Introduction to the work
When he was sixteen years old, Shen Nian'an knelt down in a heavy rain and begged Chi Zheng to take him in, in exchange for the vitality of his father's company at the cost of five years of freedom. She is the daughter of a bankrupt builder, and he is the head of the Dark Night family who is a mixed race from four countries. With an agreement, she became the sharpest blade in his hand and his most secret weakness.
In the name of strictness, Chi Xun actually protects her: sending her to study abroad but secretly clearing all obstacles, forcing her to grow but quietly transferring the shares into her name. Shen Nian'an struggled to transform under the illusion of "paying off debt", growing from a young girl to an all-around strong man proficient in finance, accounting, and jewelry design, but she could never see the deep affection behind his cold mask.
After completing her studies and returning to China at the age of twenty-two, Chi Xu suddenly "disappeared", leaving her alone to face the eager wolves of her family. Until two red lines appear on the pregnancy test stick, all the past "forces" are instantly connected into a trajectory of love - it turns out that the road of thorns is the throne paved by his own hands, and all the hardships are his planned coronation.
When the patriarch of the family forced her into a desperate situation, the man who was rumored to be dead returned with the power of thunder and knelt down on one knee in front of everyone: "My kingdom should have been named Shen." He put the scepter into her hand, retreated behind the scenes, and was willing to be her eternal backing.
From debt to affection, from tool to master, this is a Machiavellian love that begins with calculation and ends with sincerity. She thought she was repaying her debt, but little did she know that he had pledged the entire world to her.
