The Noble Heiress

Meng Zhiyi, daughter of Jiangnan's richest family, had a dream. In it, her father died of illness, her little sister vanished, her second uncle squandered the family fortune, and she was forced to marry into the Zhou family, where she suffered endless humiliation. In the end, the husband she had chosen by tossing an embroidered ball killed her.

After waking up, Meng Zhiyi reined in her personality and secretly made plans. She kept her first husband of convenience in check and used him to uncover the truth behind the Meng family's downfall.

Meng Zhiyi discovered that this husband of hers had a remarkable identity and was quite handsome, too. She thought that before they divorced, she might as well secretly have a child with him. Then she and her child could spend the rest of their lives enjoying the Meng family's wealth. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live freely as a wealthy young lady?

At first, Lu Nanfeng only intended to use his status as the Meng family's son-in-law to investigate a case. But little by little, he lost himself in the sweet, tender way she called him her husband. Well, he supposed it wouldn't be so bad to bring home a spoiled, unruly wife.

Later, everyone knew that the cold, aloof, and exceptionally talented Heir Lu had a sordid past in Jiangnan City.

Everyone scorned the former Meng heiress for failing to recognize a good thing when she had it. But they never expected that one day, Heir Lu would stop a woman carrying a child and ask her tenderly, "Do you really have no feelings for me at all? Can't you be a little more sincere with me?"

Meng Zhiyi didn't even turn around. "That's right."

Lu Nanfeng: "I don't believe you."
