Lin Wan ran into Jiang Linli again on the night of the talent show's final.
The girl who had debuted in the center spot wore a flowing, pale-white dress. Beneath the spotlights, her graceful silhouette seemed like a celestial being from beyond the stars. Her clear, elegant eyes were lovely as she looked toward the camera, as pure and radiant as a priceless gem.
Jiang Linli sat onstage, gazing at her.
Backstage, the man cornered her in an empty nook. His eyes were rimmed with deep red as he tugged open her collar and looked down at the tattoo on her chest: an L shaped like a rose, inked over her heart.
"I got it for my boyfriend. His surname is Lin." Her voice was cold. "Mr. Jiang, could you let go now?"
At seventeen, he became the only god in Lin Wan's world.
Until she saw that god leisurely stub out his cigarette and smile lazily. "You've got it wrong. Why would I like Lin Wan? It was just a joke."

Jiang Linli was a powerful figure in venture capital. Since inheriting the Jiang Group, he had rapidly spread its investment network across key industries.
Countless women fought tooth and nail for a chance to get into his bed. Unfortunately, Jiang Linli's private life was as clean as a blank sheet of paper. The buttons of his black shirt were always fastened to the very top, a string of Buddhist prayer beads circled his well-proportioned wrist, and his dark eyes were cool and restrained. To those in the business, he was a snowy peak too pristine to touch.
During one interview, however, everyone noticed that Jiang Linli's shirt collar was a little rumpled, his elegant collarbones faintly visible.
He calmly straightened it, smiling just so. "My apologies."
Then he looked toward the staff and instructed them, "Cut that last part. Don't air it."
Everyone was perplexed.
Jiang Linli's eyes held a smile as he looked at Lin Wan, disguised in the audience. His voice was low and rich. "My wife gets jealous easily."

After her father was brutally murdered by criminals, Lin Wan was taken in by Jiang Linli and moved into the Jiang residence.
The Jiang Linli she knew was composed and restrained, noble and dignified, bright and pristine as a flower on a lofty peak, impossible to approach or defile.
That night, Lin Wan peered through a crack in the door and saw what was happening in the basement.
The man wore polished leather shoes and slowly ground one beneath his heel over a hand sprawled on the floor. His downward gaze held no warmth. His obsession had become a calamity; his icy aura was exactly like that of the criminals who had killed her father.
The screams were piercing, but he remained unmoved. Calmly, he set down a glass jar containing a severed finger suspended in liquid, a horrifying sight.
"If you keep bothering Wanwan..." His voice was hoarse as he warned, "I'll kill you."
When Lin Wan wasn't around, he roamed through the shadows, dwelling in an abyss of hell, heedless of morality and rules.
But her clear, fawn-like eyes and her fragile, glass-like image became the softest patch of pure land in his heart. He had to climb out of hell to be worthy of someone as wonderful as her.
