The Cold CEO and the Deadly Scholar

Lu Feng is the second-generation heir of a prominent red family, captain of the country's mysterious special forces unit, Dragon Flame, and known by the codename Scholar. He is a major threat to nations around the world, a philosophy lecturer at a prestigious university, and a PhD in economics from Harvard. Three years ago, when his squad was trapped overseas, he walked out of his own wedding. Three years later, he retires and returns to the city, posing as an unassuming master of the streets. He takes on bullies, brings the underworld to heel, and protects those around him, roaming the city with impunity and settling scores as he goes.

Lin Qingrou is the eldest daughter of a reclusive business family. She runs a company controlling trillions in family assets and is an incomparable, icy beauty. She met Lu Feng through an arranged marriage between their families, and because he fled their wedding three years ago, she resents him deeply.

After Lu Feng returns, an accident leads to an intimate night between him and Lin Qingrou at a hotel. Under pressure from both families, the two are forced to live together, beginning their life under one roof.

Meanwhile, problems begin to surface in the Lin family's business, leaving Lin Qingrou overwhelmed. Lu Feng secretly lends a hand and uses his intelligence network to discover that the Lin family patriarch, Lin Qingrou's father, was replaced three years ago by his twin brother, the leader of a terrorist organization who had been missing for years. It turns out that both the arranged marriage and the attack on Lu Feng's squad three years earlier were part of the scheme devised by Lin Qingrou's impostor father.

Lu Feng therefore begins investigating what happened three years ago. Along the way, he crushes the local underworld, clashes with arrogant heirs of wealthy families, and gradually uncovers the truth after repeatedly facing life-and-death crises. In the end, he rescues Lin Qingrou's father, foils the schemes of his twin brother and foreign forces, and protects his country.
