A fallen heiress in a seductive cheongsam VS a ruthless, sharp-tongued heir to a wealthy family
[Reunion after years apart + happy ending + powerful man bows his head + contrast with his ascetic image + calculating male lead + clearheaded, decisive fallen heiress + mostly sweet, with some angst]
Huo Linyuan is a star everyone looks up to, while Lin Yu is his moon in the sky.
Everyone knows Huo Linyuan is untouchable and keeps his distance from women.
But no one knows that three years ago, he met the one woman who understood him perfectly.
They were well matched in background and ability, and quietly began a secret relationship.
Only then did Lin Yu glimpse the side hidden beneath his restrained exterior: wickedly playful, possessive, and insatiable.
After her family fell into ruin, heiress Lin Yu ran away.
He waited for three years. She endured those three years alone.

When Lin Yu saw Huo Linyuan again, she clung to his trouser leg, treating him as her only salvation as she drowned in her longing for him.
Huo Linyuan stood tall, pulled off his tie, and sneered. “Don’t regret it when you wake up.”
When she opened her eyes, reporters were swarming her. Huo Linyuan leaned in close, his expression grave and earnest. “Marry me. I’ll take care of everything.”

Lin Yu couldn’t tell whether Huo Linyuan loved her or was using her, not until that night.
The rain poured down, and a typhoon tore through the city.
Huo Linyuan went alone, bursting into the house like a storm. He broke a rib and was covered in blood, but got her to safety.
Not long afterward, the ever-calculating Huo Linyuan admitted defeat. He had lost because his heart had grown unsettled.
A year later, a chubby little child showed up at his door.
“Are you my dad?”
His assistant hurried to arrange a paternity test, but he strode forward and stopped him.
“No need. This is my child!”
“Even if it isn’t, I’ll claim them!”
