The Heart-Fluttering Research Project

My next book, Behind-the-Scenes Guest, is now open. Zhu Jiahui ran away from home to escape the marriage her elders had arranged for her. By chance, she joined a dating reality show and was hailed as the most flirtatious female guest in history. After becoming famous, business offers came pouring in. One day, she received a call about a collaboration. The caller was the mother of Jiang Lian, the CEO of a super-rich family in Shanghai. The wealthy mother was quite distressed: "My son only cares about work and has no interest in romance." "I've watched your show, and I want to hire you to stir his heartstrings. Ideally, you could awaken some worldly desires in him." Zhu Jiahui: ...What kind of outrageous and ridiculous request is that? She had no choice. The pay was just too good. Under the pretense of getting to know each other as prospective fiancés, Zhu Jiahui moved into the Jiang family home and began her campaign to win Jiang Lian over. She sweet-talked him every day, flirted shamelessly, and tried out all sorts of personas to make the emotionally detached man finally catch on. "It's so cold. I wish some kind soul would give me a hug." "Jiang Lian, I can't reach the lotion on my back. Could you help me?" "There's thunder. I'm scared. If you're here, I won't be afraid." At first, Jiang Lian thought the engagement was just an arrangement to satisfy his parents. He'd never taken it seriously. Until one day, after the two of them spent a night giving in to their worldly desires because of an accident... The next day, his fiancée-to-be had disappeared. - When they met again, Zhu Jiahui had returned to her family and was attending a matchmaking meeting she'd agreed to under pressure. Her uncle introduced her to the CEO of a business partner who'd traveled from afar: "This is my niece. If nothing goes wrong, the man beside her should be my future nephew-in-law." "Is that so?" Jiang Lian looked at Zhu Jiahui and sneered. "Then congratulations." Midway through the banquet, Jiang Lian dragged Zhu Jiahui, who was on her way to the restroom, to the hotel's top-floor suite. The night was hot and humid, and the unlit room felt forbidden and dangerous. "You slept with me and ran off, and now you're matchmaking." Jiang Lian slowly closed his hand around hers, his voice flat and emotionless. "Miss Zhu, where does that leave me, your fiancé?" Zhu Jiahui: "..." That night, The banquet hall below was packed with guests. Upstairs, old scores were settled, and the door stayed shut all night. [Highborn and aloof. Unflappable.
