced him down into his executive chair and grabbed his tie, demanding, "When did you figure out I wasn't a woman?"

Lu Zhaoxun's head tilted back slightly as the young man tugged his tie. He gazed at that beautiful face, his Adam's apple bobbing as he smiled slowly.

"You tell me."
