At twenty-two, Su Yaotiao is famous in Beijing’s elite circles for being a pushover adopted daughter.
Her fiancé cheats on her, and her family demands she repay their debts with her body.
Overnight, she drains the Su family’s assets and knocks out her adoptive father’s front teeth.
She goes from a soft touch everyone can push around to a ruthless, fierce woman.
To evade capture, she even sleeps with Fu Jingyu, the young heir in Beijing’s elite circles whom no one dares cross.
Everyone waits for a laugh, certain that Su Yaotiao will eventually be killed by the King of Hell himself.
But at night, driven wild by her cool, intoxicating scent, Fu Jingyu pins her to the sofa and kisses her until she can barely breathe…
…
Her new boss is famous for being aloof, strict, demanding, and abstinent.
Signing her on as a risk-control consultant is a business deal. The ideal relationship is one where employer and employee know their place and never cross the line.
In the contract, they choose their words with care and keep their boundaries clear: she helps him control risk.
Outside the contract, they push and pull to the limit, always on the verge of crossing the line. He becomes her greatest risk.
She wants to lie flat, but he says they have to work overtime.
She wants to retire, but he says they need to renew the contract.
She tries to run away, but he locks down the entire city.
He gives her top-of-the-line hacker equipment, yet she only wants to get away more and more.
After she’s caught and brought back from her failed escape, he says he wants to renew the contract indefinitely.
Su Yaotiao is baffled. “Mr. Fu, the contract never said lifetime after-sales service was included, did it?”
Fu Jingyu wraps her in his arms and presses a hand to her racing pulse.
“Yaotiao, let’s stop being a pretend employer and become soulmates.”
“Yaotiao, from now on, I’ll settle all the risks in your life.”
“Yaotiao, let’s try for a baby and have a, ”
“Get lost! I want to retire and lie flat!”
