*Older man | Coercion | Dual secret identities
*Enigmatic, gorgeous sweetheart vs. taciturn, ruthless, obsessive big shot
1. The wealthy heiress Song Shuyu has always been obedient and well-behaved. Her only act of rebellion is when it comes to marriage. Her family wants her to find a husband of equal standing, but she has no interest in rich young masters and deliberately chooses men from ordinary backgrounds to flirt and have fun with.
In her words, men without money or power are easy to leave once you've gotten involved with them.
During a vacation in Africa, Song Shuyu meets a rugged, handsome, manly mixed-race man with striking blue eyes. Tall and sexy, he's captivating.
His name is Sam. He's a local guide assigned to drive her around, taciturn and aloof, but he steps in to help when some thugs harass her.
They say it's easy for a woman to win a man's heart, and with Miss Song's charm, it doesn't take long for this icy mountain to melt.
After several passionate encounters, Shuyu is so pleased with this working-class guy that she's considering giving him a generous payment when she discovers that he seems to be a big shot hiding his identity, and that he even has a wife! Terrified, Shuyu immediately books a flight home and runs for it.
2. Fortunately, Shuyu never told Sam her real identity.
To Sam, she's just an ordinary exchange student named Lily. He doesn't know where she's from or what her family does.
In a vast sea of people, she's run off. Where could Sam possibly find her?
More than a year passes, and Shuyu assumes that Sam has moved on, too. She never expected him to come looking for her a year later under a different name.
"Miss Song Shuyu, is that right?"
The man wears a sharply tailored suit, every detail refined, and his gaze at her is full of fire.
"I still prefer what I used to call you, Baby Lily."
3. Jay Rossi, the most mysterious young heir of Italy's Rossi family. Low-key and aloof, domineering and ruthless. Everyone in both the underworld and legitimate society shows him respect.
Countless heiresses want to marry him, yet the Eastern girl who slept with him and vanished avoids him like the plague.
"Mr. Rossi, here's the list of men Miss Song has played with... I mean, dated."
The man's face darkens as his cold gaze sweeps over the long list of names.
Very well, Song Shuyu!
This time, he gets to decide when the game ends.
