[Coercive Possession + Extreme Size Difference + Faked Death and Regret + Rivalry for Her Affections + Wealthy CEO]

The day he bought her for a billion, the tyrant of District Nine thought he’d acquired a desperate little caged bird.

But when the devastating fire broke out, he clutched the charred diamond collar and went completely mad.

[Synopsis]

Ruan Qing was treated as collateral and tossed into an underground auction aboard a cruise ship in international waters.

Below the stage, Huo Chen, ruler of District Nine, didn’t even look up. He casually tossed down a check for a billion. “Send her to my penthouse, cage and all.”

But during the fire at the Huo family’s centennial celebration,

she activated the dormant Trojan horse without hesitation, coldly watching the cage that had imprisoned her for countless days and nights burn to ash.

“Huo Chen, your billion can’t buy my life.”

Three years later, at the largest underground casino in District Nine,

Ruan Qing, dressed in a sharp black suit, won ten million in chips with a stunningly calculated gamble. She linked arms with another charming villain and smiled radiantly.

The doors were kicked open with a crash.

The once-arrogant man in the suit stormed through the crowd, eyes bloodshot.

As all the powerful guests watched in shock, Huo Chen threw away his gun and slammed both knees onto the floor strewn with broken glass.

He clutched a corner of her skirt, his voice breaking like that of a beaten dog:

“Qingqing... I’ll give you my life. Please, just look at me one more time. Will you?”

Ruan Qing looked down at him and sneered:

“Too late, Mr. Huo. I don’t love you.”
