Proud Beauty x Devoted, Possessive Young Master

①

In high school, Lin Luxi’s family was lucky enough to move in next door to the Lu family.

The Lu family was one of the top wealthy families in the capital, with two sons. The elder, Lu Shiyue, was rebellious, lazy, and roguishly charming. The younger, Lu Xingzhi, was humble and gentle, with impeccable manners.

Lin Luxi was terrified of Lu Shiyue. She never went to any gathering he attended. Rumors spread through their social circle that Lu Shiyue looked down on Lin Luxi for trying to climb the social ladder, and that the two of them were like fire and water.

Lin Luxi never denied the rumors. Before she moved to the capital, she and Lu Shiyue had been childhood friends. He knew all about the most humiliating parts of her past.

She was afraid of him.

Lu Xingzhi brought her into high society, warmly and reliably introducing her to every one of his friends.

Blinded by his kindness, Lin Luxi thought Lu Xingzhi liked her. Only later did she realize that to him, she was nothing more than a fling, and that his tenderness was merely a cruel disguise.

The day he dropped the act, everyone in their circle smiled and advised her to put up with it. Lu Xingzhi was just a playboy, after all, and he did have some real feelings for her.

That desperate morning, everyone abandoned her on a deserted highway. At her lowest point, she ran into Lu Shiyue.

She stumbled into his deep, dark eyes, disheveled and distraught. His casual voice held a hint of tension and stiffness as he said, "Marry me."

③

She thought their marriage was nothing more than a business arrangement, where they would each keep to themselves.

But after they married, she discovered that he had loved her with such fierce devotion for a long time.

Later, Lu Xingzhi begged her desperately to take him back.

One morning, Lin Luxi awoke in Lu Shiyue’s arms, her body limp and her eyes rimmed red. Then she heard his low, magnetic voice declare, "I schemed for so long just to lure her into my arms. Lu Xingzhi, you think you have the right to beg me?"
