A preview of my upcoming story:

"Thoroughly Entangled [Love Con Artist]"

Real gold-digger x fake young master

Cunning kitten x roguish stray dog

After successfully winning the heart of the rumored heir to the Xie family, Su Zhi thinks she's halfway into a wealthy family. Instead, what awaits her is life in a rented apartment.

Life with Xie Liao is no better than when she was on her own.

The two of them work several jobs. Xie Liao installs air conditioners and works as a bouncer. After his shift, he comes to the restaurant to help her clear tables, then they deliver takeout together in the early hours of the morning.

Just how poor are they? Let's put it this way: they have to use each condom twice.

Su Zhi thinks Xie Liao is pretending to be poor to test her, so she never complains. She dreams of becoming a rich man's wife after graduation, and says that even drinking the cold northwest wind is sweet as long as she's with him.

Then she takes a part-time job welcoming guests at a banquet. Only after arriving does she discover it's a welcome-home banquet for the Lin family's illegitimate daughter, and the Xie family's heir is giving a speech onstage.

Down below, Su Zhi, dressed in a qipao as a greeter, stares wide-eyed at Xie Liao, who's working as a waiter.

Su Zhi: "Aren't you the Xie family's heir?"

Xie Liao: "Aren't you the Lin family's illegitimate daughter?"

Su Zhi: "What's with your Maybach?"

Xie Liao: "I borrowed it. What about your jade pendant?"

Su Zhi: "I found it."

The air falls silent. They both sink into deep silence.

Five years after their breakup, Su Zhi gets into a confrontation with a girl at a KTV.

While waiting at the police station for a friend to pick her up, the girl threatens her: "My fiance is a top lawyer. You're just a fake-liquor salesperson. Just wait till I sue you!"

Before long, a Maybach pulls up outside, and a tall, handsome man walks in.

Their eyes meet. The summer night breeze sweeps through the police station lobby, and their reunion takes them completely by surprise.

The successful Lawyer Xie arrives in a sharp suit, a teasing smile on his lips. "I thought you'd married into a rich family by now. So you're still doing this kind of thing."

Su Zhi turns away and ignores him. She tries to leave, but Xie Liao grabs her arm.

His voice is slightly hoarse, his words mocking: "Ten million. How long would that keep you?"

Love con artists + bitter romance + a scoundrel's true love + rekindled romance + one-on-one, both virgins

"Hate is an overwhelming grievance."
