“Love is a poison carefully woven by a prisoner, and he willingly drinks it, plunging into the abyss.”
The cold-blooded tycoon Pei Zheng has an “accident” and is rescued by a pair of clear, damp eyes. He takes the young Shen Yao home, thinking he has found a fragile beauty, like a moon fallen from the heavens. Little does he know this is a long-planned reunion, a secret current building for ten years.
The gentle perfumer is the medicine that heals his frozen world, and also the blade quietly slicing through his trust. As Pei Zheng becomes lost in bone-deep passion and suffocating possessiveness, Shen Yao watches with cold eyes. “Soon, President Pei. When your empire crumbles, my revenge begins in earnest.”
Behind the scenes, the mysterious socialite Han Mengli lightly strokes the chessboard, her red lips curling into a smile. “My good children, the deeper you fall in love, the harder you’ll break.” She controls everything, turning their feverish bodies into the sharpest blades in her game of power.
A kiss forced beneath midnight fireworks, tentative advances in a steamy bathroom, desperate tears beside a hospital bed and a knife offered behind his back... When buried memories are ripped open, could the one he loves really be descended from the enemy who destroyed his family? “Yao Yao, did you really forget even that year when we depended on each other, the year I carved into my very bones, all for the sake of your revenge?”
He is the CEO’s caged songbird, trapped before the floor-to-ceiling windows, and also the flame of revenge that will burn them both to ashes just to drag him down. In this deadly game, who dares to be the first to give their heart? “I can’t afford to lose.”
