Besides owning their own business empire, they are also the world's largest investors. The male lead is aloof, cold, and ruthless—a true ruler. He falls in love with the female lead at first sight and dotes on her immensely. ② Fu Jingci—the ninth-ranked man in the Fu family, one of the four great hereditary noble families. Cold, arrogant, and ruthless, he is the true ruler of the Fu family. Rumor has it that he can control everything, but his private life remains a mystery. The writing is truly excellent, and it even includes knowledge of intangible cultural heritage. The female lead gradually becomes stronger; a loving male lead will always find ways to make her more outstanding and powerful enough to stand against a force to be reckoned with.
