Capital's most pampered heiress vs. genius director

She is the most flamboyant heiress in the capital's elite circle, born at the very center of the glittering world. Suitors swarm around her, yet she has never stopped for anyone.

He is the entertainment industry's sharpest genius director, aloof and proud. His films capture every kind of beauty and romance, yet he has never been willing to bow to anyone.

When they first meet, she's being pestered by a suitor. Fed up, she casually grabs He Shuqing beside her and kisses him.

The next day, the trending topic explodes: #CapitalHeiressForciblyKissesGeniusDirector.

She smiles with captivating charm. "It was just a bit of fun. Don't take it seriously."

But he stares at her, his eyes frighteningly dark. "If you can play, then I can play along."

Later, she walks the red carpet with a newly crowned Best Actor, stunning everyone.

He stands apart from the crowd in a sharp suit, his eyes roiling with barely restrained possessiveness.

The media asks, "Director He, didn't you say you would never bow to anyone?"

Watching her link arms with someone else, he says softly, "I admit defeat."

"She's no rose. She's fire, and she burns me until I'm willing to bow."
