Adorable, pampered heiress x powerful, guiding figure from Beijing’s elite circle | Ten-year age gap | Utterly doting
Everyone in Beijing’s elite circle knew Ye Zhimo. The youngest daughter of the Ye family was beautiful without being flashy, her bright almond-shaped eyes full of spring sunshine. Her family had treasured and spoiled her since childhood, barely letting the wind touch her. She was famous in their circle as a delicate beauty.
Meanwhile, the name Li Hengbo stood for absolute power and command in Beijing’s elite circles. Ten years older than Ye Zhimo, the head of the Li family was always cold and distant, keeping everyone at arm’s length. Rumor had it that he cared only about profit and had not a trace of warmth in him.
But no one expected a ruthless magnate who kept women at a distance to fall for Ye Zhimo and spoil her without limits.
The rumors grew wilder: Ye Zhimo casually mentioned that she liked a limited-edition jewelry collection, and the next day Li Hengbo had the entire collection delivered to her. She wanted to break into the fashion world, so Li Hengbo pulled together resources overnight and built her a brand of her own. Anyone in the industry who dared to make things difficult for her would disappear from the scene within three days.
His indulgence was blatant, and he made no attempt to hide his possessiveness. If anyone at a banquet dared to look at Ye Zhimo for too long, Li Hengbo would make them pay. Someone privately joked that Ye Zhimo was spoiled, and the next day the Li family had them blacklisted across the industry.
To outsiders, he was a ruthless titan of capital. But to Ye Zhimo, he was a fiercely protective guardian who indulged her without limit, treasured her delicate nature, and kept her beneath his wing, giving her a degree of devotion unmatched in Beijing’s elite circles.
