Rich Woman, But Got Dumped By A Jerk Three Times.

Synopsis

In the ancient city of Yeyu, there’s a private fine-dining club that’s almost impossible to get a reservation for.
Half the patrons come for the signature dishes, the other half come to see the owner.

That owner is Yun Jiushu—a woman with sultry, emotion-laden eyes, a wasp waist wrapped in traditional Shu embroidery cheongsams, exuding a beauty that doesn’t belong in this old town.

Beautiful and rich, Boss Yun has never lacked lovers—but she’s never given her heart to any of them.

Until she meets that outsider.

The newcomer is a math teacher, carrying with her a cold, distant aura unfamiliar to this warm old city—like a sharp blade slicing suddenly into view.

The “social butterfly” falls for real. She sends away her lovers, lowers her pride, and throws herself wholeheartedly into pursuit.

But just when their relationship is about to take that final step…

The other woman disappears.

The rejected butterfly sneers coldly at the mess left behind:
“You’re the first one to ever treat me like a fool.”

…

Spring, a year later.

Yun Jiushu opens a new branch of her private dining club in another city.

In the hazy light of a bar, she spots a familiar silhouette on stage—a drummer.
After the show, Yun Jiushu corners her backstage and snarls:

“It’s you, isn’t it? How dare you play me like that?”

“Sorry.”
The “drummer,” now disguised and mute, signs with her hands:
“I don’t know you.”

Yun Jiushu doesn’t believe her. She’ll use every means to expose her lies.

But even when she corners the woman in a dark corner, clothes disheveled, breathing heavy, passion clouding those foxy eyes…

The one being kissed doesn’t make a sound.

Only Yun Jiushu, breathless, keeps whispering:
“Liar… mute liar…”

As her emotions start to resurface and passion spirals out of control—

The woman disappears again.

This time, though…

Yun Jiushu’s been played twice.

…

Two years ago, a secret arrest order was issued.

Yi Chengsong, fresh out of school, was assigned a new identity and sent to Yun City to investigate an unsolved case.

The suspect was a seasoned manipulator, and the mission turned out to be far more complicated than expected.

When Yi Chengsong received her third tipoff and showed up at a banquet as a “business partner”—and saw the target’s face—

She already knew this mission was doomed.

She never expected to be fooled so easily.
She also never expected the woman’s vengeance to be so ruthless.

“Having fun?”

The only escape door in the lounge clicks shut.

The flamboyant woman steps in, closing the distance slowly.

Pushed into the sofa, Yi Chengsong trembles as the woman’s red-bottomed high heels hook her necklace, the heel grinding into her collarbone, and a cold, pine-scented perfume wraps around her like a cage.

Yun Jiushu’s gaze gleams with ice and amusement:
“Try running again, I dare you.”
