[Bookshelf Added] Is this the kind of thing~ ## [Overwhelming Power + Forced Love + Slightly Yandere + Obedient Female Lead] He stood atop a skyscraper, his cold gaze sweeping across the city below like a blade. Neon lights flickered, traffic flowed like a river, yet everything seemed to be under his control. The wind brushed against his clothes, carrying a chilling aura, as if even the air was making way for him. His figure was as upright as a pine tree, his brows exuding an undeniable majesty, as if everything in the world paled in comparison to his gaze. He slightly raised his chin, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips, as if everything in the world was merely his chessboard, and he was forever the one playing the game. Whether it was the ever-changing landscape of the business world or the deceit and treachery of human nature, in his eyes they were nothing but insignificant dust. His very existence was an invisible pressure, making people dare not look him in the eye, much less overstep their bounds. He was a born king, looking down upon all heroes, surveying the world with disdain.
