Forbidden melodrama | The second male lead rises to the top | Long-planned seduction | Six-year age gap
Outside the study of the Su family patriarch, Lu Zhu looked troubled.
She held the doorknob, hesitating over how to begin.
At seventeen, Lu Zhu was adopted by the Su family. A marriage agreement took the place of adoption papers, and she became Su Mu's fiancee.
In public, Su Mu was cultured, courteous, and impressive. In private, he was frivolous and dissolute.
Lu Zhu had asked Su Mu to call off the engagement several times, but he had always ignored her.
After much hesitation, Lu Zhu made up her mind to confess everything to the old master.
Just as she was about to open the door, she was pulled onto the balcony nearby.
In the dim light, the gold-rimmed glasses of Su Yichen glinted coldly. The cigarette in his hand glowed and faded. "There's a more dignified way to solve this. Think it over."

Su Yichen was the head of the Su family in Shencheng, a man at the top of the social pyramid. He was elegant and refined, steady and composed.
People in their circle had long gossiped that Su Yichen was nearly thirty and showed no interest in women, so there had to be a reason.
Then he was photographed kissing Lu Zhu, the Su family's adopted daughter, in a car, and the news caused an uproar.
Su Mu stormed over with the photograph and demanded, "You're my uncle! She's your niece-in-law! Your niece-in-law!"
Su Yichen remained calm and spoke in an indifferent tone. "Get out, and close the door behind you."
In the room, Lu Zhu was pinned beneath Su Yichen, unable to move. Her eyes were veiled with tears, and she bit her lip hard, not making a sound.
Su Yichen's cool voice carried a note of displeasure. "Instead of just marrying into the Su family, marry me."
