He was the man in charge of the Huo Group, raised by his family from childhood to be a “tool.”
He knew possession, but not love.
In his previous life, he fell in love with a girl.
Both her parents were dead, and the only person left to protect her was her older brother, a police officer.
Yet he dragged her away from her ordinary life in the cruelest way possible:
He took her by force, severed her social ties, stripped her of her freedom,
and imprisoned her in a lavish manor, treating her as his one and only possession.
Under his obsessive “love,” she withered away little by little.
In the end, she died young.
He went mad.
He poured in his money, his life, and every last shred of decency, all to build a machine that could turn back time.
This time, he would bring her back,
to the moment she made her last escape.
The girl returned.
She carried the memories of her previous life and wounds all over her body.
She no longer loved him. She wouldn't even look at him.
And at last, he panicked.
He could control an empire, but not her heart.
He wanted to atone, to get close to her, to warm her heart again,
but she only asked coldly:
“Huo Sinian, are you trying to save me, or kill me all over again?”
Xia Wanxing no longer belonged to Huo Sinian.
