Nangong Jingling, the eldest daughter of a mysterious family, gave up the adoration and affection showered on her, along with her fine clothes and noble surname, to come alone to Caimitia, all because of something she’d said in jest as a child.
Leng Qingyang, Caimitia’s most powerful third-generation heir, grew up in a prominent family rife with scheming and power struggles. He never received even a shred of paternal love. For the sake of the laughable title of heir and to fulfill his mother’s wish, he became cold and ruthless from a young age.
He had always thought he would spend his life in this loveless family, giving up everything he wanted for the family’s honor and to defend his mother’s position.
Then one day, a girl barged into his life, throwing his disciplined routine into disarray and melting his frozen heart.
But this girl seemed far too mysterious. Why was she so familiar with weapons at such a young age? Why did she have such a talent for business? Why was everyone around her so influential? And why was she always so brazenly defiant, as if nothing mattered?
He fell deeper and deeper, until one day he realized that this girl had completely taken over his heart. He vowed to spoil her for the rest of her life and make her the most powerful woman in Caimitia.
They first met by accidentally bumping into each other at the airport. That collision taught Leng Qingyang that someone could be so soft, while Nangong Jingling realized that the big brother she’d known years ago had grown so handsome.
The second time they met, Leng Qingyang discovered that the girl was talented, too, and his growing attraction grew even stronger. Su Jingling realized how serious Leng Qingyang was at work, and wondered why he still looked so handsome.
The third time they met, Leng Qingyang said coolly, “I need someone to get a marriage license with. You happen to be here, so why don’t we do it together?” Su Jingling’s eyes lit up. Wasn’t that exactly what she wanted? And so, half an hour later, the two of them walked out of the church holding their red marriage certificates.
But everyone around him thought he’d gone blind to choose her.
How could a woman with no connections possibly stand by his side?
How could some girl who’d come out of nowhere be a match for the eldest son of Caimitia’s most powerful family?
How could a twenty-year-old girl bear the title of Mrs. Leng?
But one day, when her identity was revealed, everyone was stunned. It wasn’t that she wasn’t worthy of him; it was that the Leng family wasn’t worthy of her.
Nangong Jingling stood proudly beside Leng Qingyang, accepting everyone’s astonished stares and declaring that this man belonged to her.
Leng Qingyang gently put his arm around Nangong Jingling, proclaiming to everyone that he would prostrate himself at her feet and spend his life as a slave to her love.
This is a sweet romance about a little fox in a lamb’s clothing who gradually conquers a cold-faced, ravenous wolf. There’s angst, but the angst makes the sweetness all the more rewarding.
