Knowing Your Heart
A galaxy-deep love, from possession to letting go
Wen Zhiyi is MIT’s youngest PhD in financial engineering. On her first day back in China, her brother “sells” her off to Huayao Financial Holdings, where she becomes Jiang Xingchuan’s personal assistant.
He is Jiangcheng’s most aloof and desireless man of power. Back when he was a visiting professor at MIT, he fell in love with her at first sight, but hid his feelings behind the mask of the cold, strict “Professor Jiang.” He gave her an A+ in class, then warned her afterward that she was “too emotional.” When she returned to China, he could no longer conceal his possessiveness.
“I want you, and I want the rest of your life.”
For her, he shut down every risk-control terminal at Huayao, climbed through a window to shield her from the rain, and covered a trillion-yuan shortfall. He also learned to let go: giving her ten days of freedom, ten days to choose, and then ten more days to entrust him with the rest of her life.
She is the starry river, and he is the galaxy. She runs, he pursues; she stops, and he falls to his knees.
From Jiangcheng to Iceland, from MIT to Svalbard, from torrential rain to the aurora, from possession to letting go, from fingers intertwined to fingers clasped tight.
Ten years later, Huayao launches the Galaxy·Vera AI System, naming a trillion-yuan empire after her.
For his tenth proposal, he strings ten pink diamonds into a necklace and loops it three times around her heart, as if encircling the entire universe.
“Zhiyi, come into my arms.”
“For the rest of our lives.”
This is a lavish marriage alliance between four great families, and a path to redemption where an obsessive CEO breaks himself apart and remakes himself for love.
It is possessive desire, climbing through her window on a stormy night, and also the tender surrender of “I’ll respect your choice,” spoken outside a glass house beneath the aurora.
