Reunion after a long separation + possessive pursuit + devoted, obsessive love + regret-and-chase arc
Synopsis:
[Clear-headed, stunning heiress with a knack for seduction × obsessive, devoted tech tycoon]
Ruan Mian was once the most dazzling rose in Beijing's elite circles. The most humiliating moment of her life came when she ran into Lu Shiyan at the negotiating table.
The impoverished young man she'd once coldly abandoned had transformed into a tech tycoon worth hundreds of billions.
For her family's sake, Ruan Mian swallowed her pride, presented the proposal she'd prepared, and tried to still her trembling fingers.
The man at the head of the table had a stern face. He didn't even glance at the documents, casually crushing the cigarette between his fingers instead.
"It seems President Ruan has forgotten," Lu Shiyan said with icy eyes and a mocking tone. "You left so decisively five years ago. Isn't it a little late to come begging me now?"
At that moment, Ruan Mian thought he hated her with all his heart.
When rumors spread through their circle that the Ruan family was on the verge of collapse and Ruan Mian was about to marry her childhood friend for the sake of money,
the man drove like a madman, cornered her against a wall, and, eyes bloodshot, coaxed her in a near-pleading voice: "I'll fill the holes in the Ruan family's finances. The engagement is off. Be my Mrs. Lu."
Everyone said the marriage was Lu Shiyan's revenge and Ruan Mian's penance.
Until one day after their wedding, she accidentally activated the smart speaker in his study.
From it came the sound of her playfully flirting with him five years ago, followed by his whispered words every night.
It turned out his so-called revenge was nothing more than a cage he'd built around her, all in the name of loving her too deeply.
Lu Shiyan had once thought Ruan Mian was an elusive wind. Countless times, he had tried in the darkness to snuff out this sick obsession.
But once he had enough power, he finally caught that elusive breeze with his own hands.
"To me, you are the only thing I will ever obsess over."
