[Modern romance + devoted love + CEO + tormented romance, sweet pampering, feel-good novel] Intern reporter Su Xiao secretly photographs business tycoon Jiang Chen for an assignment, only to find herself entangled with him after one reckless night. The aloof, germaphobic CEO is immune to everyone but the “ordinary” heroine, who exerts a fatal attraction over him. He forces her to be his secret lover but forbids her from falling for him. She runs; he pursues. Misunderstandings and hurt follow one after another. Only after her heart has turned cold and she leaves does she discover that she is pregnant. Five years later, she returns with their child, and the once-arrogant man waits outside her home night after night, eyes red. “Su Xiao,” he says hoarsely, “my germophobia has only ever failed me when it comes to you.” A conquest of both body and soul, with flirtation and sweet affection woven through the tormented romance, blending exhilaration with heartache.
