The Lady in Disguise

Qiao Zheng is gentle and dignified in appearance, with a clear, captivating beauty. A renowned proper young lady in their circle, she is the real deal, the kind of socialite the elders of wealthy young heirs love to hold up as a comparison for their own children.

She has spent most of her life abroad, so the younger generation doesn't know her well. They can only glimpse her elegant, refined life as a woman who seems as indifferent as a chrysanthemum through her social media, and secretly mock her as a future trophy wife.

But nobody expected Qiao Zheng to return from studying abroad and quickly go through the whole whirlwind engagement-and-wedding process with Qin Buguai, the eldest son of the Qin family. She really did become a trophy wife.

-

Qin Buguai is the eldest son of a famous conglomerate, privately known as the crown prince of Shanggang City.

He is gentle, refined, and impeccably mannered, exuding the grace and cultivation of a gentleman from within. He is humble without losing his pride.

But everyone in their circle has witnessed the most audacious, unrestrained side of Qin Buguai at eighteen. His image, riding a heavy motorcycle with his young girlfriend and speeding down Changxuan Street, still seems vivid in their memories.

Now thirty, Qin Buguai is sincere and reserved, with an unflappable composure. Only when he occasionally lets his guard down can people sense the pride still buried deep in his bones.

-

Qiao Zheng and Qin Buguai are both quite satisfied with their married life.

But a photo of Qin Buguai at a get-together with friends shatters their harmony.

The man sits deep in a private booth. The legendary girl who once rode on the back of his motorcycle, his unattainable first love, is holding him down and kissing him. His expression is carelessly languid, a side of him Qiao Zheng has never seen.

-

Everyone assumes Qiao Zheng is a conventional wife who can only quietly swallow her sorrow, but she is fascinated.

Not only is she not sad, she's excited: at last, this life as dull as still water has gained a little excitement.

Nobody has seen what Qiao Zheng looked like at eighteen either: her makeup immaculate, her long red hair bold and flamboyant, tattoos showing across her abdomen and lower back, radiant and exuberant as a nightclub DJ.
