[A wealthy heiress who seems gentle but is actually aloof x a scheming, unconventional tech tycoon]
-
Everyone said that getting engaged to Jiang Ji, a powerful figure in Beijing's elite circles, was a stroke of incredible luck for Shu Nanyu.
The Jiang family was an established dynasty in Beijing's elite circles. As its head, Jiang Ji wielded immense power, practically able to cover the sky with one hand.
He had taken an interest in Shu Nanyu only because she was beautiful, gentle, and well-mannered. She could tolerate Old Madam Jiang's unreasonable provocations, and wouldn't make a scene when Jiang Ji flirted with other women. She would even tactfully deal with the flocks of admirers who came calling.

Shu Nanyu had thought her life would go on like that.
Until she met Chi Yan at a charity gala in Beijing's elite circles, just as the rising tech tycoon was at the height of his fame.
The man wore a discreet, tailored black suit and chatted amiably with people over a glass of champagne.
He had an elegant, distinguished air and a languid posture. Under the crystal chandelier overhead, his striking features carried a hint of careless indifference.
When he noticed someone looking at him, Chi Yan lazily returned her gaze. His presence made Shu Nanyu immediately look away.
No wonder Chi Yan had risen so quickly in the country at such a young age, carving out a place for himself in Beijing's elite circles, where nearly everything had already been divided up.
That's what she thought.
Besides his talent and ability, it was the kind of presence that made people submit to him without even realizing it.
This was the same man who later took her racing and bungee jumping, doing all kinds of things Jiang Ji had once said were beneath the status of a wealthy family.
When their affair was exposed, Jiang Ji was furious and used his influence to crush Chi Yan's company. Yet Chi Yan still found the time to slip to the mountain villa where she was being held captive, evade the cameras and the guards, and climb in through a window.
"Come with me."
Holding Shu Nanyu close, he whispered seductively in her ear, "From now on, we'll be free."
