[One-on-One Romance + Both Are Inexperienced + Powerful Man Bows His Head + A Scoundrel's Sincere Love + Captive Romance]
Three years ago, Tang Shuning was the adored heiress of the Tang family.
Three years later, the Tang family was bankrupt and her father was gravely ill. With nowhere else to turn, she sneaked into a banquet and ran into Shen Qiancheng.
One deal bought her father's chance to live and gave the Tang family a chance to catch its breath.
He gave her boundless luxury and every kindness, building her a gilded cage while keeping her freedom from her.
From then on, she worked quietly within his company, saving money and making her repayments on time every month, all the while hoping to settle the debt and leave.
Shen Qiancheng gently cupped her face. "I can give you anything you want."
With red-rimmed eyes, she begged him, "I want my freedom."
A tender smile played on Shen Qiancheng's lips, but his possessiveness ran to the bone. "Shuning, I'll give you anything else you want. But freedom? Don't even think about it."
Before the debt was fully paid, the Shen family arranged a marriage alliance for Shen Qiancheng. The old master personally put pressure on Tang Shuning, forcing her to leave for good.
She had already begun to fall in love with him, but she refused to become a stain that could ruin his future. All she could do was let go and leave, though it broke her heart.
She vanished from his world without a trace. Shen Qiancheng, determined to refuse the marriage, searched the entire city for her like a madman. Where could this love, torn apart by others, go from here?
