[Modern Romance] [Workplace Romance] [Road Trip and Cultural Tourism] [Sweet Romance] [Intangible Cultural Heritage] [Mutual Devotion]
After her fiancé, who is also her immediate boss, cheats on her with another woman, chief jewelry designer Lin Qinghe accepts a last-minute assignment to gather inspiration in western Sichuan. She plans to take a hands-off approach and get a change of scenery while she's at it.
She never expects the owner of an intangible cultural heritage silverwork studio, Gongbu Dawa, to be waiting at the airport. His handsome face is colder than the snowy peaks, and his black-and-gold Tibetan robe gives him an air of bone-deep restraint.
In public, Dawa is cool and distant. "Miss Lin, intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship deserves respect."
In private, Lin Qinghe uses taking his measurements as an excuse to wind a measuring tape around his taut waist, then lightly taps him with a fingertip. "Boss Dawa, your heart rate is way over the limit."
A dazzling, sharp-tongued designer, she turns soft when faced with someone tough, then retreats as soon as she's done flirting. All she wants is to finish the job and return to Beijing to focus on her career.
That is, until her scumbag ex tracks her down on the plateau and tries to force her to leave with him. The silverworker, cool and roguish yet usually bound by strict principles, pins his rival in front of a scrap-metal furnace with one hand. Then, on a stormy night, he grips her wrist and won't let go.
The icy silver bracelet he gives her as a token of their love digs painfully into her skin. Wild obsession and possessiveness surge in his eyes as he draws near and presses her in a hoarse voice:
"You provoked someone blessed by the sacred mountain. Did you really think you could just walk away?"
