Everyone in the business circle is afraid of Gu Heng, the president of Hengyu Group, who acts ruthlessly and never makes losses. His life creed: What I want must be mine.
Until he met Lin Yuan.
In that business case competition, she pointed out in public a fatal flaw in his "classic acquisition" three years ago that had never been discovered. Gu Heng thought he was a hunter, so he transferred her to his side, trapped her with a confidentiality agreement, monitored her with transparent glass, and threatened her with the future of her roommate. He used all his power to weave an airtight web, making everyone think that this intern was the canary in his cage.
But they didn't know that Lin Yu'an was speculating in stocks at the age of fourteen and earned his first million at the age of sixteen. After entering "Gu Heng" in the search bar at the age of eighteen, he spent three years studying everything about him. She applied for Qingcheng University, participated in competitions, and entered his company. Every step she took was a carefully designed chess game. Gu Heng thought he had set a dragnet, but little did he know that from the moment they met, he was the one who walked into the trap.
From forced possession to life and death, it took Gu Heng decades to learn that true love is not control, but that she can leave at any time, but never leaves. It took Lin Yu'an decades to answer his question back then - "Is everything you did to me a repayment of kindness?" "No. Never."
This is not a story about who tamed whom, but about two lonely souls who learned to love each other over the long years.
