Award-Winning Work: Lure Him into the Trap (60 episodes)
Story Synopsis:
Li Kangkang places three million RMB in cash before Xia Jian. Seeing the money, Xia Jian immediately changes her previously disdainful attitude, as Li Kangkang appears to be a frail, sickly woman. What Xia Jian does not know is that this three million is only the first step of a plan devised by Li Kangkang and Yuan Pei to take revenge.
The story begins with Xia Jian, a psychologist, who not only had an affair with the minor celebrity Gu Shanshan but also secretly transferred all marital assets elsewhere. To reclaim her wealth and punish the unfaithful man, Xia Jian’s wife, Yuan Pei, enlists her friend Li Kangkang in the U.S. Li Kangkang loses thirty pounds to convincingly pose as a patient with anorexia and enters Xia Jian’s home under the pretense of seeking treatment.
Xia Jian hides the three million in a villa unknown to Yuan Pei. Yuan Pei follows, searching for the transferred marital assets, and nearly gets caught. In the chaos, she falls while climbing a wall and injures her leg. She encounters Dr. Gu, who takes her to his private hospital and tends to her injury.
Li Kangkang deliberately seduces Xia Jian, claiming to be the heir of the overseas Gu family, terminally ill, seeking one passionate love affair before death. Xia Jian begins to waver. While Xia Jian is away, Li Kangkang and Yuan Pei secretly eat a local delicacy at home. Caught by Xia Jian, Li Kangkang claims she just wanted to try it, then pretends to vomit. Suspicious, Xia Jian suggests a full medical check-up for Li Kangkang.
Afraid of being exposed, Yuan Pei confesses the entire plan to Dr. Gu. Though initially reluctant, Yuan Pei injures herself with a surgical knife to pressure him into participation, and Dr. Gu agrees.
Dr. Gu presents himself as the Gu family’s personal doctor, proving that Li Kangkang is indeed the family heir with credible credentials, including U.S. medical school degrees, the family’s address, and servant names. This surprises Li Kangkang and Yuan Pei, while convincing Xia Jian of her legitimacy.
Meanwhile, Gu Shanshan, pregnant with Xia Jian’s child, suffers abdominal pain and visits the hospital. Xia Jian ignores her calls while entangled with Li Kangkang. Gu Shanshan’s brother, revealed to be Dr. Gu, helps save the child. It turns out Gu Shanshan is the true heiress, and Dr. Gu is the heir of the family fortune.
Finally, Li Kangkang claims she will marry Xia Jian but needs her grandfather’s approval, tricking Xia Jian into transferring twenty million RMB to a fake contract prepared by Li Kangkang and Yuan Pei.
After realizing the truth, Xia Jian regrets everything: she has lost the real heiress and her devoted wife Yuan Pei. Dr. Gu begins courting Yuan Pei, and together, Yuan Pei, Li Kangkang, and Gu Shanshan use the twenty million to establish a women’s foundation, helping other women.
