Pei Zhan is a powerful big shot in the capital, with immense influence, ruthless methods, and an iron-fisted style. As president of Boyuan Group and heir to the Pei family, he is someone countless people scramble to curry favor with.
At his side are a childhood friend who follows him with obsessive devotion, a calculating friend’s widow, and a daughter with no blood relation to him. Yet he loves none of them.
Only Yu Zhixia, a Peking University graduate who joins Boyuan Group, manages to enter his heart without warning. They meet by chance, and things get off to a far from pleasant start, but Pei Zhan may have fallen for her from the very beginning.
Though Zhixia comes from Luocheng, she is resolute, self-assured, bright, and open-minded, a wonderful daughter whom her parents cherish.
She has no illusions about marrying into a wealthy family and no interest in currying favor with the powerful. She also detests the scheming among the great clans. It goes against her values and her plans for her life, so when Pei Zhan boldly declares his feelings, she refuses him without hesitation.
But fate has other plans, and by a twist of circumstances, Zhixia starts dating Pei Zhan’s younger half-brother first.
By the time Pei Zhan finds out, the two have already fallen for each other.
Caught between the woman he loves and the younger brother he has spoiled since childhood, Pei Zhan is furious and helpless. But he has never failed to get what he wants, even if he has to resort to a few tricks...
