I Play Sweet and Obedient, He Loses His Head! The Capital's Big Shot Begs on His Knees

[Deliberately Flirting + Both Chaste + Love Grows Over Time + Powerful Man Bows for Love]

[Polished, Self-Serving Good Girl vs. High-Ranking, Scheming Powerbroker]

Qi Zhiyao is the legitimate daughter of the Qi family, yet her stepmother and illegitimate daughter lord it over her.

She obeys her grandmother and endures everything, living cautiously at every turn.

In the end, she still loses the man she loves and is sold off herself.

Qi Zhiyao is furious, and she finally understands.

If none of them want her to have a good life, then nobody gets to have one!

So...

Qi Zhiyao surveys all of Haicheng and picks the most formidable backer she can find.

Everyone knows that Xie Yanchen comes from the highest ranks of the powerful elite. He is cold and aloof, a Buddha no one dares to provoke.

Qi Zhiyao refuses to be intimidated. She plots at every turn and sets a trap to get close to him, all so she can win him over.

To outplay a fox who keeps his cards close to his chest, you have to hide yours even better.

In public, she is a sweet and gentle good girl. In private, she is polished and self-serving, planning only for herself while pursuing both a man and a career.

No matter how many ways she tests him, the man remains as still as an iceberg.

Later...

Qi Zhiyao gets everything she wants, except for achieving her original goal.

At the celebration banquet for taking over the family business, Qi Zhiyao decides to drop the act.

She plans to give him a nice-guy card, then make a clean getaway.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yanchen traps her in a corner.
