Mr. Zhou, the Wild Rose You've Claimed Has Run Away Again

A top-tier old-money heir from Beijing’s elite circles × a Hong Kong heiress. Wen Li flees an arranged marriage in Yanjing, develops designs on her best friend’s uncle, and makes the first move. Born into a family of immense wealth and privilege, Zhou Jinnian is a towering force in the world of finance. He’s a hedonistic, cold-hearted man who looks down on everything, a ruthless master no one can control. On a whim, he takes home a young woman with nowhere else to turn, and keeps her for three years. Their worlds are miles apart. Beijing’s elite quietly wait for Zhou Jinnian to tire of his canary. At last, the day comes. But no one expected the dazzling canary to be the one to leave Zhou Jinnian and fly away from Yanjing. - Departure Hong Kong Daily: Wen family heiress returns after completing her studies and swiftly takes the reins. Hong Kong’s financial magnates compete to court her. Fiancé: “A Li, I’m here to marry you.” Her brother’s friends: “Lili, I can’t live without you.” Her best friend’s younger brother: “Sis, please take me back.” Just as Wen Li is about to enjoy her life as a queen, a man radiating menace strides up behind her, his face dark and terrifying. “Wen Li, is my surname not good enough for you, or did I not take good enough care of you?” Wen Li: “?” “Baby, you’ve been gone for five days. Spend five days with me.” Those five days with no way to escape his grasp leave Wen Li regretting, every moment, that she ever provoked the Zhou family’s mad crown prince. And so the Hong Kong heiress runs for her life, while the crown prince of Beijing’s elite circles hunts her across the globe. - The first time, the crown prince corners her in front of a villa mirror. “Wen Li, can’t I keep you?” The second time, Zhou Jinnian corners her in a crowded airport. “Wen Li, are you trying to run from our wedding?” The third time, Mr. Zhou corners her on a street shimmering with light and shadow. “Mrs. Zhou, where do you think you’re going, carrying my child?” Later, everyone in both cities knows the story. When Mrs. Zhou runs, a storm rages over Hong Kong. When Mrs. Zhou smiles, the winter snow in Yanjing melts.
