    Zhou Tingyan, a powerful figure in the business world and a top-tier naval arsenal merchant, possesses unparalleled good looks and exudes an aura of unapproachability. Three cold, snake-like bones are coiled around his wrists, seemingly a reflection of his detached and emotionless nature; nothing in the world seems to hold any appeal for him. Wen Qinyi, on the other hand, is like a figure from a painting, with fair skin and delicate features, possessing the graceful charm of a virgin, like a newly formed fairy, lively and beautiful. Unfortunately, her uncle has been extremely busy lately and unable to attend to her, so Wen Qinyi accidentally lands on Zhou Tingyan's private island. Upon learning this, her uncle is frantic, almost driven mad with worry, vowing to first castrate the person who trapped Wen Qinyi, and then take their life. On the misty shore, Zhou Tingyan returns by helicopter. He walked slowly down the helicopter stairs through the damp mist, his steps steady and powerful, towards Wen Qinyi on the bench. In his eyes, Wen Qinyi was nothing more than a pawn to be used. So, he spoke, his voice tinged with nonchalance: "Tonight, will you stay with me?"
