On a business trip, Su Nianwan is kidnapped in Southeast Asia and becomes the “property” of Shen Ye Zhou, a mob boss.
He is the king of this lawless underworld, cold-blooded and merciless, and he never negotiates. “Run again and I'll break your legs. I'll keep you for the rest of your life.” He says it calmly, as if stating an unchangeable fact.
She hates him to the core and tries every way she can to escape, fight back, and outsmart him. He gives her the best room, the best food, and the best clothes. He even lets her call her family. Su Nianwan tells herself it's Stockholm syndrome, a physiological response, a survival instinct. But when he takes a bullet for her, when she sees him secretly protecting her parents without ever taking credit, when she realizes her eyes have begun to follow him wherever he goes...
Su Nianwan finally admits it: she's fallen in love with someone she should never have loved.
This is a story of conquest and surrender, hatred and desire, darkness and redemption. At the end of possessive love, they choose each other.
