Romance




I conceal my identity and successfully help my boyfriend, Zane Holt, in establishing his business. But he views me as a stepping stone to woo the heart of another rich woman, so he sets up an elaborate trap just for me.
In public, he showers me with love and affection, making me the most envious target of all women on the Internet.
But in the shadows, Zane hires a professional team to transfer his assets and create debts for me. Then, he tricks me into signing an insurance that comes with a huge payout, with the idea of fully milking what's left of my worth.
"Liz, everyone tends to aim higher in life. Don't blame me for being realistic. You're the one to be blamed for being dumb and poor. Remember to get reborn as someone with a better background in your next lifetime!"
Zane thinks his plan will unfold smoothly, and that he'll successfully marry rich. But what he doesn't know is that the Gibson heiress, who he has been flirting with on the Internet, is actually me.
The only reason why I've stayed by his side for the past five years is so that I can conduct an examination on whether or not he has the right to become the Gibsons' son-in-law.
"The examination period is over. Zane Holt, you're officially terminated!"

At eighteen, I was coaxed by Chuck into tasting intimacy for the first time.
Blinded by what I thought was love, I even let him convince me to tattoo his name onto my shoulder blades.
Then came the day I stood on the university auditorium stage at the Music Conservatory, holding my acceptance letter, delivering my freshman welcome speech. That was the moment Chuck chose to release a private video of us to the world.
My parents disowned me. The university expelled me immediately. Every friend turned their back.
Overnight, I went from being a rising star to a public target for men's advances.
Later, I discovered the truth: Chuck's affection was merely revenge for his childhood sweetheart. His kindness was a weapon aimed at me.
Six years later, our paths crossed again. The flutter in my chest for him was long dead. Yet there he was, kneeling in a crowded public space, his pleas echoing over and over.
“Beth, please... forgive me?”
