[Beauty and the Beast]

Duan Lin was a rebellious illegitimate son, forced to acknowledge his family and take over the Duan Group. At the company, he made bold, decisive moves and was exceptionally ruthless, quickly establishing himself. Once he got the shares in Old Master Duan’s hands, he would be able to bring the entire Duan Group under his control.

But he had a wife from an arranged marriage whose loyalties lay elsewhere.

His wife was a relative of his father’s first wife. Old Master Duan had put him in the position of executive assistant, ostensibly to help Duan Lin, the company president. But Duan Lin knew that this executive assistant was really there to keep an eye on him and compete with him for the Duan family shares.

His executive assistant also had a terrible temper and was always making him lose face as company president, including but not limited to:

Moving into his office by force.

Taking over every matter in the president’s office. The executive assistant was the highest-level approver in the office management system, while even the highest-ranking secretary was really there to assist him. Even the stubborn senior executives Duan Lin couldn’t handle were wrapped around the assistant’s little finger.

At meals with business partners, when Duan Lin wanted a drink, the assistant would fly into a rage. When the assistant wanted a dish, Duan Lin had to turn the lazy Susan. When the assistant got mad, Duan Lin had to act as his enforcer.

Even the assistant’s cat judged people by how useful they were, and always ordered Duan Lin to make its food.

Worse still, the old master forced the two of them to share a bed. The assistant agreed on the surface, but actually made Duan Lin sleep on the floor for four years.

After four years, Duan Lin had reached one conclusion: his assistant had been spoiled since birth. He’d seen so many good things that he could toss them aside without a second thought.

So Duan Lin couldn’t give in too easily. Only what he couldn’t have would stay in the assistant’s mind.

But then, one day, the Duan family’s original heir returned.

Duan Lin had heard that the heir and the assistant were childhood sweethearts, and mutually in love. If the heir hadn’t been in a car accident and ended up in a coma, Duan Lin might now be calling his assistant brother-in-law...

How could he let that happen?

Mu Chengqing went to see his arranged-marriage partner. He’d heard this was an illegitimate son who wouldn’t yield to either force or persuasion, and refused to return to the Duan family. Now Old Master Duan had imprisoned him at the family home.

Through the shattered glass, he saw the illegitimate son, chained up with welded-shut locks.

Tall but thin, his eyes bloodshot, he looked ready to bite through someone’s throat at any moment.

...He looked just like the leader of a pack of strays captured by a dogcatcher, Mu Chengqing thought. This arranged marriage wouldn’t work out. The stray would probably rather die than step into humanity’s filthy world of fame and fortune.

But the next time they met was at a meeting to discuss their marriage. The stray was dressed in a suit. His gaze was defiant, but his head was bowed, as if an invisible leash were constricting his throat.

Mu Chengqing was curious: what kind of leash could keep this stray dog tethered?

Fierce stray dog who’s actually devoted to his wife, gong Duan Lin (Lin) x proud beauty who coasts on his looks and can’t stand the slightest hardship, flirtatious beauty, shou Mu Chengqing
