[Beautiful, Talented, and Tragic Fallen Heiress vs. Sickly, Obsessive, Unhinged Financial Tycoon]
Jiang Muzhi is an heir to Wudang Mountain’s Daoist medical tradition. Her silver needles can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bone, her fists and kicks can take down eight or ten burly men, and she’s an academic prodigy.
But no one knows that this fearsome young woman was once the cherished daughter of one of Haicheng’s top-tier families. Her father, a gold-digging freeloader, abandoned her, her mother died tragically, and in the end she was adopted by a Daoist priest from Qingyun Temple.
Then, on a stormy night, she saves the barely breathing Qi Jingmo by the river, and he won’t leave her alone from then on.
Qi Jingmo pins her in a corner, his voice hoarse. “You saved me, so you have to take responsibility for me... for the rest of your life.”
When he slips a proposal ring onto her slender finger, she leaves behind a note saying she’s going to Milan to focus on her career, then walks away without looking back.
Three years later, he’s a powerful new Wall Street financier who can move the markets at will, and he returns to the capital with a vengeance.
Meanwhile, she has become the most sought-after marriage prospect in elite circles.
Everyone waits to see how this rising tycoon will avenge himself for being dumped.
Instead, they see him pin her against the floor-to-ceiling window, eyes bloodshot, fingers gripping her chin. His voice is obsessive and unhinged:
“Want to marry into another family? Did you ask me first?”
The next second, he pulls her into his arms and holds her tight, his voice hoarse and pleading. “Don’t leave me... I’ll give you my life. I’ll tear apart everyone who hurt you, limb by limb... Just please don’t abandon me again, okay?”
Jiang Muzhi’s gaze turns sharp. “I want to reclaim what belongs to me. They’ll pay for what they’ve done.”
Qi Jingmo pulls a silver blade from behind his waist and puts it in her palm. He presses her fingers around the blade, his tone tinged with a crazed excitement. “Wife, I’ve worked out every last detail of your assets. I’ll bury the bodies for you. Who’s next? I’ll get ready.”
