Out of Control: The CEO Monk Falls for Mortal Desires

The Buddhist Heir Falls to Temptation: The CEO’s Exclusive Salvation

[One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s first, marriage before love, the male lead seems like a Buddhist saint but is actually a dangerous madman, intense push and pull]

To save her family, Wen Yu was offered up as tribute to Shen Xu, heir to one of Jingbei’s most powerful families.

Prayer beads looped around his wrist, he was as serene and aloof as a Buddha, a living legend whom no one in the business world dared to profane. He handed her a contract, his tone utterly calm. “Three years of marriage. We don’t interfere in each other’s lives.”

He saw her as the only “vulgar thing” in his perfect life, and as an ambitious woman scheming to climb into his bed.

She saw him as a cold machine devoid of human emotion, and an ornate cage that kept her from freedom.

Until the day she appeared at an auction with unyielding grace, dazzling everyone and drawing the attention of countless eligible young men.

That night, Shen Xu held her captive in his arms. His prayer beads wound around her waist, and his scorching breath burned her ear. His usually restrained voice was hoarse, mingling with his uncontrollable heartbeat:

“Wen Yu... teach me what it means to fall in love.”

Later, all of Jingbei witnessed how the saintly man, untouched by worldly desires, went mad and lost himself for the only “vulgar thing” he cherished, kneeling to kiss her fingertips.
