Domineering CEO + super-sweet romance + punishing scumbags + face-slapping + satisfying revenge + urban romance
At their first meeting, one glance made his frozen heart go completely out of control.
She was Lin Xi, the girlfriend of his friend Shen Ye: resilient and refined, struggling to survive in the city like a blade of grass. He was Li Mocheng, CEO of the Li Group, looking down on the world from the clouds. When he saw her stubbornly holding back tears in a restaurant, the ache in his heart became an addiction he couldn’t break.
Knowing he shouldn’t, Li Mocheng still couldn’t help hiding his consuming love behind the guise of friendship, greedily following her with his eyes. Then Shen Ye’s temper and selfishness completely shattered her heart. She left him without looking back and stumbled into the rain, utterly wretched.
“Come with me.” He stepped in forcefully and declared his claim: “Lin Xi, you’ve been mine since the moment I first saw you!” The relentless pursuit of a powerful, wealthy family descended upon her, but Lin Xi only wanted to run. He was her ex-boyfriend’s friend, and he stood on a summit she could never reach. Born in the countryside, how could she believe in a love so fierce it could consume her?
There was the warm protection of her childhood sweetheart, her ex-boyfriend’s harassment and revenge, a rich heiress’s ruthless schemes, and the Li family’s rigid class barriers. Every obstacle cut like a knife. Red-eyed, he begged, “Don’t choose him... please.” She built up her defenses, but he risked his life to take a fatal bullet for her.
When a conspiracy exposed her “shameful past” at a grand gala, Lin Xi stopped backing down. This time, she tore the lies apart with her own hands and, before everyone’s eyes, heard him kneel to propose: “Marry me. I’ll give you a worry-free life and love you faithfully until death.” From a wretched figure in the rain to Mrs. Li, she finally made that lofty god willingly descend into the mortal world for her, with no hope of return.
