Li Zhiyan, the younger sister of the Rongxing Group's president, is clever and beautiful, adored by everyone in her social circle. Men and women alike have nothing but praise for her.
But she is cold on the outside and warm on the inside, loves princess dresses, and has an overactive imagination.
She also has a thing for hands. Whenever she sees elegant, well-defined fingers, she can't look away.
When she first met Xie Zhifei, she knew she had to win him over: for those gorgeous hands.
So, as if possessed, Li Zhiyan laid her hand over his and gently reminded him:
"You put the wrong name for your club. I'll change it for you."
Later, in a cramped single room, the pristine sheets were crumpled and soaked through.
Li Zhiyan ran her fingers over Xie Zhifei's hands. The joints were sharply defined, and they were so skilled, whether gripping a mouse or drawing her into his arms.
She smiled, cradled those hands, and rubbed her cheek against them. "Zhifei, I've got the very best pair of hands."

Xie Zhifei is a young prodigy in his circle, aloof and refined. But in the arena, he is flamboyant, with a brutal style of play and a headshot every time he fires.
With a face even more flawless than his skill, he has topped the competition rankings for years.
Until a scandal spread through the community: the young prodigy was involved with a powerful woman above his station, and was often seen at her family's ancestral home.
The young man tightened his arms around the woman's waist and buried his face in the crook of her neck, complaining, "Am I really just your secret lover?"
Li Zhiyan lowered her eyes, ran a fingertip over his abdomen, and smiled as she soothed him. "Don't be jealous. I like it when you go above your station."

The two families were bound to benefit from a marriage alliance. Once the Li family's chosen match was decided, Li Zhiyan was forced to compromise and broke up with him.
She had always been generous and gracious, and wanted them to part on good terms.
Who knew the banquet that night would be so lively, with guests raising their glasses and praising Li Zhiyan and her fiance as a loving couple made for each other?
But in the room next door, Li Zhiyan's cheeks were flushed as Xie Zhifei held both her hands captive.
She watched helplessly as the hands she loved and knew best slipped between her lips, stirring relentlessly.
His voice low, he made no effort to hide his resentment. "How many people do you love most, besides me?"
