Hao Li, the capital’s powerful young heir, wields immense influence and ruthless methods. Everyone knows better than to cross him. He is so fiercely guarded about his private life that, for twenty-five years, no one has gotten close to him, until he sees Bi Zhitang at the lectern of an academic summit.

A cool, celibate genius professor, Bi Zhitang has stunning features and eyes as clear as if the world has never tainted them. In that instant, Hao Li understands what it means to fall in love at first sight, and what it means to “want to lock someone by your side.”

Bi Zhitang comes from a poor family, has an IQ of 187, and earned two doctorates by the age of twenty-two. He is distant and aloof, and has little patience for people. His first impression of Hao Li is terrible. The arrogant, overbearing man looks at him like a hunter sizing up his prey.

Hao Li uses every means at his disposal to get close to him: domineering, but never crossing the line; forceful, but never causing harm. He gives Bi Zhitang access to the finest academic resources in the world, while also trapping him at his side in an invisible cage.

Bi Zhitang thinks this is a deal he has been forced into, but gradually realizes that the look in Hao Li’s eyes holds an undisguised reverence and obsession.

He says, “I’ve only ever fallen for someone once in my life: the moment I saw you. The parts of me that aren’t clean were that way before I met you. Since meeting you, even looking at someone else for too long feels filthy.”
