[Eight-Year Age Gap | Old-School Romance | Unhinged Drama]
[Cool, Stubborn Wallflower & Aloof, Proud Golden Boy of Beijing]
Shen Yanxiu is the most untouchable man in Beijing’s elite circles, so noble and proud that no one dares reach for him.
Mu He is the Mu family’s adopted daughter, struggling to get by and meant to be a caged songbird for Shen Yanxiu’s friend.
One wrong step, and she accidentally spends a passionate night with Shen Yanxiu.
Fortunately, he doesn’t care about her.
Later, under pressure from her family, Mu He has no choice but to keep trying to seduce Shen Yanxiu’s friend.
But then
In a dim private room, a hand suddenly grips her waist. “Miss Mu, you’d be better off with me than with him.”
Mu He goes pale. Only then does she realize how sinister and terrifying Shen Yanxiu is beneath his indifferent mask.

Mu He knows that she and Shen Yanxiu come from completely different worlds.
Determined to end this secret relationship, she goes to Shen Yanxiu’s mother.
Calmly, she says, “Give me a hundred million, and I’ll leave him.”
That very night, the news reaches Shen Yanxiu.
By the floor-to-ceiling windows, he braces both hands beside Mu He, eyes bloodshot. “Why settle for a hundred million? Marry me, and I’ll give you my life.”

Shen Yanxiu thinks his fling with Mu He is nothing more than a passing affair, yet every time she gets involved with another man, his eyes turn red.
No one knows how desperately and frantically he longs for her in the dead of night.
From beginning to end, he is the only one trapped in this unending madness.
