The Cavendish family is one of Britain's long-established aristocratic families, owning more than 30% of the country's land, second only to the royal family. Eleanor is the youngest daughter of the Cavendish family. Noble and elegant, yet still as innocent and carefree as a little girl, she is a true aristocratic lady. For the past twenty years, countless noble gentlemen have tried and failed to win the heart of this delicate English rose. Growing up among the aristocracy, she has come to fear marriage, having seen her aunt's failed marriage and a close friend's unrequited love.
Then one day, her family tells her that the only son of the Rockefeller family, a promising young man, might make a suitable friend for her. The Rockefeller family is famous for its immense wealth in the oil and finance industries, and is one of the richest families in America. Eleanor realizes that she, too, cannot escape an arranged marriage between aristocratic families. So the obedient young lady, after more than twenty years of compliance, resolutely runs away to Paris, the world's renowned city of romance. She wants to briefly escape this suffocating fate.
In Paris, she meets Chris. He is tall and aloof, but his gentle gaze rests on her, full of turbulent love.
In that moment, Eleanor admits she is a little taken with him.
Then, for the first time, a bold thought occurs to this gentle young lady: Why not follow her heart and indulge herself for once?
And so Eleanor begins a passionate romance in Paris.
But Eleanor knows she cannot keep indulging herself forever. So, just as their feelings are at their most intense, she dumps Chris.

Chris admits that when he first met Eleanor, he already had some less than honorable ideas about her.
Later, they got together, and he wanted to pluck the stars from the sky and give them to her. He gave her his whole heart, but although she said she loved him, she didn't seem to care at all. Without a word, she dumped him.
Chris has had everything go his way for years. No one has ever dared treat him like this or toy with his feelings.
He says all kinds of harsh things, but still can't help making excuses for her in his heart: Maybe she had her reasons. But it's fine. Even after Eleanor hurt him like this, he still loves her.
What he never expected was that she could be so heartless. She not only deleted his contact information, but also threw away the good-luck charm he had prayed for her when they traveled in China.
Chris is furious. Eleanor wants to get away from him, but how could he let her have her way?

One month later, at Wozhinton Manor
The man pins the young woman roughly against the wall. Chris lifts her flushed face with a long, slender finger. His once-calm eyes are now filled with a storm that has arrived too late.
"You changed your phone number, blocked me on WhatsApp, and threw away the good-luck charm. Eleanor, you really are ruthless!"
His rough palm clamps down hard on her jaw. Bloodshot eyes glare at her with hatred, as if he might lunge at her the next moment and bite through her throat.
Eleanor struggles in a panic, her wide, bright eyes full of shock.
This is bad. Chris has come looking for her!
This is the story of a seemingly gentle aristocratic lady who wants a no-strings fling, only to accidentally fall into the trap of a fake gentleman and end up thoroughly devoured.
