[Older man + powerful and influential + devoted to each other + the one on top lowers his head]
[Brilliant, ambitious beauty × unhinged tycoon]
Shen Xitang goes abroad to clear her head and escape her family’s arranged marriage, only to stumble upon a gravely injured man.
He has handsome features and a face and physique that are both top-tier.
Miss Shen has some wicked ideas. She takes him home, cares for him attentively, and takes advantage of him while he’s vulnerable.
That month feels like a dream. The two are inseparable. Just as he is about to reveal who he really is, she suddenly vanishes without a trace.
They meet again at his nephew’s engagement party. The woman’s smile is radiant, her beauty boldly striking. As she follows his nephew’s lead, she calls him, “Uncle.”
Xie Jingyao gives her a cold look. “You little liar.”
Shen Xitang goes rigid. How could it be him?
It turns out he is none other than Xie Jingyao, the cold-hearted, ruthless head of the immensely powerful Xie family.
The car is cramped and dim. The man reaches out and grips her waist.
“Do you remember how you played me back then?”
For countless nights, she and Xie Jingyao slept with their heads nestled together. With him, Shen Xitang could do as she pleased and follow her heart.
She had toyed with his feelings, and assumed he would take revenge. But Xie Jingyao repeatedly came to her rescue, loving and doting on her just as he always had.
“Go ahead and do what you think is right.”
Everyone says Shen Xitang has climbed to the highest branch in Xijing. But Xie Jingyao says, “It’s not Shen Xitang who needs Xie Jingyao. I, Xie Jingyao, am the one who needs Shen Xitang.”
Super nice.
