After years of being unknown overseas, Jiang Qie returned to China and was unexpectedly invited to star in a film by a famous director. The role became a huge hit, and she shot to fame as a national sweetheart.
There were countless rumors in the entertainment industry about the powerful man backing her. Jiang Qie never bothered to deny them, pretending she hadn't heard or seen a thing.
Until one day, during a livestream, she accidentally knocked over a glass of water.
The man's distinctively knuckled hand stopped her from picking up the shards scattered across the floor.
"Are you hurt?"
His voice was indescribably rich and deep.
After "Jiang Qie and her powerful backer" stayed on the trending searches for three days and nights, Jiang Qie made an unprecedented post to explain:
There is no investor. He's just an elder in my family.
When friends in the industry asked, Jiang Qie only gave a casual reply.
"Just a little uncle from my family."

At a charity gala, the man who had avoided her for days finally caught up with Jiang Qie.
Dim lights concealed the room's sultry atmosphere as the man's burning breath brushed her ear.
"Little uncle?" he murmured, repeating the title. His usually cool expression could barely conceal its menace.
"Weren't you the one who told me not to cross the line?" Jiang Qie turned the ring on her finger, reminding him she was engaged. Her tone and expression both radiated distance.
"Mind your manners, little uncle."

Shang Qinglu had been steady and self-disciplined since childhood, with restraint practically written into his bones.
When she was sixteen, he brought her home to the Shang family.
When she was eighteen, he personally sent her away.
He thought he had never fallen for her, and that everything had been calculated just right.
Until Jiang Qie stopped loving him.
