At twenty-two, Ling Yang returns to the side of Xia Yuan, the “adoptive father” who abandoned him ten years ago, bearing a body covered in scars and a deep-seated hatred.
One is the seemingly gentle head of a business empire who controls everything; the other is a rebellious young man on the surface, broken inside and bent on revenge.
Ten years ago, Xia Yuan took Ling Yang from an orphanage and gave him a life of luxury, only to abandon him without mercy when Ling Yang depended on him most.
Ten years later, Ling Yang carefully plots and proceeds step by step, determined to drag Xia Yuan from his pedestal and make him taste what it feels like to be abandoned.

“Ling Yang, I never stopped loving you, even if I did it the wrong way.”
