Three Years Pretending to Be Good by the Mob Boss's Side

[Modern Crime Romance] [Yandere Heroine] [Power Couple Clash] [Hidden Identities] [Role Reversal] [Political Scheming] [Information Asymmetry] [Mutual Possessiveness] [Pure Love]

Shen Qinghan is the new queen of a crime syndicate: beautiful, cold, ruthless, and obsessively possessive. She picked Lu Chen up out of the gutter and kept him by her side, restricting his movements, planting spies, and putting a tracking device on him. She was certain that this quiet, obedient man could only survive by depending on her. But she didn’t know that Lu Chen had never been prey. He was the organization’s true second-in-command, with connections, ledgers, and secret channels of life and death beyond her sight. His obedience wasn’t submission, but a carefully chosen disguise.

While Shen Qinghan purged the old guard and crushed traitors, convinced she was gradually taming Lu Chen into her own personal canary, Lu Chen had already used her blade, her schemes, and her paranoia to infiltrate the syndicate’s power structure. Then one day, she opened the door to find Lu Chen sitting in “her” seat, while every person in the room she feared most bowed their heads to him.

She thought she had love under control, when in truth she was surrounded by even deeper desire and power. But when outside forces closed in, the old faction struck back, and their true selves were laid bare, they realized that betrayal had never been the most dangerous thing. The real danger was knowing they were both plotting against each other and still wanting to possess one another, no matter what. In the end, will she tame him completely, or will he make the queen of the underworld willingly fall with him?
