Half-Awake in the Floating Light

Yu Xiwan, the cherished princess of the Yu family, is the brightest gem in Shanghai's elite circles. At her brother Yu Chengye's birthday banquet, one glance was all it took for her to fall for the man leaning in the shadows: He Xingzhou. With his stern features and aloof air, he is her brother's most trusted friend, as well as the investment banking world's dreaded “Cold-Faced Yama.” Yu Xiwan falls head over heels on the spot and launches the most public and outrageous pursuit Shanghai has ever seen.

She blocks his entrance with a supercar? He Xingzhou doesn't even glance her way. She gives him priceless jewels? He returns them unopened. She spends a fortune just to make him smile? He won't even twitch an eyebrow. Her brother warns her, her best friend worries, and society mocks her, but Yu Xiwan couldn't care less. She knows only that He Xingzhou is the tribulation fate has dealt her, and she has to make him hers!

What she doesn't know is that this “love at first sight” at the birthday banquet was a scheme He Xingzhou had been laying for three years. He planned every step, luring her into his web. At last, when her burning heart begins to crack his icy facade, all she finds beneath it are deeply buried lies and surging undercurrents. As long-buried family grudges and a brutal business war engulf them, the proud little princess finally realizes that this “mad pursuit of a husband” was a dazzling trap tailored for her from the very beginning. So which of them is truly lost in it? And how will this high-stakes gamble in the name of love end?
