Wen Tang was Xie Siheng's secret lover for three years.
Everyone in their circle said she was his kept songbird, destined to be discarded once he got bored. Only Wen Tang knew she had set clear boundaries from the beginning: no love, just the thrill of surrender. Unfortunately, Xie Siheng never played by the rules. Fireworks lit up Victoria Harbour for her, he booked out the Palace of Versailles just for her, and he even bought an island and named it after her.
Wen Tang thought she could keep her heart safe, until news came of his engagement to Ye Zhimian, a woman of equal standing.
Before he could end things, Wen Tang walked away first. At the awards ceremony, she lifted the Best Actress trophy beneath the dazzling spotlights. In an unnoticed corner, the man, dressed in a bespoke suit, watched her rise to the top.
Three years later, aboard a cruise ship in Victoria Harbour, Wen Tang is drugged. With her mind clouded, she stumbles into familiar arms. This time, the once arrogant man casts aside all restraint and begins to pursue her relentlessly.
He deliberately lets his hand show during livestreams, sends a whole truckload of roses to her film set, and personally places the deed to “Wen Tang Island” in her hands.
The entire internet is guessing who Wen Tang's mysterious boyfriend is. Then, on awards night, a photo of the woman in a red dress sitting on a car hood and draping her arms around a man's neck as she coos at him shoots to the top of the trending charts. The next day, Wen Tang posts a photo of her marriage certificate: “I'll give you a title, Mr. Xie.”
The chairman of Xie Group reposts it: “I've been plotting this for a long time. Just as I wished.”
