[Mutual Exploitation + The Long Road to Winning Her Back + Mutual Redemption] Playboy × Cool-Headed Top Student

Everyone in Kyoto's elite circles knows that Huo Yizhou, the golden boy of the family, has a pair of alluring eyes that are both hard to approach and full of romantic charm. He is cold to the core.

He can graciously and politely charm his way around different women, but one thing is always off-limits:

Love.

To get through a family banquet, he needs a “girlfriend” to bail him out of the lie he told his family to put off an arranged marriage.

Song Shinuo, with her mild temperament and sweet, unassuming nature, seems like the perfect target:

“It's just for fun.”

He pursues her wholeheartedly, all the while knowing exactly what kind of man he is, and falls for her without realizing it. A friend watching from the sidelines sees what's coming and warns him, “Don't get so caught up that you end up losing yourself.” It turns out those words are a prophecy.

The day the truth came out, a torrential downpour swept through Kyoto. Huo Yizhou's eyes looked as if he were holding back a ferocious beast. His voice hoarse, eyes red, he roared in fury, while Song Shinuo merely tilted her head indifferently, neither agreeing nor denying it.

She had told him plainly long ago: “Huo Yizhou, I'm not a good person.”
