I Chased the Wrong Big Shot, and Now He Won't Let Go

Meng Mingzhu lost both her parents when she was young, leaving her a helpless orphan with no one to rely on. To protect herself, she had to use every means at her disposal, all while putting on an air of innocent cheerfulness in public.

The first time Meng Mingzhu met her rumored cousin, Xue Yan, she was dazzled by him too. But she knew all too well that he was not someone she could afford to provoke.

When Meng Mingzhu reached the age to marry, she began making plans for herself early on. After careful consideration, she settled on a target.

Strangely, men who had been very taken with her would suddenly change their attitude and avoid her like the plague whenever she came up in conversation.

With no other choice, she had to look for someone else, but the same thing happened time and again.

Xue Yan's coldness toward Meng Mingzhu was subtle. In public, he was always perfectly courteous, but Meng Mingzhu was perceptive and had long since noticed his dislike of her.

Living under someone else's roof, she could only minimize her encounters with Xue Yan when she failed to win his favor.

To outsiders, Xue Yan was a noble gentleman, bright and immaculate, yet with her alone, he abandoned all courtesy. Even when she went out of her way to avoid him, she still couldn't escape him.

Only when she was pinned beneath Xue Yan did Meng Mingzhu finally realize that everything had been his doing. He had done it all to keep her by his side, where she could never escape his grasp.

"Wasn't this your goal when you seduced me?"

"I've taken the bait."
