The Lin and Ye families arranged a business marriage.
At the engagement banquet, Lin Shuwan watched with her own eyes as her fiance, Ye Yifei, pulled a woman into the shadows beneath a tree, where they acted far too intimately.
Everyone was waiting for Lin Shuwan to become a laughingstock.
Even Lin Shuwan thought it was ridiculous.
Just as she was about to slam the door and leave, someone blocked her way. "Want to have some fun together?"
The man's peach-blossom eyes were flirtatious and alluring, with a clear hint of danger in their gaze. Yet his invitation was made with elegant composure.
Lin Shuwan smiled seductively, took his arm, and left with him in full view of everyone.
Ye Yifei chased after them, with laughter ringing behind him.

The man who took Lin Shuwan away was He Xiujie, the newly appointed head of the He family. Rumor had it he was cold and heartless, ruthless in his methods, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He was a sinister, bloodless man.
Most importantly, he was Ye Yifei's sworn enemy.
Everyone in their social circle laughed at Lin Shuwan for not knowing her place. They expected the Ye family to break off the engagement, He Xiujie to toy with her, and her to end up disgraced and ruined.
But then someone spotted Ye Yifei lingering beneath Lin Shuwan's apartment late at night. Behind the swaying shadows cast on the window, two figures were close and intimately entwined.
Later, at an upscale restaurant,
Ye Yifei stopped Lin Shuwan in front of everyone, holding out a diamond ring as he knelt on one knee to propose and beg her forgiveness.
Instead, a bright red marriage certificate was flung in his face.
"Call her sister-in-law."
He Xiujie's peach-blossom eyes narrowed, and he smiled like a beautiful calamity.
Everyone: What happened to what we thought would happen?

Back home, Lin Shuwan let go of the arm she'd been holding and smiled, her red lips curving. "Thank you. I've had a lot of fun with you lately."
He Xiujie intertwined their fingers one by one, clasping her hand tightly as he drew her into his arms.
His warm breath brushed her ear, his voice low and deep. "Who said I was just having fun?"
* The male lead is He Xiujie. Choose your side.
* Marriage first, love later / the second male lead takes the crown / stealing someone else's partner / the ex chases his wife to the crematorium
* Both leads are inexperienced in love, happy ending
