Mutual seduction, top-tier romantic tension, sweet romance, and a CEO who fiercely takes her side
After catching her boyfriend cheating with her stepsister and discovering that her father is siphoning off her mother’s inheritance, the once-cherished heiress becomes an abandoned pawn.
She wipes away her tears and sets her sights on the “ascetic Buddha” revered by everyone in Beijing’s elite circles. “Chu Qingyan, want to form an alliance?”
Late at night in his office, he holds her close, his voice hoarse and broken. “If we lose, you’re mine.”
When she shorts the Gu family’s stock and is surrounded, she shouts, “Make the Chu Group go bankrupt!”
When someone on the board questions her, he slams the table and roars, “Her decisions are my decisions!”
When her revenge uncovers the truth behind the previous generation’s deaths, he stakes his entire business empire on her, eyes bloodshot. “Nian Sha, I’ll protect you for the rest of my life.”
It turns out the aloof ascetic only breaks his vows for her. Their fateful encounter as teenagers had already bound them together. “Mr. Chu, didn’t you say you’d never fall for a woman?”
He kisses her, his prayer beads pressing into her palm. “I admit defeat when it comes to you.”
