The Mad Tyrant's Prisoner of the Key

The key he spent twelve years cultivating became the lock on his heart. Before Su Wanning set herself on fire, she left Lu Yanzhou, the man who controlled a technological empire, with one final riddle: “Shen Qingyuan's younger sister is the only key.” From that moment on, Lu Yanzhou spent twelve years carefully grooming the orphan Shen Leshu into a top memory-restoration specialist. Every step of her life was guided by him, all to shape her into the perfect tool for uncovering the truth behind his late wife's death. As the years passed, his cold plan changed beneath his lingering gaze. Lu Yanzhou watched her grow from a timid girl into a dazzling woman, repeatedly using the abilities he had given her to escape danger. The defenses around his heart began to crack. When her life hung by a thread, his vaunted reason collapsed completely, and he exposed himself without hesitation to snatch her back from a web of deadly threats. But as Shen Leshu delves into the depths of memory to uncover the truth about her brother Shen Qingyuan's mysterious death, she discovers that all the key memory fragments she has restored point to the bizarre death of Su Wanning. Even more suffocating is the fact that the man at the end of every clue, the one controlling everything from behind the scenes, is Lu Yanzhou. Clear-eyed, Shen Leshu searches for flaws in the gentle trap he has woven around her. Is every instinctive act of protection just to ensure that the “key” remains intact? Is the profound pain and love in his eyes merely a more skillful disguise? The two sink deeper into a deadly mix of suspicion and attraction, while even greater mysteries emerge one after another. Who truly initiated the “Genesis Project”? Was the simultaneous disappearance of Su Wanning and Shen Qingyuan a coincidence or inevitable? As an even greater shadow descends, they suddenly realize that even Lu Yanzhou himself may be nothing more than a particularly important piece on the chessboard...
