Male lead's first time, female lead isn't a virgin / male lead gets hurt / secret identities revealed / younger man / female-led / 1v1 happy ending

The male lead is pretty, gentle, hopelessly romantic, insecure, fun, useful, and easy to fool (?)

Devoted and restrained × flirtatious and fickle

Heir to an old family × heiress to a financial conglomerate

[Her beautiful canary is the one in control of the world of power and wealth]

"Have you heard? The little pretty boy Miss Su just took in is being kept at her villa in Chanahai."

What Su Queqing never expected was that the canary who bowed and fawned before her

was none other than her fiance, the beloved darling of an illustrious family that had been sworn enemies with hers.

The pedigreed old families and a family with three generations in business were worlds apart. But no matter how treasured and exalted the moon in the sky might be, to Su Queqing, he was no more than a dog.

-

Su Queqing, eldest daughter of the Huayu Group, came from a prominent family and was strikingly beautiful. She was a bona fide celebrity in society.

A favorite of tabloid reporters, she had countless scandalous rumors swirling around her.

On the night she announced her engagement to the Jin Hui family, the top trending headline was that the top-tier star she'd been rumored to be involved with for years had slashed his wrists at home.

As her family bombarded her with demands and her lover closed in, Su Queqing unexpectedly took in a handsome man who was gravely injured.

Fang Chenci had a beautiful pair of heterochromatic eyes, much like the cat she'd raised as a child.

He obediently let her do as she pleased, breaking the rules and propriety he'd followed for years and accepting every mark she left on him.

He was so frail and pitiful that even when someone threatened her, demanding she trade her priceless Paraiba tourmaline for him, she handed it over without blinking.

Later, Fang Chenci transformed into the young master of an old family.

The Pei family, which ruled the Jin Hui family with an iron fist, did indeed have a son who rarely appeared in public because of his poor health.

His was the name on that marriage contract.

Her fiance, so exalted and precious, had actually been willing to abase himself like that?

Standing before her, he looked every bit as arrogant and self-possessed as those old fossils of the Jin Hui family. She couldn't stand him.

She pressed her cigarette against his collarbone.

-

They met again three years later. Pei Ci, the Jin Hui family's new young head, had made a name for himself, while Su Queqing was now, in name, another man's wife.

They said the man from the Shen family was extremely gentle and willing to put his entire fortune behind her.

At social gatherings, everyone bowed and scraped to Pei Ci, the new young master of an old family. Su Queqing played along with him too:

"Our Su family has no choice but to follow Young Master Pei's lead, doesn't it?"

As though she hadn't said such insulting, heartless things to him three years earlier.

When Fang Chenci heard people call her Mrs. Shen, he kept his feelings hidden, but clenched his fingers so hard they hurt.

When they were alone, he pinned her by the back of her neck with cold, brooding eyes and forced her to kiss him, just as she had done to him back then.

Mrs. Shen? What was Shen Quying to her? Why shouldn't he compete for her? What did the Shen family have that could compete with him?

He should have taken revenge on her, tormented her, and imprisoned and humiliated her in return.

But in the end, he only held her close, hid his tears, and asked in a low voice, "How am I not as good as him? I listen to you, too."

"You've waited for her all these years and offended the one person in Hujing you should never have crossed for her, yet she's still as cold as ice. Fang Chenci, don't you think you're pathetic?"

The ash fell from between Fang Chenci's fingers. His eyes burned as he said, "I'll try one more time."

Beneath his half-open collar was a pale cigarette burn.

If he hadn't loved her so much, how could he have let her treat him like this so willingly?

-

After they made up, Fang Chenci still prepared breakfast for her every day, kissed her before they parted, and left a light on for her at night.

She thought he'd long since let the past go.

Until one night, unable to sleep, she went to the door to smoke.

Less than ten minutes later, the door was flung open.

She turned around and saw Fang Chenci, clothes disheveled and eyes red. The moment he saw her, he visibly relaxed.

"What's wrong?" she asked, stunned.

Fang Chenci came over with dragging steps and held her. His voice caught a little as he said, "I thought you'd left again. I thought I'd done something wrong and you'd stopped wanting me."

[This novel will be published on February 27. Thank you so much for your support, mwah mwah mwah!]

-

When Shen Shi was eighteen, he was kidnapped. When he opened his eyes, he saw a stunningly beautiful woman.

She held an iron rod, while the two people who had kidnapped him knelt trembling in front of her.

They reluctantly apologized, saying Shen Lu's son deserved what he got.

The woman walked up to Shen Shi, grabbed his chin, studied him for a moment, then suddenly said:

"I've changed my mind. Tell Shen Lu I'm keeping Young Master Shen in Huguang for a while."

The woman's name was Jiang Fei. In Huguang, she was a prominent figure, notorious but feared by everyone.

She spent half a month showing Shen Shi around Huguang. She wanted nothing from him except a few paintings.

After their last night together, Shen Shi woke up on a boat.

A neat stack of 100,000 yuan sat by the bed.

-

Five years later, Shen Shi had become a rising star in the business world, making a name for himself in Hujing. They said he was ruthless, just like his father in his youth.

On his yacht, he saw the woman who had appeared in his dreams countless times over the past five years.

Some were nightmares, and some were... erotic dreams.

The woman seemed to have forgotten him. He grabbed her wrist and demanded angrily, "What did the 100,000 yuan you gave me five years ago mean?"

Jiang Fei was baffled. "It was payment for your paintings..."

Shen Shi's expression softened at once. So that was it. He'd thought...

She'd been buying him.

-

Jiang Fei avoided him at every turn and fled back to Huguang to enjoy the nightlife.

To her surprise, Shen Shi chased her to a nightclub in Huguang. When he saw her with an arm around each of two other people, his eyes immediately turned red.

"You already have me. What do you think you're doing?"

Jiang Fei was horrified. "What do you mean, I have you? We don't have any kind of relationship! I didn't do anything five years ago!"

Shen Shi looked even more aggrieved. "What do you mean we don't have a relationship? Are you trying to shirk responsibility?"

The next day, the scandal spread throughout Huguang.

Jiang Fei had slept with the second young master of the Shen family in Hujing, then refused to take responsibility!

Even the deputy head scolded her behind her back: "He was eighteen. How could you bring yourself to do that...?"
