The Xie family behind the Dingyuan Auction House is a den of scheming wolves and tigers.
The eldest daughter is set on inheriting the family business. She spends her days working and has no interest in romance in her thirties.
The second daughter is ruthless, handling the family’s dirty business and making enemies wherever she goes, openly and behind the scenes.
The third daughter has the lovely title of artist, but goes through seven or eight boyfriends for every painting she makes. She is, in every sense, a gossip magnet.
The fourth daughter is a rare well-behaved young lady. Putting aside her status as a “fake heiress” and her tortured romance with her nominal “young uncle,” she is a fine choice for a political marriage.
The Xie family found their “real heiress,” who had been missing for eighteen years, and named her their fifth daughter, Xie Jiayan.
The fifth daughter is no simple character either. At her debut party, she appeared on the arm of Mr. Qin, a famous figure in Harbor City. With her cool beauty and delicate figure, she was like a fine white porcelain vase from an imperial kiln, embodying the saying that circulated in Harbor City: “The Xie family’s daughters are its most valuable treasures.”
Unfortunately, Mr. Qin already had someone else in his heart, and treated the beauty before him as a substitute.
Mr. Qin is old money and a rising star in his industry. Arrogant and aloof to the bone, he nevertheless treats his contract girlfriend, Xie Jiayan, a little differently.
Though this “fake girlfriend” is young and in an awkward position, she is sweet, sensible, and knows her place. Even when showing off their relationship, all she does is quietly bring him soup. Mr. Qin considers himself a gentleman, and is willing to look after her a little more.
When Xie Jiayan said not to contact her on Wednesdays and Fridays, he smiled and agreed, considering it a small indulgence for a young girl.
One Saturday afternoon, Mr. Qin happened to visit a shooting range. He heard everyone talking about someone who had hit the bullseye thirty-seven times in a row with a pistol the day before.
“She’s a young lady named Cheng Poqing.”
“She’s so quiet, but she’s incredible with a gun!”
“Host Cheng Poqing, the Domineering CEO conquest System reminds you that yesterday you completed the daily task, ‘Bring Qin Yuechuan soup,’ and earned the fixed reward of 20 points.”
“Host, Host! The target’s affection for you just skyrocketed!”
