The Buddhist Heir of the Capital's Exclusive Devotion

Shen Qingyi, the cherished daughter of the Shen family, a scholarly clan with a century of history in Jiangnan, was just like her name: clear and gentle. She had grown up lovingly protected by her family, a well-behaved young woman. She headed north to study, only to unexpectedly fall into the web spun by Fu Jingshen, the all-powerful “ascetic Buddha” of the capital's elite circles.

More than ten years her senior, he was refined and aloof, stern and reserved, and the unquestioned head of the Fu family. Everyone thought he had no desires, but they did not know that he had long been plotting to claim that figure as delicate as the misty rain of Jiangnan.

He wanted nothing from her family background. He wanted her simply because she was herself. With an overbearing, unquestionable authority, he entered her life, arranged every detail with meticulous care, and drew her beneath his wing, spoiling her without restraint.

At first, Shen Qingyi was bewildered and afraid. Gradually, she realized that behind this “taking her by force” lay the utmost devotion and protection. She tentatively extended her little claws, occasionally playing small tricks to test his limits, but he saw through her every time and ensnared her with an even deeper love.

This is the patient hunt of an apex predator for a precious pearl, and a sweet battle of love and possession between a sheltered bookish girl and the capital's ascetic Buddha.
