◎An ambitious, proud actress × a dangerous, possessive powerbroker from a wealthy family. The male lead is chaste.
Late at night, Liang Mian returns home with her wealthy boyfriend, just as his uncle, Bo Sinian, the powerbroker of the Bo Group, returns from a meeting.
Beneath the dim lights and shadows, the impeccably dressed man leans against a Maybach. His dark, deep-set eyes rest coolly on the two of them holding hands, their fingers interlaced, and catch the gleam of a lighter.
The bitter, cold smell of cigarette smoke spreads through the air, like silk soaked in gasoline, burning dangerously in the darkness.
Liang Mian's heart tightens.
Her boyfriend's grip on her hand grows firmer. He whispers, "Don't worry. My uncle is very gentle. He won't make things difficult for you."

What her boyfriend doesn't know is that many years ago, Bo Sinian held Liang Mian's hand just like this.
He pinned her against the wall, letting her rumple the suit he had always kept immaculate, crumpling his collar.
Then he kissed her like a madman, over and over, refusing to let go even as the taste of blood seeped between their lips.
"I'll die without you. So, for my sake, would you come down to hell with me?"
Liang Mian didn't answer.
Only she knows just how possessive and crazy Bo Sinian, so refined in public, can be in private.
Two hours later.
Liang Mian lights a post-coital cigarette and feeds the smoke to the man beside her, who never smokes.
Bo Sinian accepts every drag. In his eyes, possessiveness flickers with the flame, then surges into a raging inferno.
