Countless Stars Fade in Your Presence

Xia Qihan, the world’s number-one international agent, Blood Linglong. When she was nine, she witnessed her mother being forced to jump to her death. She was implicated and hunted for nearly four years. Just as she was about to die, Shi Zhen, head of the Shi family of C Country, stepped in and saved her. After Xia Qihan displayed an extraordinary talent for business, she became the Shi family’s first heir.

Now Xia Qihan has returned to her country under a concealed identity. She is determined to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death.

On the way home, her plane exploded, forcing her to board a cruise ship. There, she happened to see Li Nanze, CEO of ETA, being targeted in an assassination attempt. Xia Qihan “rescued him along the way.”

She never imagined that this chance encounter would become an unbreakable bond between them.

After taking her younger sister back to school, Xia Qihan runs into a “lecher” on her way back to the bar.

Xia Qihan: Young Master Li, with a beauty by your side, why are you out here? Feeling unsatisfied?

Li Nanze: There’s no beauty by my side, but there is one right in front of me.

Xia Qihan: True, there weren’t any beauties in the private room, but there were plenty of handsome men. So Young Master Li prefers men.

Li Nanze... Why can’t it be you?

Xia Qihan: Young Master Li, are you going for the old CEO-romance trope? Frankly, it’s pretty lame.

Li Nanze: If it wins your heart, then it’s a good strategy.

Xia Qihan: Trying to scoop the moon from the water is wishful thinking. Young Master Li, your face is thicker than a city wall.
