Reckless Surrender

Everyone knows Cheng Yi, the business tycoon, is cold on the outside and even colder on the inside. He'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals. To him, Su Li is just the least significant piece on his chessboard. He never expected to fall even harder for her than she fell for him. * At first, Cheng Yi sees the young woman he meets as nothing but prey. He approaches and seduces her only because he wants to use her. The man is completely confident: "There's no need to make assumptions. I won't feel a thing for her." Later, when he falls for her, the air is thin on the snowy mountain. She's almost out of breath, and all she can see is a long staircase that seems to go on forever. Climbing up was hard. Going down is just as hard. The man quickens his pace and stops in front of her, bending down slightly. "Get on." "I'll carry you down." Finally, when they're dating, Su Li finishes shopping at the mall with him and turns to ask, "Why did you buy that outfit just now? It looked pretty ordinary." Cheng Yi: "The sales clerk was sweet-talking me." She asks curiously, "What did he say?" "That we make a good match." Surprised that he's so easily swayed, she clutches her purse and mutters, "By that logic, I'm pretty sweet-talking too." Suddenly, Cheng Yi stops and leans over to kiss the corner of her lips. She freezes. The man lowers his eyes and pauses, as if savoring the taste before replying with a smile: "You are pretty sweet." "..." Everyone says Cheng Yi is a ruthless man who only does what's good for him. No one ever imagined that one day he would offer up his whole heart without regard for the consequences or what he stood to lose, willingly and recklessly surrendering himself to her, becoming a devoted servant at her feet.

[Bonus Scene] Su Li reaches the pinnacle of fame with a nebula wedding dress, and her designs become impossible to get. The media scramble to interview her, but are rejected time and again. Furious, they lash out: What makes you think you can be so arrogant? Rumors run wild until the people "behind the scenes" step forward to clarify: She doesn't know anything about this. Someone else is responsible for the refusals. Cheng Yi: [I didn't mean to refuse them. My wife was angry at the time, and I built her a palace in Northern Europe to cheer her up. I meant no offense. Please understand.] The media: What do you mean, no offense? You're rubbing your relationship in our faces! The head of Haosu Jewelry: [We didn't mean to. Our precious daughter is just so accomplished that we named an asteroid after her to cheer her up. We meant no offense. Please forgive us.] What do you mean, no offense? You're deliberately making us jealous! #ChengYi'sWife and #HaosuJewelryHeiress push the trending topics to a standstill.
