Clear-Eyed Heartbreaker Hunter × Possessive, Obsessive Tycoon
_
Ruan Zhi is the industry’s top seduction tester, hired by women to test the sincerity of their boyfriends or husbands. Having seen every kind of false romance, she has always been clear-headed and cold-hearted, never giving her own heart away lightly.
Four years ago, she and He Lanxian fell passionately in love, only for things to end in a hasty breakup. They cut off all contact and went their separate ways, never to cross paths again.
Four years later, a commission from her closest friend, Fu Xi, comes with a generous fee: test the sincerity of her “boyfriend.”
Fu Xi entrusts the task to her with gentle earnestness, urging her to set aside her reservations and do whatever it takes to get close to him.
But neither of them could have imagined that the person Ruan Zhi was supposed to test would be her ex-boyfriend, He Lanxian, the man she had buried deep in her heart and blocked from her life for good.
Their reunion comes without warning.
He is a powerful, calculating man of privilege, possessive and domineering, standing at the very top of the social pyramid. Beneath his cool, chaste exterior lies a wild possessiveness reserved for her alone.
He stops her in public, then deliberately crashes into her car to force her to add him back on WeChat.
Everyone believes Fu Xi is deeply in love with He Lanxian and afraid of letting a perfect match slip away.
Only Fu Xi, who is hiding a secret, knows the truth:
He Lanxian is not her boyfriend at all. He is her biological older brother, lost to her for years and only recently reunited with her.
She is using her best friend to test her brother’s character. All she wants is to find out whether this family, trying to mend its broken ties, is truly remorseful or merely carrying out a carefully plotted scheme.
On one side is the friend who entrusted her with her heart; on the other is the powerful ex who refuses to let her go.
He needles her and closes in at every turn, unable to let go of his obsession night after night. “Moved on? Ruan Zhi, my body and my memories have never agreed to that.”
