On a stormy night, with nowhere else to turn and her dress soaked through, Yu Liao knocked on the hardest-to-enter door in Hong Kong.

Inside, the man casually turned a string of rare agarwood Buddhist beads in his hand. His eyes, behind gold-rimmed glasses, were cold.

Yu Liao knelt beside his legs. Her fingers trembled, but she resolutely climbed onto his knee. "Second Master, please."

Pei Yan looked down at her from above. His fingertip opened the top button of her collar. His voice was refined, yet carried a chilling danger:

"Miss Yu, you put on this layer of refined 'clothing' yourself. If you want to climb into my bed, you'll have to learn how to take it off... piece by piece."

Later, Hong Kong was turned upside down.

Yu Liao got her revenge, left behind a check and those Buddhist beads, and walked away without hesitation. "Mr. Pei, we've settled our accounts. The game is over."

For the first time, the usually composed and dignified Second Master Pei went mad.

He searched every last inch of the city and dragged her back. His eyes bloodshot, he held her tightly in his arms:

"You think you can run after you provoked me? Yu Liao, you're not leaving!"

# He thought she was a bird in his cage, never realizing he'd already become her willing captive #
