Betrayed by her boyfriend and best friend, who pushed her into the clutches of kidnappers, Jiang Qingwan thought she was as good as dead, only to crash into arms that smelled of cedar.
Fu Chengxun, a ruthless, hot-tempered CEO at the top of the business world, fought the kidnappers with his bare hands, fierce as a blade, yet was endlessly tender when protecting her. The pocket watch engraved with the character “An” over his heart concealed a wound that had never healed in ten years. His desperate efforts to protect her seemed like an attempt to atone, but his heart had long since fallen for her.
He crushed the rumors accusing her of plagiarism, built her a private studio, and stood up to her family, who drained her dry. He even handed her the keys to a luxury home on the top floor of a CBD tower. “This is your security. You can kick me out whenever you want.”
But when a tragedy from ten years ago came to light, the sinister schemes of a distant relative in the Fu family and the mysterious return of her vanished boyfriend cast a shadow of conspiracy over this tale of redemption. Was he protecting her because she resembled someone from his past, or was she the light he was destined to find?
When a thorny rose meets an obsessive CEO, there’s no melodramatic stand-in romance, only a mad devotion that says, “You’re the only one.” As the layers of conspiracy are peeled away, his obsession collides with her resilience. Their love, born in the depths of despair, will rewrite both their fates and become a light that warms the world.
