Clear-eyed flirt x All talk, secretly soft
Xu Lingshan, a fallen heiress, never imagined that the mysterious man in a position of power was the little business partner she'd known before.
She thought she'd been in control back then, cool-headed and rational, and had left in time. But she discovered that she had long since fallen into a web of affection woven from his endless gentleness and tolerance.
On a midsummer night on the Mediterranean coast, the sea breeze was soft and the air heavy with dew. His profile was hidden in the shadows of night, noble, composed, and untouchable.
Xu Lingshan parted her red lips, her words dripping with sarcasm. "Some people really are born lucky. They come back home, inherit the family fortune, and become the richest man in the country. Unlike me, stuck with a mountain of debt."
Ming Jue didn't take offense. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Then how about we get married? All my money will become yours, and I'll pay off your debts."
The prospect of money and a handsome man made all the resentment Xu Lingshan had been bottling up disappear in an instant.
Maybe marrying him wouldn't be so bad.

Ming Jue had always known that Xu Lingshan had ulterior motives when she first approached him.
He looked down on her clumsy tricks, yet still found himself playing along with her performance.
After all, his own reasons for approaching her back then had never been pure, either.
When it comes to love, who can claim to be more rational or noble than the other?
The glittering world dazzled the eye, and the elite circles were even more intoxicating. Every family had its own troubles.
They seemed to enjoy endless prosperity, but behind the scenes, scandals and rumors abounded.
Only those in the know understood that true old-money families produced the most devoted lovers.
It had long been rumored that the eldest son of the Ming family fell in love with Miss Xu at first sight and spent half his life protecting her.
