*Heroine: space artist × Hero: heir to a Hong Kong business dynasty
*Hong Kong setting | Older male lead | Second chance romance | Both leads are each other’s only one
When Shen Weiqiao was young, she got involved with the most untouchable man in Hong Kong.
As his kept woman, she should never have dreamed of winning her benefactor’s love.
The price of freedom was for the caged bird to break her own wings.
She returned to China to take care of her mother’s funeral. The man everyone had long thought dead stood there, pale as a ghost.
Kneeling beside the memorial altar at the funeral, Chen Xuanli spotted the familiar silhouette he had yearned for with a single glance.
He thought he was going mad, hallucinating that the person was still alive.
Chen Xuanli, eldest son of the third branch of the Chen family in Hong Kong, had been groomed as the heir by the family patriarch since childhood.
In the eyes of the world, he was a golden boy. Yet beneath his refined, distinguished exterior, he had once been driven to obsession and madness over one person.
When he met Shen Weiqiao again, he wore the same gentle smile as always.
The corners of Shen Weiqiao’s mouth lifted in the faintest curve, almost a sneer.
“Mr. Chen, did you come all this way just for this?”
“Not just that.”
“I just wanted to see you.”
Shen Weiqiao said, “If that’s all, there’s even less reason to come. If Mrs. Chen finds out, I’ll have another bad name to live down.”
He sighed. “There is no Mrs. Chen.”
