[An innocent, rebellious bunny girl vs. a king returning for revenge]
Five years ago, before Wei Xia’s parents got into trouble, they promised her to the Li family’s illegitimate son, Li Yan, to strengthen the friendship between their families. But Li Yan, her childhood sweetheart, cheated on her with his manager right in front of her, while she grew increasingly close to his older brother, who had returned to China.
When Li Yunze was fourteen, his family drove him abroad and named his illegitimate younger brother, Li Yan, as heir instead. After his mother was brutally killed, he followed his powerful uncle through Myanmar, the United States, Britain, and other countries, building an overseas business empire before quietly returning home. Just as everyone thought he could never make waves, he stepped back into the game, claimed his younger brother’s fiancée, took revenge on every guilty party, and carved his way to the throne.

At the engagement party, while the families were being introduced, Wei Xia learned that Li Yunze was her fiancé’s older brother. Their relationship, which had been merely flirtatious until then, suddenly became far more complicated.
In a private restroom stall at the hotel, the man pinned her against the door and kissed her forcefully.
Li Yunze’s aggressive voice whispered seductively in her ear, “If you don’t want your fiancé to find out, don’t move.”
