Hooked

A seductive girl who's fallen on hard times vs. a cold-hearted Buddhist gentleman / ten-year age gap / deliberate pursuit / the powerful man gives in for love Yin Yan, the cold and handsome head of the Yin family, looks down on everyone and never stops for the weak. The wealthy young women try to uncover his preferences in a partner from every clue they can find. All they learn is that he dislikes women with a large age gap or too many secrets, and hates being deceived even more. No matter how hard they try, countless women come away empty-handed. Some don't even get to meet the powerful Mr. Yin before Assistant He turns them away. Assistant He watches a woman who's been appearing around his boss more and more often lately. She's supposedly the heiress of the Huo family, newly returned from overseas. The rose tattoo on her arm is her trademark. She dresses like a mature, alluring woman, with a pair of captivating fox eyes, but her methods are clumsy. Assistant He can see through them with ease. Assistant He watches as the woman pretends to twist her ankle and fall in front of the powerful Mr. Yin. She tugs at the stern man's trouser leg and coos, "It hurts so much. I can't walk." He wants to tell her not to waste her efforts. Surely the powerful Mr. Yin won't even spare her a pitying glance. But when the woman clings to his trouser leg, refusing to let go, Mr. Yin sighs, bends down, and scoops her into his arms. She smugly nestles against his chest, then comes up with a plan. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kisses the corner of his lips, then quickly buries her face, feigning embarrassment. Assistant He expects Mr. Yin to darken his expression and toss her aside. Instead, he merely curls his lips into the faintest smile. Assistant He thinks he must be seeing things. The cold-hearted Buddhist gentleman has been pulled from his pedestal. - Just as Yin Yan starts falling for the woman, she suddenly runs away and stops trying to win him over. He finds her in a bare, dim, unfinished apartment. The girl has shed her usual mature, alluring look. Her face is plain and youthful, and she wears a cheap T-shirt. The red rose tattoo on her arm is gone. He thought she was a precious rose, but she's nothing more than a weed by the roadside. Her identity was fake, her age was fake, and every one of her repeated claims that she liked him was a lie. The powerful Mr. Yin, who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his hand, has been led in circles by a nineteen-year-old little fox. Theme: Charge fearlessly toward happiness.
