When the news of the Qin and Huo families’ marriage broke, everyone in the industry said Qin Zhaoning had struck it rich, finally getting his wish after years of secret love for Huo Xiuyu.

But they also knew that Huo Xiuyu had a first love, Bai Yueguang, who lived far away abroad. After Bai Yueguang left, he indulged in sensual pleasures, never caring about any woman.

When asked about his feelings about being engaged to Qin Zhaoning, Huo Xiuyu leaned back in a bar booth and scoffed nonchalantly, “Just a boring woman.”

He had met her a few times; she was dull and uninteresting, as bland as a weed by the roadside.

Later, Huo Xiuyu received a video.

In the scene, Qin Zhaoning, dressed in a red dress, pressed a young man against a sports car. Her eyes were full of tenderness, almost seductive: “Tell me, what can I do to get you to agree to my proposal?”

The young man pressed his hand against her shoulder: “Don’t you have a fiancé?”

Huo Xiuyu narrowed his eyes, then heard his meek and boring fiancée scoff nonchalantly: “What kind of bastard is he?”

Later, he understood that Qin Zhaoning wasn’t a weed, but a prickly rose.

Huo Xiuyu thought Qin Zhaoning was blind, leaving him, a powerful figure, for a young boy who had barely grown up.

After having someone investigate Song Zhuo, he became even more convinced that he was no match for him in every way.

Until the three of them met.

Taking advantage of Qin Zhaoning’s absence, the fair-skinned, innocent young man casually opened his collar, revealing a red mark on his neck. Without malice, he asked, “Are you the bastard I was talking about?”
