In the elite second-generation circles of Fengjing, Zhao Shuyi and Xie Qi were the undisputed top dogs. Both young masters boasted prominent backgrounds, exceptional talent, and striking looks. Their similar standing led others to constantly compare them, often pitting them against each other. This frequent rivalry caused the two men to clash repeatedly and grow utterly sick of one another. They may have grown up together, but they were not childhood sweethearts—they were natural-born enemies.
Later, rumors spread that Zhao Shuyi was forced into a political marriage. His attempt to resist failed spectacularly, and after causing a huge scene, he was placed under house arrest. Xie Qi couldn’t hide his schadenfreude: “I’m dying of laughter, what amazing gossip, keep it coming.”
Bored out of his mind in confinement, Zhao Shuyi was soon given his own entertainment. Word was that Xie Qi was also being forced to marry. His family refused to name the fiancé, leading outsiders to speculate the person was utterly substandard—either poor or ugly, definitely unpresentable. Zhao Shuyi popped open a bottle of champagne. “I’m laughing so hard. If he’s miserable, I’m relieved.” Though his own fiancé remained a complete mystery.
Not long after, a grand engagement banquet was held in Fengjing City. Zhao Shuyi and Xie Qi were simultaneously “escorted” by their parents to the event, finally coming face-to-face with their respective mysterious fiancés.
Zhao Shuyi’s face was pale with horror, and Xie Qi’s eyes widened in shock.
“Damn it, why is it you!”
