Back in school, Jiang Fu had a crush on Song Muyun, who would become a famous movie star. But she was warned that, with her ordinary looks, she was deluding herself, and the man himself even advised her to find someone else to crush on.

After graduation, Jiang Fu tried to break into the entertainment industry, but the industry's top-tier star and CEO, Chu Jinye, coldly rejected her audition, bluntly accusing her of having impure motives. It was a crushing blow.

After stumbling her way onto a production, her unrelated-by-blood younger brother, who loved picking fights with her, suddenly became a popular singer, while her own career went in the opposite direction, earning her the title of the most ordinary woman in the Chinese entertainment industry.

In short, nobody cared.

Then one day, a beauty System bound itself to Jiang Fu. Every reward was tempting: skin smooth as jade, cherry-red lips, clear, sparkling eyes, a pert, delicate nose...

But the tasks she had to complete to earn those rewards were: bite Xu Zhiyi, share an indirect kiss with Chu Jinye, and make a new account to send Song Muyun a selfie with a dreamy aesthetic...

Later, the media caught the superstar Jiang Fu after a red-carpet event, pinned against a wall by the famous movie star Song Muyun. He tried to hug her, but she slapped his head to the side. His hair was disheveled, all his dignity gone, like a drowned dog. Not only was he not angry, he even took the hand she'd slapped him with and blew on it.

Or take CEO Chu Jinye, who showered her with luxury apartments, sports cars, and top-tier opportunities. Footage once surfaced of his luxury McLaren blocking Jiang Fu's way as she headed home, then following her at a crawl, stopping and starting. Through the car window, Chu Jinye reached out, pleading for her to give him a chance. His watch was as opulent as ever, his posture more humble than ever, yet she still ignored him, and he couldn't even get her to look back.

As for Xu Zhiyi, whose angelic looks had captivated countless young women, he wrote more than ten songs for Jiang Fu, composing the lyrics, music, and vocals all by himself, and gave her all the profits. He even cut ties with the Xu family to defend her. Then he posted a pitiful message on Weibo: "Sister, you haven't gotten tired of hating me for over a decade, so why won't you even hate me anymore?"

A netizen happened to post a screenshot of Jiang Fu's new social media status:

"Men are better when they know how to get on their knees."

And the whole internet exploded.

At first, he merely watched Jiang Fu's somewhat clumsy attempts to seduce him with cold indifference. He mistook her for a doddering vine seeking the support of the powerful, and her petty little schemes, far from clever, were almost amusing.

But gradually, every smile and frown of Jiang Fu's, the ambition that flashed through her beautiful eyes, and the way her skin brushed his, deliberately or otherwise, became the cat's paw that scratched at his heart. His once-calm composure suddenly gave way to raging waves.

Should he lock away this thief who toyed with people's feelings and break her wings, so that her lovely eyes reflected only him? Or should he take her by force, imprisoning her in the cage of time until she submitted?

But without her heart, it would all be a trap of his own making.

"I know what you are like, and yet I still feel this way about you."
