When Shen Man, a professor of art history, stepped into the Colleone family’s private gallery, she thought it was just another routine appraisal.
It wasn’t until Enzo Colleone had her detained in the family’s ancient estate in Florence that she understood:
She had become his most precious “acquisition.”
He was the youngest godfather in the Italian Mafia. Unable to understand emotions, he didn’t know how to love. He only knew how to possess.
She was the East’s most levelheaded scholar, holding on to the last of her dignity and reason inside a gilded cage.
“You understood my paintings,” he said, a fanatical fire kindling in his icy eyes. “So you have to understand my whole life.”
His ruthless abduction was only the surface. Beneath his careful schemes lay years of buried madness and trauma.
When escape came at the price of blood, and tenderness concealed an even deeper need for control, Shen Man gradually discovered, through countless days and nights in captivity:
This cage held more than just her. It also imprisoned a man who would never learn how to love.
“Stay, or be destroyed.”
That was Enzo Colleone’s only rule.
And she was determined to carve out a way to survive beyond it.

Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
It's really beautiful. It's not a loss if you invest in it.
Not bad. The author should update more. Two episodes a day are not enough. It would be better to have 10 episodes 👍
Super beautiful, looks good from the inside out
It is not recommended to read. It is full of stars because it is not easy for the author to write. It is not recommended because the reader's time is also time.
I came across this book accidentally. The author's writing style is very good and his logical thinking is very clear. It is the first time I have seen such a well-written novel.
