[Power player in Beijing's elite circle | Both leads are virgins | Age gap | Calculated pursuit and ruthless conquest | Second male lead's regret]
Yun Ni is a poor girl supported by the Ning family of Nancheng, and she stutters.
Not only does she struggle to speak, she's also a little slow-witted. Yet she is exceptionally pretty, soft, and delicate, with a pitiful charm.
Ever since moving into the wealthy Ning household, she has always known her place and tried to please everyone, especially the eldest young master Ning, who brought her there.
But the eldest young master Ning is a cruel, frivolous man, coldly looking down on everything she does. He even humiliates and torments her in front of a crowd of wealthy young heirs.
Yun Ni flees the private room, only to accidentally catch the eldest young master's girlfriend in a car with another man...
As a typhoon rages, she sees the man's deep-set, sharply defined features and is so frightened that she stumbles backward into the rain.
Yun Ni recognizes him. Ning Yanjing is the leading wealthy businessman among Beicheng's elite, and the eldest young master's distant younger uncle.

The next time they meet is at a family banquet in the Ning household. Amid the bustle and adulation, the man sits in a place of honor, wreathed in cigar smoke. Every gesture exudes cultivated elegance and prestige, placing him far beyond reach.
A casual sidelong glance from him is enough to remind her of the secret she accidentally witnessed that night. She doesn't dare breathe.
Later, when the eldest young master Ning mocks her in front of everyone, she stammers out an explanation, only to be tripped by a beautiful woman and fall to the floor.
Yun Ni is a disheveled, humiliated mess. Her little face turns bright red, and she can't get a word out.
No one expects the man seated at the head of the table to speak in a calm, refined voice. "Come sit on my lap."
The whole banquet hall falls silent. Yun Ni doesn't dare disobey, and awkwardly settles into his arms.
"..."
Everyone in the private room stares in shock, exchanging baffled looks.
Yun Ni finally comes to her senses and gets up, only for Ning Yanjing to deliberately pull her back into his arms.
After that, the people in the Ning household notice that Yun Ni stutters even more and hides in her room every day, afraid to face anyone.
One rainy night, the eldest young master Ning gets up for a drink of water and accidentally hears a girl's tearful, halting voice coming from somewhere in the villa: "Ning... Yan... Jing..."
Through the half-open door, he sees the little stutterer's white nightgown on the floor, along with a pair of exquisite men's leather shoes...
