Claiming the Throne of Power

Xia Xiang graduates from college only to find himself unemployed and dumped by his girlfriend. His company goes bankrupt, his landlord demands the rent, and he can barely scrape together enough for breakfast tomorrow. Just when he has nowhere left to turn, a mysterious phone call comes in. From that moment on, an invisible hand plunges his life into the deepest whirlpool. A rich heiress secretly falls for him, with family interests hidden behind her tender affection. A powerful woman from an elite family storms into his life, every move she makes clearing the way for the old master. A glamorous businesswoman throws herself at him, opening one secret door to a deal after another. But the person who both terrifies and fascinates him most is his female boss. One moment she helps him break through a deadlock; the next, she sends him into mortal danger. She looks at him as if he were both prey and a chess piece. Everyone says she is that powerful figure's front woman. But as he climbs toward the summit, he discovers that true power never comes from a job title. It comes from the peerlessly beautiful woman standing in the shadows, who has woven a throne for him with her own hands. Twenty-five years, four arenas of power, nine great families, and hundreds of life-and-death contests. What he seeks to claim is not only the peak of power, but also the secret the “Peerless Female Leader” has hidden in the deepest corner of the chessboard.
