[Forced love + rival suitors in a bloody showdown + powerful man bows his head]
[A captivating, flirtatious beauty adored by all x a powerful elite]
Shen Zhiyi was a beauty carefully groomed by Shen Cheng, a plaything used by a distant branch of the Shen family to curry favor with the powerful. He had a breathtaking face and a naturally seductive air. His governess said he was destined to become the powerful men’s plaything, a creeping vine who could only survive by clinging to those above him.
He hated this life, but had no choice. Everyone was forcing him into it, and day by day he sank deeper. All he could do was obediently please one person after another, struggling to survive in the mire.
He only wanted to live a decent life. If he was destined to depend on others, why not make them work for him? Using himself as bait, Shen Zhiyi stirred up a storm and watched, step by step, as the powerful men who adored him raised him to the top.
