A self-controlled, abstinent business tycoon * a sweet, seemingly obedient, but secretly wicked little white flower
On the eve of her university orientation, Xu Ruoying did the most outrageous thing she'd done in eighteen years, making the man who was so controlling of her afraid to come near her for six years.
Six years later, Xu Ruoying returns to Nancheng.
At a dinner party at her aunt's house, the elders of the Lu family all praise her for being sweet and well-behaved.
Not far away, the man sits with his legs crossed, leaning elegantly against the sofa as he gently swirls his wineglass. His eyes, hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, betray no emotion. "Oh? Is Yingying well-behaved?"
When their eyes meet, Xu Ruoying's heart tightens.
The place where his lips touched her six years ago is still burning.
If there's truly no way to avoid him, she wants to try peeling away his impeccable facade, layer by layer.
To see if that cold, unyielding heart will fall for her again.
*
Many eligible young men could be Xu Ruoying's Prince Charming.
Lu Jingyao alone can only be the king who protects her.
Being like a father to his younger siblings is what his family expects of him, and the boundary he has drawn between them.
Lu Jingyao never lets himself cross the line. But he is waiting, waiting for the pure white flower to bloom across the wasteland within him. When that time comes, he will disregard everything and break through that boundary.
