[Younger man + poor hero rises to success and later turns dark, becoming a domineering CEO + fallen heiress + rekindled romance]
Ni Qianyun, only daughter of the chairman of the Qinuo Group, was flirtatious, passionate, and breathtakingly beautiful, the wildest flower in the glittering city.
Qin Lian’an was an orphan with good looks and a talent for acting.
Just after returning to the country, she spotted a top-notch catch at a bar. She thought he’d be a fun distraction from her boring life, but the next day he showed up to apply for a job as her assistant.
Handsome and adorable, innocent and sincere, this little intern who blushed whenever she teased him seemed like the perfect kept man.
Qin Lian’an’s blushes were an act, and so was his shyness.
But his feelings were real.
He was swept away by a romance as dazzling as fireworks.
Until Ni Qianyun tossed an invitation to her arranged marriage at his feet, her voice colder than ice. “You were just a dog I kept. Don’t take it seriously.”
Years later, Qin Lian’an returned, bloodied but triumphant, transformed into the Qin family’s sole heir and the center of everyone’s attention.
Rumor had it he was ruthless, vengeful, cold, and heartless.
Rumor had it he’d once been kept by the late eldest daughter of the Ni family, and his revenge had been brutal. He had ruined Ni Qianyun’s reputation and left her half-dead.
Then, at a charity gala, the man stood surrounded by admirers.
Seeing a woman in a red dress, laughing and chatting, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The man others saw as merciless and vicious suddenly had tears in his eyes.
Someone noticed and took the initiative to introduce them. “Miss Ni, you know the new head of the Qin family, don’t you?”
Ni Qianyun glanced up. “I do.”
“He’s looking at you, and he’s coming this way. Would you like to say hello?”
Ni Qianyun smiled, her voice distant. “We’re not close.”
