Spoiled, But Never Obedient

To escape an arranged marriage, Zhong Lizhi turns to Cen Yu. He is a top-tier tycoon whose fortune runs into the hundreds of millions, made without relying on his family. Even the elders in their circle treat him with deference, and the hypocritical Zhong family is no exception. The day she asks him to attend her engagement party, he wants to put the past behind them. His expression is calm as he says, “Your marriage has nothing to do with me.”

After returning to her true wealthy family, Zhong Lizhi’s parents introduce her to a string of powerful and influential men. One night, beneath the pitch-black sky, a man leans nonchalantly against the front of his car. The glowing red tip of his cigarette flickers, casting deep shadows across his profile. Unable to bear his brazen stare, Zhong Lizhi says coldly, “Mr. Cen, if you have something to say, just say it.” Cen Yu crushes out his cigarette and lowers his eyes. “Lili, marry me.”

“Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to be the other man for love.”
