[A wealthy heiress brought low and afraid of marriage vs. a cold, restrained CEO + deranged and brooding + careful scheming + sweet romance + 1v1 + both leads have no past relationships + amnesia while pursuing his wife, his beloved from years ago]
-
To avoid an arranged marriage, Su Xingyu had a huge falling-out with her family. Overnight, she went from a daughter of the Su family to penniless.
When she was at her wits' end, her older brother offered a seven-figure payment and begged her to go undercover at his rival's company, the Xu Group.
She figured she was already broke, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.
The night before, she'd flirted with a handsome, cold-faced guy at a bar, then deleted his contact and disappeared at dawn.
-
When she went to interview at the Xu Group, she pushed open the door to the CEO's office on the top floor and saw Xu Chongzhou, seated at the head of the table, look up at her.
He had exactly the same face as the handsome guy from last night.
Worse, she didn't know that this icy CEO, the talk of the entire business world, was the very man she'd been avoiding for an arranged marriage for the past six months.
-
Xu Chongzhou transferred her straight from being a new hire in the marketing department to his own executive assistant's office.
After closing the door, he walked toward her step by step.
"You deleted me, and now you've come to work at my company. Su Xingyu, what are you after?"
-
Later, rumors spread throughout the Xu Group that Mr. Xu, who had always kept his distance from women and was ruthless in his methods, had been acting as if he'd lost his mind lately.
Someone saw him corner Su Xingyu in a hallway, his possessive gaze almost impossible to restrain.
"You avoided me for six months. Now that you're in my hands, you still think you can run?"
