The first half of Gu Yayan’s life was an inferno, spent trapped in the hell of her birth family. Her scumbag father treated her as a bargaining chip to curry favor with the powerful, while her vicious half-sister framed her at every turn. To save her critically ill mother, she was forced into Qin Beichen’s twisted prison.
He was a powerful ruler of the wealthy elite, ruthless, paranoid, and possessive to the point of madness. He locked her in a gilded cage and subjected her to unimaginable torment, crushing her spirit. He ignored her tears and pain, snuffed out the last of her hope with his own hands, and even regarded the child in her womb as an unwanted burden.
Surrounded by enemies and broken in body and soul, she fled for her life with her dying self, her gravely ill mother, and her unborn child. Then she vanished without a trace, leaving only a vow that they would never meet again for as long as she lived.
After five years in hiding, she emerged renewed and sharpened into a blade, returning with her child and a heart already dead and turned to ash.
The man who had once treated her like dirt searched the entire world for her. When he learned the truth, he descended into madness and obsession, ready to surrender his power and all the world’s riches, casting aside every ounce of pride as he embarked on a hellish quest to win her back.
He knelt at her door, endured her cold looks, protected her, and tried to atone for his past sins. But the wounds he had inflicted had already sunk deep into her bones.
“Qin Beichen, you’ll never repay what you owe me in this lifetime.”
“Then I’ll spend the rest of my life on my knees, waiting for you to turn back. Even if I’m doomed to fall into the abyss, I’ll never let go.”
A love so painful it cuts to the bone, a prison of love turned into a calamity. From brutal torment to humble repentance, watch a possessive tycoon try to win back the heart he crushed with his own hands.
