[Pride and Prejudice / Deliberate Approach / Sparks Fly / The Cold-Faced Man Does the Laundry]
-
Ming Shuya is nothing like her name suggests: she is neither demure nor graceful.
Born into a prominent family, she has been domineering and arrogant since childhood, looking down on everyone equally.
Her smooth-sailing life should have given her anything she wanted.
Unfortunately, when it comes to marriage, she is too good for anyone above her and too picky for anyone below her. Her standards are impossibly high.
As the only child in her family, she finally forces herself to settle down at thirty, hoping to put her elderly grandfather's mind at ease, and begins looking for a husband.
Just then, a man who seems to match her in every way happens to appear by her side. His name is Zhou Yan. There's not a single flaw to be found in his personality or family background, and his looks and physique are both top-notch.
Her friends tease her for being so lucky, as if she's fallen into a "pig-butchering scam."
Ming Shuya is rather pleased with herself, convinced that Zhou Yan is the perfect partner tailor-made for her. Outside, he's the boss; at home, he's a dog; in bed, he's a wolf. Calling him an emperor who pours tea and water for her wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Just as she is basking in bliss, one piece of bad news after another comes her way...
* Selfish, arrogant heiress X vengeful, sinister new powerbroker
* Weibo: @Shi Buge Ya. Come say hi~
[Bonus Scene]:
After learning that Zhou Yan was the poor boy she had looked down on most in high school, the two take off their masks for the first time and have a no-holds-barred argument.
Ming Shuya doesn't want to get entangled any further, so she decisively ends things and leaves. As she turns away, he grabs her hand in a death grip, his words sounding like either a plea or a provocation. "You're always so arrogant, acting like you're above everyone else. You never treat anyone as your equal."
She gives his hand a tentative tug, realizes she can't get free, and fires back without backing down. "And what about you? Are you any better? Dare you say you don't have all sorts of prejudices against me? You decided I'm just a coldhearted, wicked woman!"
