At her engagement banquet, her former fiancé puts an arm around his white-moonlight sweetheart and tosses down the broken engagement papers. "If our elders hadn't forced me, I'd be disgusted just looking at you."
Shen Nian quietly lowers her eyes. She doesn't cry or make a scene. She simply reaches out and tears up the damn engagement contract. Everyone expects the fallen heiress to become the laughingstock of the whole city. But the very next moment, the banquet hall doors are suddenly shoved open by a group of bodyguards in black!
The man who holds the lifeline of the capital in his hands, the cold-blooded and ruthless head of the Xie family, Xie Siheng, the scumbag's own older brother, strides in with menace in every step. He ignores everyone else and corners her against the wall.
Dark madness burns in his eyes. In front of the city's media, he forcefully takes her hand and slips a gigantic diamond ring onto her finger. "If he won't marry you, I will."
The scumbag is stunned on the spot. "Brother, have you lost your mind?! She's the woman I returned!"
Xie Siheng looks at him coldly, murder in his eyes. "Watch your mouth. Call her sister-in-law."
Everyone thinks Shen Nian has escaped one wolf only to fall into a tiger's den, and that with Xie Siheng's methods, he'll devour her without leaving a bone.
But one late night after their wedding, someone catches sight of the decisive, ruthless tyrant holding her close and rubbing her waist as he pleads, "Niannian, I was the one who grew up by your side. Why should he have been the one with your name for all these years? This time I stole you away, and I'll never let go, even if it kills me."
