Beijing elite circle | Ruthless, powerful young master x cool, frail doctor
On the day they broke up, Xu Zhixue sat on the balcony railing, both legs hanging outside the window. Three stories below, the villa's lawn gleamed green in the sunlight.
She called Zhao Yuming. "Where are you? Come back now."
At a banquet rife with undercurrents, Zhao Yuming replied, "Baby, I'm in a meeting. What's wrong?"
"Come back now," Xu Zhixue said calmly.
Zhao Yuming gently tried to soothe her. "I'm in a meeting, baby. Can we talk about it when I get home later?"
He was careful and tender, but Xu Zhixue's heart was already completely dead. "If you don't come, I'll jump."

They had been together for eight years.
She came from a poor family, while Zhao Yuming was the pride of Beijing.
As they dated, the women around his childhood friends came and went, and they were all girls like her.
She knew what people said behind their backs: "She's with so-and-so."
But she was naive and proud, convinced she was different, because Zhao Yuming always held her hand and openly told others, "This is my girlfriend, our little princess."
He said it, and he lived up to it. For eight years, he had cared for her in every way, ready to pluck the moon from the sky for her.
But just when she thought they would go on like this for the rest of their lives, he decided to get married.
To someone else.

Power or the woman you love? That is the question.
But Zhao Yuming never hesitated.
There were plenty of women. What he wanted was overwhelming power.

Years later, Xu Zhixue was about to get married. He traveled all the way from Beijing to find her, his gloomy face full of cruelty. "Xiaoxue, I won't allow it."
Xu Zhixue gave a soft laugh. "Mr. Zhao, I've heard so much about you. You can have anything you want now. I'm thirty years old. I'm already old."
