A Heiress Is Hard to Tame

[A Fake Gentleman of a Powerful Family vs. a Mischievous, Flirtatious Heiress] Nian An is the most dazzling beauty in show business. She has been in the industry for only a year, yet despite scandals swirling around her, offers keep coming, and her background remains a mystery. As the most rebellious young lady in her family, she has always been allowed to do as she pleases. There is just one rule: she must never date anyone in the entertainment industry. Then rumors of her affair with a top-tier star hit the trending charts, enraging her elders. Nian An has no choice but to go on a series of blind dates. She meets a whole crowd of so-called suitable bachelors, but not one catches her eye.

I couldn’t bring myself to take a bite.” Later, news that Nian An has won an international Best Actress award sets the internet buzzing. Soon afterward, rumors break that she broke up a famous director’s marriage.

The haters mock Nian An, saying that without a powerful family to back her, she’ll be thrown out sooner or later. Then the top-tier Nian family posts a family photo on the group’s official account.
