She was determined to become a female equestrian who could compete in the Olympics. Hearing Jiang Xun say those words on camera, she called out to him from the track: "Want to get back together? Catch up to my speed first." Jiang Xun: "I've never stopped chasing you. My heart has been racing at a thousand miles an hour for a long time." [Author's Notes] 1. This is primarily a romance, with the heroine's equestrian career as a secondary focus. The athletes in this story are not based on real people, so please don't draw comparisons. 2. A second-chance romance between a fiercely confident racing driver with a strong sense of security and an equally brash equestrian. 3. Most of this story is set in a fictional world, and the equestrian details may not be professionally accurate. Please don't scrutinize them. Synopsis of "So He Was Only Pretending" (Formerly aloof racing engineer, now an influential wife-obsessed tycoon x beautiful heiress and little temptress / sweet romance / happy ending) Sheng Yuanfei, the little princess of the western social scene, was proud and pampered, with an impeccable family background and beauty that seemed beyond reach. She was never short of men or admirers. One day, by chance, she spotted a boy at a bar, wearing a spotless school uniform. He had ordered nothing but a plate of pasta and was quietly reading in a corner. Everyone around them laughed. "Doing homework at a bar? This top student must have come to the wrong place!" Only Sheng Yuanfei knew that the boy was the country bumpkin her sworn enemy's family had brought back from the countryside: her enemy's older brother. The boy had a lowly position in his enemy's household. He was withdrawn and kept to himself. But his talent for racing engineering was astonishing. At a young age, he had already reached the top of the field. Sheng Yuanfei had a grudge against her sworn enemy. She deliberately pressed down on the boy's tablet as he studied, then gave him a flirtatious look. "How about a deal? Be my boyfriend for two months, and I'll let bygones be bygones with your little brother." The boy pulled his tablet back, his face warning everyone to keep their distance. "I hadn't saved the new racing design I was working on." -- What goes around comes around. The Sheng family angered someone powerful, and Sheng Yuanfei had no choice but to seek reconciliation with her sworn enemy. In the lavish, decadent world of business, the withdrawn boy who once did nothing but think about and draw racing designs had, in the blink of an eye, gained power and become the most sought-after rising star in the western social scene. The man was elegant and cold, like a distant moon in the heavens, impossible to approach. "Miss Sheng, let's make a deal. Let me be your boyfriend now, and I'll help you." Everyone knew how ruthlessly Shang Mu had climbed up from the very bottom of the racing engineering world. He was a monster in human skin, adept at wielding power and manipulating people. But late at night, when he was alone with Sheng Yuanfei, he pinned her against a table covered in blueprints, stubbornly kissing her fingertips again and again, his gaze nearly obsessive. "Don't touch anyone else, all right..." Sheng Yuanfei: "Weren't you pretty good at pretending before?" "I won't pretend anymore." Theme: Two people moving forward together and bringing honor to their country.
