I Used Him to Pay Off a Debt, and Now the CEO Is Pursuing Me Relentlessly

Lu Heng first noticed Su Nian because the beauty mark at the corner of his eye looked so much like the one on the white moonlight he could never let go of. Under the pretense of sponsoring him, Lu Heng kept this bright, stubborn finance prodigy by his side, lavishing him with every luxury while begrudging him a single sincere word. To Lu Heng, he was merely the perfect substitute, a possession to be controlled at will. Su Nian understood his place, yet couldn’t stop himself from falling deeper. He quietly used his talents to support Lu Heng, knowing every show of tenderness was an illusion, but still hoping he might become the exception. Until one stormy night, Lu Heng tossed a “Deed of Gift” in front of him. His icy words were merciless: “Su Nian, I gave you this life of luxury. Now it’s time to pay me back.” To save the Lu family, he personally treated the man he loved like merchandise and handed him over to a sleazy business partner to settle a debt. That night, Su Nian used a shard of a broken wine bottle to cut through the beauty mark at the corner of his eye, severed every tie of affection, and fled under cover of darkness, vanishing without a trace. Three years later, at an international financial summit, the mysterious investor Alex Su returned with an edge. Behind gold-rimmed glasses, a scar had replaced the beauty mark at the corner of his eye. Cold and aloof, he had become Lu Heng’s most formidable rival. Only then did Lu Heng realize that the person he’d lost was never a substitute. He’d lost his entire world. From then on, the business tycoon became a madly devoted, obedient dog. He hurt himself to atone, knelt in public, and surrendered his power, using every means at his disposal to beg Su Nian to come back. “Niannian, I was wrong. Please give me one more chance.” Su Nian looked down at him and poured red wine over his head. “Lu Heng, you look pathetic.” Betrayal and sacrifice taken to the extreme, a humiliated lover begging to win him back, and a rebirth from the ashes. Only in the end did he understand: The beauty mark was his obsession, the scar was his brand, and Su Nian was the only one who mattered.
