Blurb 1:

That year, Lu Xi cruelly abandoned her first love, Gu Huaiyuan, who came from an ordinary background, and left town.

The year after they broke up, a major event took place in City A.

Gu Huaiyuan, heir to the Gu family's business empire, stood before the cameras with sharp brows and bright eyes, speaking with poise. Overnight, his immense fortune, handsome face, and composed demeanor made him City A's most eligible bachelor.

Five years later, Lu Xi returned to City A as an entrepreneur. Alone and struggling, she was in a sorry state every day.

Her company was in crisis, and through a stroke of luck, she got an invitation to a Gu family banquet.

On a chilly night, she stood in the shadows in a corner and saw him surrounded by people at the center of the room.

He was just as devastatingly handsome as before, but he was no longer the smiling young man she remembered.

A beautiful, elegant girl rested in his arms. They were a dazzling couple, the center of attention and the brightest stars in the room that night.

A well-meaning friend dragged her over to introduce herself to the big shot. She parted her red lips and said respectfully, "Mr. Gu, I'm new here. I hope you'll show me the ropes."

His gaze was calm and cold as he turned to his assistant. "Do I look like I have nothing better to do than show just anyone the ropes?"

That night, she bathed her daughter.

In a babyish voice, her daughter asked, "Mommy, if Daddy isn't with us, who is he with?"

She paused, then smiled and said, "He's with a princess."

Content warnings:

A melodramatic, old-school romance. The female lead has a rough time early on, with angst and plenty of melodrama. If that's not your thing, read with caution, sweetie!!!

P.S. The male and female leads are each other's only partners, from beginning to end.

Everyone at the university knew Fu Xizhou. He was top-tier in every respect, and someone as outstanding and dazzling as him could win over girls with ease.

Ming Sheng never went out of her way to enter Fu Xizhou's sight.

Everyone else saw him as a shining star, but she saw his dark side and avoided him like the plague.

But she was too weak, and Fu Xizhou never gave up trying to control her.

"Do you love hiding from me that much?" He cornered her somewhere deserted, his warm breath brushing her face. Her timid, uneasy demeanor only made him want to break her even more. "Every time you avoid me, you owe me double time this weekend. Got it?"

Ming Sheng was so embarrassed she didn't know where to look. Of course she understood, but the next time, she still avoided him on instinct.

When graduation came, Ming Sheng agreed to move in with him. Using the excuse of going home to get her luggage, she switched off her phone after leaving and headed straight for the airport.

She was going to fly away, to a place where Fu Xizhou didn't exist.

When Fu Xizhou was twenty, the only thing he enjoyed, despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was toying with the chauffeur's little girl.

He controlled every aspect of her life and savored her helplessness as she tried to escape.

Later, she got away. Broken glass cut her palm, and he carried the pain for years.

At twenty-eight, Fu Xizhou met the girl again.

By then, she was someone else's girlfriend. He clenched his injured hand into a fist, then slowly relaxed it. Casually, he brushed past her as she stood there in a panic, smiling with cool composure. "Did you get my permission before deciding to marry someone else?"

A privileged young master x the chauffeur's daughter

[He had always thought he was the one who controlled her fate at every turn, only to discover in the end that she was the one who controlled his.]

Theme: The cracks in a relationship can be repaired with sincerity.
