Zhu Jinxia is a little princess who has always been doted on. Recently, a marriage prospect ten years her senior appeared out of nowhere. She resists the match and refuses point-blank.

The handsome man she'd secretly loved is finally back in the country, and Zhu Jinxia prepares to confess her feelings and begin a beautiful first love.

But her family's company runs into trouble, and she has no choice but to turn to Shang Jiming, the young heir she'd called an old bull eating young grass. The man is still gentle, but his terms are merciless:

“I'll help the Zhu family if you marry me.”

It's supposed to be a marriage of convenience, but the man is oddly insistent about fulfilling their marital obligations.

She acts up in every way imaginable, and he indulges her without limit. Little by little, Zhu Jinxia falls into the web he's woven, losing herself in his tenderness.

Only when she hears the name of her beloved does the warmth in Shang Jiming's eyes slowly fade.

And yet she has the nerve to hook a finger around his tie and ask with a smile, “Mr. Shang, jealous again?”

He leans down with the pull of her hand, one palm resting at her waist, his kiss stopping just short of her lips.

“I am.”

“So, Mrs. Shang, how are you going to make it up to me?”

She'd only meant to tease him.

Now her husband has taken her seriously.

It isn't until the schemes behind their whirlwind marriage come to light that Zhu Jinxia realizes how dark and obsessive the man who sleeps beside her every night truly is.

She takes off her ring, leaves a divorce agreement, and heads home.

The man who was always the best at setting traps stands outside the Zhu home, kneeling and begging her to come back. At last, Zhu Jinxia also learns of the secret love he has kept hidden for years.
