Song Baifeng, a powerful man in Beicheng, was famous for putting self-interest above everything else. Cold and heartless, he was not someone to trifle with. Yet he had the stunning face of a beautiful woman, like a thorny blue rose: dangerous and addictive. He had been pursued by countless admirers over the years, and they always met with rejection.
He had stood up countless blind dates, too.
No one could get close to him.
To get revenge on her scumbag father, Dai Shu set her sights on Song Baifeng, a man with no feelings who cared only about profit.
Her friend warned her not to provoke a man like him; she was no match for him. Outsiders laughed at her for thinking she could "pursue" Song Baifeng, waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
No matter what people said, Dai Shu didn't care. She carried on with her "strategy" to win Song Baifeng over.
Dai Shu: "Mr. Song, let me treat you to dinner."
Song Baifeng turned her down without hesitation. "No, thank you."
She said, "Mr. Song, since we have identical lighters, why don't we let them meet?"
Song Baifeng found that amusing. "Do lighters need to go on blind dates these days?"
She replied calmly, "Of course. I have a whole basket of lighters that go on blind dates and make new ones. I don't even have to buy more. Why not make a profit?"
Song Baifeng: "..."
A month later, the two walked out of the marriage registry.
Song Baifeng took the marriage certificate from her hand and said coolly, "Now that we're married, when are you moving in?"
Dai Shu: "..."
Dai Shu never expected that she'd planned to be Song Baifeng's business partner in a give-and-take relationship, but ended up becoming his partner in life.
What a mess.
--
When people in their circle learned Song Baifeng had gotten married, they sympathized with him, then teased him for giving in to pressure to marry and hastily finding some little star who was no match for him in background. They all bet that he'd divorce her within six months.
After all, Song Baifeng was as cold and heartless as they came. Aside from that purple lighter, he cared about nothing and no one. Divorce was only a matter of time.
Even Dai Shu herself thought their marriage wouldn't last. Song Baifeng loved nothing but profit, while all she cared about was how to make use of this coldhearted man who only cared about money.
Their marriage was just the result of a drunken game of truth or dare. They were bound to divorce sooner or later.
Six months later, everyone was proven wrong, and every last bet was lost.
They still refused to believe Song Baifeng had genuinely fallen for her, insisting he just didn't want them to win.
Song Baifeng simply smiled and let them talk.
--
Later, Dai Shu's plan to use Song Baifeng to take revenge on her scumbag father was exposed. His friend came to warn him that Dai Shu had hidden her identity and deliberately gotten close to him. A scheming woman like that should be divorced at once.
When Dai Shu, who was always calm and composed, found out, she threw down divorce papers and fled, moving out of Song Baifeng's apartment that very night.
Dai Shu thought he would divorce her.
Instead, he grabbed her hand and said, "A Shu, can we please not get divorced?"
Make him fall for you. Deceive him. Marry me.
She thought she was in control of everything, never realizing that she was the prey who would fall and give him her heart.
A pragmatic, deeply fixated, cultured-scoundrel heroine VS a cold, restrained hero who is not what he seems
Coming next:
The False-Faced Attendant, a groveling-after-the-breakup romance
After dinner with her best friend, her friend's childhood pal Shen Shiqi sent her a friend request.
He was her boss's archenemy, and the two were completely at odds.
Tao Xiao had no reason to touch her boss's taboo, so she turned him down outright. But he didn't give up.
Shen Shiqi was gentle and considerate. When she was sick, he would set work aside and come to her at once. When she was wronged, he would step in to help without embarrassing her.
He said, "I'll always hold you, Tao Xiao, in the palm of my hand. I'll always be your rock."
Shen Shiqi gave her all his gentleness and love.
On Tao Xiao's birthday, New Year's Eve, the square was packed with people and fireworks filled the sky. When the New Year's bells rang, he said, "Tao Xiao, are you really not willing to give us a try?"
His gentleness made her fall for him again and again, quietly melting the heart she had kept frozen for so long.
Tao Xiao wanted to take a chance, so she said yes.
Her boss at her old company had disappointed her completely. She left the company and joined Shen Shiqi's, parachuting in as the marketing director. But when Shen Shiqi went up against her old company in a corporate image battle, he used her as a pawn and threw her under the bus.
He broke his promise.
After crying her heart out, Tao Xiao resigned and broke up with him without hesitation.
She started a company with her best friend.
A month later, Shen Shiqi was waiting for her downstairs from the office.
He said, "Come back, Tao Xiao. I shouldn't have done that."
Tao Xiao said with disgust, "Get lost. All I want now is money, not a man."
Shen Shiqi was her boss's rival. She fell for him, drawn to him, until his gentleness drowned her.
Cool-headed, rational heroine VS a hero who is a gentle trap
Theme: Loving yourself is the greatest romance of all
Anyway, the writing is very good, but the ending is a bit rushed (it's a cookie in my opinion) and has a bit of a redemptive feel to it. As for the mess that happened to the Yu family later on, I feel like we can give an appropriate result (although everyone who understands understands it)
Summary: Good-looking, but a little immature
