He thought they were enemies until the man whispered in his ear,
“I’ve wanted you since the moment we first met.”
Shen Yanting is the only son of the northern Shen Real Estate family, cold and taciturn. His ruthless tactics in business strike fear into everyone. No one knows his fatal secret: he has fallen for his family’s sworn enemy, Gu Yanzhi.
Gu Yanzhi is the heir to the southern Gu Holdings. Beneath his warm exterior lies a keen business mind. He is used to measuring everything by its value, including the look in Shen Yanting’s eyes. It is unmistakably the gaze of a hunter who has fixed on his prey.
The two families clash head-on in a bid for the Yunlan Bay development, bringing old and new grudges to the brink of eruption. Shen Yanting tells himself that he is only getting close to Gu Yanzhi to uncover his rival’s cards. But whenever he sees Gu Yanzhi laughing and talking with someone else, he loses control. He investigates everyone around Gu Yanzhi, parks outside his home in the middle of the night, and even deliberately sabotages anyone who gets close to him in business.
Gu Yanzhi notices, but assumes it is all part of the game: whoever falls first loses.
Then a carefully engineered plot plunges both families into crisis, and Shen Yanting chooses to betray his family in front of everyone to shield Gu Yanzhi.
“Have you gone mad?” Gu Yanzhi asks through gritted teeth.
Shen Yanting grips his wrist, his voice hoarse, as though the last thread of his reason has snapped. “I went mad the first time I laid eyes on you.”
This is a story of restraint and surrender, scheming and sincerity. When two equally matched men go head-to-head in both business and love, who will be the first to give in?
