The Scheming Jiang Shao’s Cherished One

[Tsundere heiress + scheming young master Jiang + dark and devious + coercive love] Everyone in Xiangcheng knew that Zhou Qingci, the only daughter of the Zhou family, was breathtakingly beautiful, with a stunning figure. Raised by one of the city’s most powerful families, she was a born star. She was top of her class, proud and outspoken, with a sharp tongue and a knack for cutting sarcasm. No one in her social circle could get the better of her. The cruise-ship gala, filled with the city’s elite, was supposed to be a matchmaking arena for powerful families. Her parents forced her to attend and play along, but she unexpectedly ran into Jiang Jingsheng, the most terrifying power broker in the city. He was the Jiang family’s carefully groomed heir: 185 centimeters tall, every inch the privileged gentleman. He looked refined and mild-mannered, but beneath the surface he was calculating, cold, and ruthless, with a possessiveness rooted deep in his bones. One glance, and she was lost. Step by step, she fell deeper. The cool, proud, sharp-tongued heiress versus the refined, sinister CEO who loves through coercion. He hid his violent nature and laid one trap after another to draw her in, obsessively keeping her close and claiming her by force. Everyone said Mr. Jiang was a refined gentleman, but Zhou Qingci knew the truth: this man was possessive and mad, and he had already locked her in the palm of his hand. He would keep her all to himself for the rest of their lives and never let her go!
