A Ruthless Pursuit: The CEO Needs His Head Examined

A heroine who is stubborn and aloof at first, then returns for revenge, making sure every slight is repaid

VS

A male lead who is cocky and flamboyant at first, then becomes silent, patient, and ruthless

Qiao Baiqiu thought she only had to deal with Meng Chuyue's bullying at school. Who could have guessed that her mother's new husband would be Meng Chuyue's father?

For her mother's sake, she chose to endure it. But the person she had protected joined forces with Meng Chuyue and dealt her a fatal blow.

Heartbroken, Qiao Baiqiu fled C City.

Six years later, she returned to make everyone who had bullied and humiliated her pay.

When she tried to find a chance to get close to Meng Chuyue's fiancé, she unexpectedly learned that a man who had barely ever crossed paths with her had gone mad looking for her after she disappeared.

But so what? A man's talk of love wouldn't stop him from making deals for his own benefit.

Love is a seasoning. When you need it, it's a bouquet pinned to your chest for decoration. When you don't, it belongs on the ground, crushed into the dirt to nourish brighter flowers.

All she needed to know was that Tan Tingxuan was Meng Chuyue's boyfriend, and she was going to use him. Nothing more.

Tan Tingxuan had once been proud and arrogant, unwilling to humble himself or show her kindness. Only after losing her did he realize how ridiculous he had been.

Everyone thought he was just a hotheaded young man and that he'd get over it after a few months.

Now he was back on track, successful in his career, with a well-matched girlfriend everyone envied.

Only Tan Tingxuan knew that he had never forgotten her for a moment. He had waited patiently in the shadows, determined to have the final say.

He wanted Qiao Baiqiu to come back and never leave again.
