Jiang Pan is from the south, with soft, elegant features and a voice that murmurs like flowing water.
A woman so captivating should have been cherished and lived a carefree life. Yet she fell in love with the Bai family's eldest daughter, Bai Yiqin, and climbed higher and higher for her. She put on a suit for her, schemed for power and wealth, and reached the peak of power, only to earn a reputation for all the wrong reasons.
At the celebration banquet, Jiang Pan wore the strapless dress and high heels she hadn't touched in ten years, all dressed up, only to see Bai Yiqin leave intimately with another woman. Afterward, Bai Yiqin tossed off a casual "It was nothing," and Jiang Pan let it go.
The heirs of the great families called her shameless. Everyone else called her stupid.
Only she refused to believe them.
Until she and Bai Yiqin's beloved were kidnapped. Bai Yiqin didn't hesitate to take Jiang Pan's money, sell off her assets, and ransom her beloved. She didn't even look at Jiang Pan before leaving.
Jiang Pan went from being on top of the world to a prisoner. Only then did she realize that everyone had abandoned her. There was no money to buy her freedom, and not even one person willing to call the police.
Just as she was losing all hope, someone paid the ransom. Her kidnappers led her out, and Lu Ciyan, whom she'd met only a few times, smiled at her.
The Lu family was unimaginably wealthy, and its eldest daughter, Lu Ciyan, was noble beyond compare. She was also wild and unruly, always teasing cats and dogs and refusing to be controlled.
"Want to live? Come with me."
Jiang Pan didn't understand. Her reputation was in tatters, she'd lost all her money, and she had nothing left to offer.
"You," Lu Ciyan said, seemingly calm. "You can afford that price, can't you?"
And so, from that day on, Jiang Pan became Lu Ciyan's secret lover.
Rumor had it that Lu Ciyan was arrogant, insolent, and bad-tempered. In private, though, she was gentle and attentive. She could cook and comfort her, and was romantic at times. She was a better partner than any lover could be, the kind of woman who made you want to grow old together.
Jiang Pan couldn't understand it.
But not long afterward, Lu Ciyan died in a clash with an enemy.
While sorting through her belongings, Jiang Pan discovered Lu Ciyan's diary.
Page 1:
[I kicked the Han family's bastard who insulted her to her face into the pool. Hahahahahaha!]
[She looked over!!!]
[She smiled at me!!!!!!]
Page 36:
[I heard her tell someone else that I'm headstrong and unruly, and that she doesn't like people like that. I understand now.]
[I'll find out what kind of person she likes, then become her ideal type.]
It turned out Lu Ciyan had already been tamed by Jiang Pan, without her knowing.
The next morning, Jiang Pan woke up and discovered she had been reborn. She was back at the banquet where she'd just climbed to a senior position at the Bai company.
Splash! Jiang Pan turned toward the sound. Lu Ciyan had kicked the bastard into the pool, drawing a wave of laughter.
When she saw Jiang Pan watching, Lu Ciyan nervously turned away.
At this point, Lu Ciyan hadn't been tamed yet. She was a well-born heiress with an awful temper.
Fate had brought them into each other's hearts during the best years of their lives.
Tame me, and make me yours.
A mature female executive x a wild, untamable heiress. Both are strong.
First love for both, one-on-one, happy ending, guaranteed sweetness.
