I slapped my sworn-enemy CEO's revenge list down on his desk. “President Ling, care to explain? Are the three blood-red tally marks after my name your revenge KPI?”
He snatched the list away with a cold expression, but when I was attacked, he used his own body to take the fatal blow for me!
All because we'd been forcibly bound by a life-sharing pact: when I'm hurt, he feels pain; if I die, he dies!
From then on, the whole company watched the aloof CEO undergo a dramatic change. He kept an eye on me like a parent watching a child during meetings, insisted we share a room on business trips, and even coldly stopped me from drinking iced coffee. “Don't push your luck. If you hurt, I hurt too.”
Then our ancestral jade awakened, and we were dragged into a battle to protect worlds across dimensions.
He was an ancient dragon-blooded guardian who had slumbered for a thousand years, while I was the “Key to the World,” the one who defined the boundary between reality and illusion.
The apocalypse drew near. The mastermind behind it all marked us as “anomalous variables that must be eliminated,” and the pursuit never let up!
At our darkest hour, he pinned me against a wall, eyes red and voice hoarse.
“Yuan Lingyi, once this battle is over... we'll settle the score over you stealing that kiss from me.”
[A note for those following the updates]
The story's progression: from [cutthroat urban business rivalries] to [saving the world across dimensions], then to [building a life together in the everyday world]. The excitement never lets up, and the transitions are seamless!
What to look forward to: two powerful leads joining forces, a bond written in fate, explosive twists, mysteries to unravel in a richly imagined world, and the ultimate romance of “no matter how vast the world, you are where I end up.”
A reading tip: If you love romantic tension in an urban setting, dive right in. The romance runs throughout. If you prefer epic storytelling, adventure, and mysteries, the secret-realm arcs in the middle will have you on the edge of your seat!
Quite interesting! Good!
