Playing Innocent

After dying young because she trusted the wrong people, Qiao Weiwei wakes to find she has been reborn, back on the day she was adopted by the Gu family, Kyoto’s most powerful clan. In her previous life, Qiao Weiwei lost both parents in a car accident and was adopted by the Gu family, who had been friends with her parents. Everyone knew she was Gu Zhiyuan’s Achilles’ heel: anyone who touched her would die. But on her eighteenth birthday, when she confessed her feelings, Gu Zhiyuan, who had always doted on her, looked at her with disgust. “Keep your filthy thoughts to yourself.” She went from a cherished darling to a lunatic who lusted after her brother, and was locked away in a sanatorium to endure three years of torment. Reborn, she chooses to cling to her younger uncle, Gu Huaijin. At twenty-five, Gu Huaijin founded a business empire. He was ruthless in all his dealings, and every woman who got close to him disappeared from the world. Everyone waits for the day Qiao Weiwei is thrown out of the house. No one expects Gu Huaijin to pamper the young woman beyond measure. After the World Violin Competition awards ceremony, someone sees the usually aloof and proud man burying his face against the girl’s neck, his voice low and husky. “When will you give me a proper title?”
