Everyone in Yilin City's wealthy circles knows that the youngest daughter of the Jiang family was promised to the head of the Pei family long ago.
But luck wasn't on their side. Before the engagement could even be made official, the Jiang family went bankrupt.
Everyone gloated, waiting for the Pei family to break off the engagement.
Even among the wealthy, the Pei family was an untouchable mountain of snow.
And word had it that the head of the family was ruthless, cold, and heartless.
Wherever he went, people hardly dared to breathe.

Though she feared the man in those rumors, Jiang Youyou steeled herself and tried to make contact, thinking of her family's future.
She heard the head of the Pei family was hosting a party at his estate, so she took a cab there. But she never caught sight of the rumored owner of the estate.
Instead, she unexpectedly ran into the tall, handsome, refined man she'd met once before.
He was polite and considerate, and offered to drive her home.
The people around her called him Mr. Xu.
Jiang Youyou: Then thank you, Mr. Xu. You're such a nice person.
-
After that, Jiang Youyou repeatedly tried to get close to the rumored head of the Pei family, but each time she happened to run into that "Mr. Xu."
That "Mr. Xu" was tall, handsome, and refined. She fell for him.
Torn between love and her family's future, Jiang Youyou returned home with a troubled expression and her Mr. Xu in tow, ready to confess and resist the arranged marriage.
Her parents stared at her in disbelief. "Do you even hear what you're saying?"

Later, some rich-kid friends threw Jiang Youyou a birthday party, put a plastic crown on her head, and mocked her as a fake princess.
Jiang Youyou: My boyfriend will be here to pick me up soon.
They sneered: Which fake rich guy has the fake princess hooked up with now?
Pei Zhixu opened the door, put an arm around the girl, and coaxed her softly. "Sorry, baby. I'm late."
The moment everyone recognized him, the whole room fell utterly silent.
