   ✨A captivating novel about high-ranking officials. It's heartbreaking to see the three characters, all deeply in love, suffering greatly, and ultimately heartbroken. But the difference between those in and outside the officialdom is vast, and the worlds within and outside the system are vastly different. The stability of their social circles and the maintenance of order are shackles they must bravely break through and sacrifice for.

When they met again, Zhou Sinian was the self-disciplined and refined Zhou X Director, with a well-matched fiancée by his side. Five years ago, at their first meeting, Zhou Wang, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "I heard you're quite expensive." Su Jin tilted her head and smiled, "Young Master Zhou, you're not cheap either." "Playing with me? Can you afford it?" Later, he squatted down in front of her, looking up at her, his peach blossom eyes reddening, "Do you think I can't live without you?" She smiled, looking down, "If I'm not your first choice, then I'll never be." He kissed the back of her hand in front of his brothers, "Woof." The most precious heir in Beijing was tamed by her like a dog. But she didn't know that he willingly let himself be ensnared. Five years later, the faded red string on her wrist was tied by him while she was asleep. He gripped her wrist, his knuckles turning white: "What exactly do you want?" She pulled her hand away and stood up: "Director Zhou, don't flatter yourself. I only came back for money." Thirty-year-old Su Jin didn't date or rely on men; she held connections across half of Beijing and a business worth two hundred million. She had calculated how to escape unscathed, calculated how to make him hate her to the bone, but she hadn't calculated that five years later, those peach blossom eyes still held a mixture of hatred and love for her, unable to do anything about it. Later, Zhou Sinian pinned her against the French windows, his eyes red-rimmed: "You didn't look back when you left, and you shouldn't look back when you come back, but why did you let me see you?" She pushed his face away: "Your fiancée is waiting for you downstairs." He laughed, a laugh that was both mad and broken. She had been playing him for seven years. He willingly took the bait—because of her. He hated her to the core, yet loved her to the point of risking his life. 19
