In City A, the lights are dazzling and the pleasures endless, while powerful family clans are tangled in a web of influence as intricate as a maze.
Among them, the Yan family stands head and shoulders above the rest, firmly perched atop the pyramid of power.
As the Yan family's eldest legitimate son, Yan Qing should have had a smooth and easy life. But when he was just one year old, he was abducted and separated from his family for twenty years.
When he returned to the Yan family, his gaze was deep as a frozen pool, full of untold hardships. His bearing was exceptional, his sharp edge concealed.
The day after his return, at just twenty, he was entrusted with the Yan Group in its darkest hour. Facing a crisis from within and without, he acted decisively and ruthlessly, restoring the group's former glory in just two years and making it a legend in City A's business world.
At twenty-three, Yan Qing left the Yan family and founded N International Trade. In just three years, he made his new company a rising power capable of challenging the old-money clans.
At twenty-seven, he commanded the business world with an intimidating presence and showed no interest in women. Dubbed the “Living Yama,” he became the subject of widespread speculation about his sexuality.
A news report shattered the peace of high society. On a rainy night in the early hours, Yan Qing lost control of his car and crashed into a streetlamp. In the photo, a tall man held an umbrella, while a mysterious young woman beside him spoke with the traffic police with an air of intimacy. The story instantly dominated the headlines.
No one knew who the girl was, just as no one knew anything about Yan Qing's life before he turned twenty.
Then, at Old Master Yan's funeral, Yan Qing's father stepped forward to seize power.
At that moment, the girl from the photo stood up for him. “If the Yan family doesn't want him, I do.”
“Remember, my name is Situ Nianqing. Nian, as in ‘longing,’ and Qing, as in Yan Qing.”
What kind of upheaval will her arrival bring?
