[Untamed, Alluring Heiress VS. Handsome, Tragic Powerhouse]
[A High-Stakes Push and Pull, Flirtation and Exploitation]
Everyone in Jing City knows that Li Yan, the Li family's heiress, is a notorious player. She changes boyfriends constantly, and every one of them resembles the unattainable first love she can't forget.
Then she runs into Ji Ye for the first time at a bar: the devastatingly handsome, tragic head of the GC Group. Eagerly, she approaches him with a flirtatious smile. “Hey, handsome. Want to get to know each other?”
Ji Ye indifferently tosses her business card aside. “Not interested.”
The second time they meet, Li Yan is introduced as Ji Ye's future sister-in-law. “I'm not interested in what's already someone else's,” he says.
Later, after she keeps deliberately flirting with him, the two schemers, both masters of their craft, begin a high-stakes game of push and pull.
She uses him to gain an advantage.
He deliberately lures her into falling for him, hoping she'll forget the unattainable first love in her heart and help him achieve his own aims.
Neither of them is good-hearted. They'll do whatever it takes to get what they want.
When her first love returns from abroad, Ji Ye gently strokes the blue ring on her hand, his gaze darkening without him even realizing it.
After deliberately flirting with him to secure control of the Li family, Li Yan discovers that Ji Ye has been plotting from the very beginning. She immediately walks away, smiling brightly. “President Ji, we're even.”
But the once dignified, aloof man reddens his eyes and pins her tightly against his chest, his voice hoarse:
“You were the one who started this game, but how it ends... is up to me.”
Li Yan knows exactly what Ji Ye is thinking. She wants him to be unable to forget her, to love her forever.
[Content note: The heroine isn't a conventional strong female lead. This is a story about two equally powerful leads. She has an unattainable first love, and she's no saint: she'll use anyone or anything for her own gain.]
