After her sudden downfall, the Black Queen, who once ruled the underworld and stood at its pinnacle, opens her eyes to find herself transmigrated into a destitute little beggar with no one to rely on in the streets of the modern world.
In her previous life, Leng Xiao was decisive and ruthless, commanding the tides of power for half her life.
In this life, Leng Xiao is alone and at the bottom of society, yet her spirit remains unbowed.
Fighting to survive against all odds, she has a sharp eye and willingly attaches herself to the lonely, wealthy businessman Old Master Gao, who takes her in and raises her by his side.
The Gao family’s descendants are useless playboys, too busy fighting among themselves for anyone to shoulder the burden of the vast Gao Group.
With no other choice, the old master insists on leaving his entire billion-yuan fortune to Leng Xiao.
But Leng Xiao is clear-headed and grateful, not greedy.
The Gao Group is the foundation of the Gao family. She won’t take a single cent and returns it all to them.
Starting from nothing, she relies on her own skill and vision to build a business empire of her own: a private conglomerate, high-end hospitals, and a top-tier entertainment company. Her businesses are everywhere, and she quietly becomes a legend, her power long since eclipsing the old-money families.
No one knows that this cool, gentle, and extraordinarily capable heiress is, deep down, an underworld boss who can turn the whole world upside down with a wave of her hand.
As children, amid the chaos of the streets, she casually rescued Han Chengzhou, a lost and trapped young heir to one of the wealthiest families.
From then on, the two were bound by fate, growing up together as childhood sweethearts.
Han Chengzhou is the perpetually icy, feared figure of the business world, cold, distant, and indifferent to others. Only with Leng Xiao is he submissive and indulgent. He trusts her, protects her, and stays by her side. She is his only confidante and his most perfectly matched business partner.
The city’s elite all assume that these two formidable childhood sweethearts are destined to marry and rule the business world together.
But even the best-laid plans can go awry.
Everyone thinks they are aloof and dispassionate. Only they know the depth of their mutual devotion, which has never needed to be explained to anyone else.
