A Long-Held Obsession Comes Home

(Powerful man humbled himself + possessive pursuit + Beijing elite circle + strong male lead, weak female lead + she’s a virgin, he isn’t)

Ji Youning first met Lu Lingyue after her divorce.

She had just ended a failed marriage, and at a friend’s invitation, went to celebrate her escape from the mire at the Chong’an Club.

She saw Lu Lingyue standing among the crowd, radiating aristocratic elegance. She had never imagined she would become entangled with a man like him.

He was an influential heir to a prominent family. On the surface, he was composed and gentlemanly, but deep down, he was obsessive and impossible to tame.

The moment he saw Ji Youning, he was drawn to her gentle yet stubborn eyes. From then on, he used every means at his disposal, determined to bring her into his world.

He gave her unrivaled devotion, but also imposed an iron grip on her life.

Crushed beneath his suffocating love, Ji Youning ran away. She vanished without a trace, and he couldn’t find her no matter how thoroughly he searched.

Two years later, Ji Youning came back.

He followed her from thousands of miles away in Beijing to the foot of her apartment building. The usually domineering man fell to his knees, his eyes full of pain as he begged her: “Youning, I don’t want anything. I’m only asking you not to leave me.”
