[Scheming adopted daughter who pretends to be delicate and weak × abstinent, domineering head of a powerful family] [Fake replacement + one-on-one, both chaste + second male lead gets his comeuppance, but she won't forgive him] Jiang Qie was sold to the Gu family by her birth parents. She lost herself and became a substitute for their deceased true heiress. Her adoptive brother was her only salvation. Because she couldn't bear to leave him, she gave up on escaping the Gu family. But in the end, he was also the one who handed her over to an older man. She understood that it was time to leave.

Knowing when to quit, she left with the money and connections she'd amassed, transforming herself into a leading name in the design world. But the man abandoned his first love, cornered her against a wall, and kissed her fiercely. “Don't even think about leaving me in this lifetime.”
