The Ji Family's Little Ancestor Has Run Away Again

A sharp-tongued, cold beauty with a soft heart vs. a CEO who wears a thousand faces, pretends to be a scoundrel but is truly devoted

[One-on-one romance, sweet pampering, the tiniest bit of angst, two strong leads]

The first time Pei Yu met Ji Baichen, he was in that subtle transition between boy and man, radiating irresistible hormones from skin to bone.

She had no desire to get involved with him in the slightest. She'd rather find a way to make money among the circle of girls chasing after him.

But things didn't go as she hoped. He found a chance to corner her, took the bottle of water from her hand, and smiled faintly. Then he said, "Were you waiting here just to bring your big brother some water?"

After that, Pei Yu avoided him like a wild beast. But the beast kept openly flirting with her and blocking her way, waiting for her to slowly fall into his trap...

Just as he was about to succeed, disaster struck. The Pei family fell, Pei's father went to prison, and Pei Yu disappeared...

The Ji family was also thrown into chaos as fathers, sons, and brothers fought for power, leaving Ji Baichen struggling to protect himself...

Years later, Pei Yu returns in men's clothing. Not only can she deal with Second Master Ji with ease, she also runs AY Studio and the jewelry brand Moyu.

The bright, bold boy she remembers has transformed into a reserved CEO, courteous on the surface and utterly unmoved inside.

She promises to help him make money and occasionally acts as a shield to fend off the women surrounding him.

But all along, she quietly plans to leave once her own career is on track...

Until she gradually discovers, through her investigation, that the mastermind behind the Pei family's tragedy was the Ji family...
