Synopsis

Beijing elite circle | Top-tier power and privilege | Both leads are chaste

Seven years of love could not withstand a marriage alliance.

At a Liang family banquet, Yu Jiao arrived in all her finery with her arm linked through Liang Yuyan's, only to learn that he was engaged to another woman.

Everyone in the room looked at her as if she were a joke who had tried to climb the social ladder by attaching herself to the powerful.

The man onstage, whom she had loved for seven years, had known all along how this scene would end, yet he had still brought her here.

He had driven the final nail into her coffin of shame with his own hands.

Yu Jiao turned and walked away without looking back.

From then on, she became the decisive project director at Qingsheng Group, the most alluring and sharp-edged rose in the capital.

Until Huo Yancheng appeared.

He was the king of the capital, possessive and brutal, a man no one dared to provoke.

He helped her, protected her, and lured her in step by step, leaving Yu Jiao unsettled.

He advanced relentlessly, while she retreated again and again.

She was afraid: afraid of the calculations of the children of powerful families, afraid of being abandoned once more.

“Yu Jiao, I’m not Liang Yuyan.”

What she didn’t know was that Huo Yancheng had remembered her name ever since her graduation ceremony at eighteen.

For seven whole years.

Seven years of her loving someone else, and seven years of him waiting for her.

This time, he would give no one else a chance.

“Huo Yancheng, I want an absolute, exclusive love.”

He lifted her delicate hand and kissed the back of it.

“Darling, I can give you that.”

He had plotted for years, all so that one day he could claim her openly and rightfully.

Books to Read Before Bed

When I have nothing to do before bed, I feel like reading for a while. Are there any books that are easy to fall asleep to, but don’t have a boring plot? I love that feeling of nodding off while reading, then waking up in the morning and picking right back up where I left off.
