He was Lu Hanchuan, the business world’s notorious “Living King of Hell,” cold and domineering, treating love as worthless. He handed her an agreement: “Marry me for a year, and I’ll give you fifty million.” She was Lin Wanqing, a proud art museum curator from a poor background, like a thorn bird who refused to bend even in hardship. She sneered, “Mr. Lu, your money can’t buy me.” He thought it was simply a transaction

Those without desire are things; those with desire are people; those who can control their desires can become people of consequence. But how many can truly control their desires and know when to sto
