Modern romance + happy ending + coercive love + domineering CEO

Him: President of the Gu Group. He is gloomy and obsessive, with an overwhelming need for control. He is used to keeping everything he wants through force and confinement. He has an almost pathological possessiveness toward the heroine, Ning Zhixia. Cold on the outside and ruthless within, he shows a secret tenderness and obsessive concern only for her.

Her: Gentle yet resilient, with her own thoughts and principles. Reserved but not weak, she is initially terrified of and resistant to Gu Yanchen’s domineering ways. As their relationship develops, she gradually sees the vulnerability beneath his obsession and becomes torn between escaping and falling for him. In the end, she chooses to face her own feelings and tries to redeem Gu Yanchen.
