In the underground darkroom, the light is pale. When Qi Wangjin was delivered as "goods", he was still reviewing the escape route in his mind - until the woman casually said "just her". Xi Jinxiao is a predator in the cross-border mergers and acquisitions industry. He enjoys annexing companies. At the age of twenty-six, he has scared half of the business world. Everyone said she was cold-blooded, precise and had no weaknesses.
Qi Wangjin was taken back to the private manor, well clothed and well fed, and unable to move even an inch. She thought Xi Jinxiao wanted obedience, so she smiled obediently, lowered her head meekly, and silently counted the directions of each exit in her mind. But she soon discovered that this controlling, almost pathological woman was far more dangerous than rumored. Xi Jinxiao would smile and share who she had plotted today, with a tone like she was chatting about the weather; when she drew the first boundary, he would stop quietly outside the boundary, then go around behind all the boundaries and stand there waiting for her to look back.
Until Qi Wangjin realized: Xi Jinxiao never imprisoned her. It's everyone in this city who wants to escape, but in the end they find they have nowhere to go. And when she finally stood in front of the exit, she turned around and saw Xi Jinxiao sitting alone in the empty hall, with his fingertips on the handrail. He didn't chase her, but just looked up at her. At that moment, the escape plan was completely scrapped.
The hunter thought he had locked his prey, but the prey carved his name on the chain. When two people who cannot be tamed meet, love is the only voluntary surrender.
