Ling Yao, owner of a trillion-dollar business empire, as handsome as a top-tier star, ruthless and decisive in his dealings, a man whose very gaze could make Wall Street tremble... had gone mad.
At least, that's what the whole world thought.
When this domineering CEO, hailed as a "diamond-grade bachelor," stood outside an utterly ordinary nursing home and told Su Cuilan, an eighty-year-old woman wearing reading glasses and basking in the sun with barely any teeth left, "Woman, your dentures have caught my attention," the global media got the most surreal headline day in history.

His special assistant knelt on the ground, clutching reports of plummeting stock prices and sobbing. "Boss! Please go see an eye doctor! Grandma Su is lovely, but our competitors are practically laughing their way onto the stock exchange!"
The competitors were overjoyed. They popped champagne late into the night to celebrate. "Quick! Strike while he's down! He's fallen in love with a woman who has to do square dancing!"
The netizens went wild with jokes. "I used to be called 'baby,' now I'm 'old baby'?" "So rich people really do have different tastes!"
At the center of the storm, Ling Yao completely ignored the world's breakdown and immersed himself in his unique, single-minded pursuit:
- A diamond-encrusted denture care case, just to highlight her "flawless whiteness."
- Custom-made old Beijing cloth shoes from Hermes materials, just to match her "vintage fashion sense."
- Renting out a three-Michelin-star restaurant, just to invite her to drink a bowl of soft, nourishing congee.
- And when she remarked that the osmanthus in the courtyard smelled lovely, he had a century-old osmanthus tree flown to her window, roots and all, the very next day!
The heroine, Ms. Su Cuilan, said she was very troubled. "Xiao Ling, your Grandma is getting old. I just want to play cards and do a little square dancing in peace. You're always making the news, and all my old friends keep asking me for autographs. It's really slowing down my land-grab game!"
"Also, your Rolls-Royce Phantom isn't as nimble around corners as my electric wheelchair. Could you get a G-Class next time? Something a little more down-to-earth."
