[Cool, Thorny Poison Rose vs. Rebellious, Untamed Wolf]

The romance is not the main focus, and the pacing is on the slow side. Read with caution if that's not your thing.

Ning Yan, the young granddaughter of the chairman of Longcheng Group, and Gu Jingfang, the third son of the owner of Gu Man Group, were once childhood sweethearts in the capital of Daxia. But 17 years ago, on the eve of Gu Jingfang's seventh birthday, a devastating fire shocked the entire city. The merciless flames took his Yan Yan, while Ning Yan's mother and younger brother also disappeared in the blaze.

By coincidence, shortly before the fire, Ning Yan's grandfather suddenly died of a heart attack aboard a plane bound for Switzerland.

The name "Ning family" seems to have become the capital's byword for an unresolved tragedy.

Seventeen years later, the arrival of a girl brings this long-buried memory back into the public eye.

Li Chengde said viciously, "The Ning family is long gone. Longcheng Group belongs to the Lis now!"

A cool voice drifted in from outside the door. "Is that so?"

At a banquet, the industry's youngest director, who had access to top-tier film and television resources, thanked her. "Miss Xu, thank you for saving my elder sister's life."

Xu Qing raised her eyes to look at him, a strange sense of familiarity stirring in her heart.

Gu Jingfang, Daxia's newly crowned richest man, stared at the figure on the sofa, his gaze fixed on her. A bullet wound pierced his right palm...

Xu Qing, just how many secrets are you hiding?

Xu Qing's expression was icy. "Mr. Gu, I have the ability to cripple one of your hands, and I have the ability to make you disappear, too."

The man chuckled softly. "I believe you."
