You'll Get Used to It

A devoted fake playboy × a sweet-looking heiress with a dark side

Sheng Tinghuai was famous in their social circle as a “playboy.”

Once, someone pulled him aside to gossip: “See that? She's the Xu family's princess, a top-tier rich beauty with a perfect figure. Tons of rich young men are drooling over her.”

“Analyze this for me. Do you think Miss Xu could ever fall for me?”

He saw his childhood friend, whom he didn't know all that well, out on a blind date.

His amorous eyes took on a hint of mockery as he analyzed the situation flippantly.

“Good girls from well-off families are usually just tools for those scumbags who've had their fun. They marry them for their families and have them take over raising the kids.”

Xu Zhilan happened to overhear his assessment.

Later, she ended up on a blind date with Sheng Tinghuai, and the two of them sat there in an awkward standoff.

She spoke first. “Why don't we just do our own thing? As long as you're healthy and can give our kid good genes, that's enough.”

Sheng Tinghuai, who'd planned to get the first word in: “?”

Xu Zhilan: “Why are you allowed to play around, but I can't have other options? Hypocrite.”

Sheng Tinghuai: “Damn, which scumbag messed you up so badly? For old times' sake, I can help you put a sack over his head and beat him up.”

Her gaze drifted over him, unhurried and pointed. “That's how we tools do things. You'll have to bear with it.”

Only later did Sheng Tinghuai realize that her brand of cool detachment made her the perfect hunter in the game of love.

He let out a theatrical sigh. “I'm starting to regret this.”

Xu Zhilan glanced at the ring she'd just put on after accepting his proposal, and raised her voice at the end. “Oh?”

Sheng Tinghuai lifted his eyes slightly. “If I'd known you weren't a good girl, I wouldn't have stayed so far away back then for fear of ruining you.”

At first, Xu Zhilan thought she was the one who'd been standing still all those years.

She never imagined he'd been pining for her just as long.
