From Enemy to Devotee, the Suit-Wearing Tough Guy Bows to Her

[Cross-border romance with devoted leads | size and age differences | Western daddy-type thug × Eastern beauty | possessive, coercive romance] Nan Zhi is simply traveling abroad when she accidentally ends up in Y Country's underground black market. Victor takes a fancy to her and brings her back to his estate. From then on, she loses her freedom completely. He's cold and domineering, never hiding his possessiveness. He keeps her like a pet in a cage. She tries to escape? He breaks her wings without hesitation. She has a boyfriend? He breaks them up and tears everything apart. Someone covets her? He slits their throat with a single stroke, making them disappear from the world forever. In the eyes of others, Victor is the heir to a top Brahmin family and a religious leader revered by the masses. (This isn't India. The male lead is white; the caste system is just borrowed as a concept.) But in the shadows, he's a bloody tyrant who controls the underworld and the arms trade. Since childhood, he's believed in neither gods nor love, with only power and slaughter in his eyes. He once sneered coldly, “How could I ever fall in love with a woman? She's nothing but a pet.” But as this “pet” refuses to submit again and again, fighting back with all her might, his reason is slowly consumed. This man, who believes in no gods and knows nothing of love, makes an exception for her. For the first time, he picks up Buddhist prayer beads and devoutly chants before countless deities, praying only for her safety. For the first time, he lays down his butcher's knife, just to give her a lifetime of peace. From the most cruel control to the most devout protection, he falls deeper step by step, willingly transforming from a demon into a believer. This is an inescapable entanglement, and the complete story of a man who never knew how to love learning to love and bowing his head for her.
