[Working title, to be adjusted when the story begins]
[Mutual seduction and a love-triangle showdown / each other's first love]
Everyone in high society knew Wen Jingge, heiress of the Wen family, was dazzling and rebellious by nature.
When her family arranged for her to marry into an overseas financial dynasty, Wen Jingge called off the engagement on the spot. The next day, she made a surprise appearance on a top-tier star dating show, dressed in a gauzy gown and smiling as she invited the whole internet to choose her a husband.
Every male contestant chosen by the show was a paragon, especially the last to appear, the newly returned elite, Pei Huaiqiu.
The man was cool and ethereal as snow on a distant mountain. Yet his collar was undone, revealing a cinnabar mole that lent him a touch of blasphemous sensuality.
The comments went wild:
[Ahhh! Two absolutely magnificent faces!]
[This is a golden age for pretty faces. I'm shipping this couple for sure!]
On the first night, the contestants gathered around a bonfire on the beach, and Pei Huaiqiu played a solo beneath the moon.
Moonlight and firelight intertwined, making the man's profile look both sensual and breathtaking.
Wen Jingge half-hid her lovely face behind a folding fan. Her gaze slid from the man's Adam's apple to his taut waist, greedy as if sizing up her prey.
From then on, with every episode, the whole internet shipped them to death:
Pei Huaiqiu took a drink for her, and Wen Jingge personally slipped an antidrunk pill between his lips.
Wen Jingge walked barefoot across the beach. Pei Huaiqiu sank to one knee in the wet sand to brush it from her toes, while her seawater-soaked hem wound around his wrist.
During a truth game, Pei Huaiqiu said his first love was his childhood friend. Wen Jingge crushed her wineglass, the sound shaking the whole room...
Everyone thought the two of them would surely leave together.
But on the night of the final confessions, Wen Jingge was forced back to the family estate to meet her arranged fiancé.
The two powerful families faced off, surrounded by black-clad bodyguards in the courtyard, and then a painfully familiar face appeared.
Pei Huaiqiu unfolded a yellowed marriage contract and slid it in front of Wen Jingge. Two childish fingerprints were stamped on it.
"Are you ready to honor our engagement now? My... fiancée."
.
Before Pei Huaiqiu left the country, his beloved little sister grabbed his finger and forcefully pressed it onto the pretend-wedding certificate.
"You can't marry anyone else. I'm your bride!"
Later, rumors swept through the business world:
The all-knowing, all-powerful head of the Pei family had been left waiting for three whole days.
Pei Huaiqiu clutched the yellowed marriage contract, his eyes frosty as he asked in a cold voice, "Where is she?"
Little Miss Wen stammered, "Brother-in-law, my sister went... went to a dating show to choose a harem, QAQ..."
