A Romantic Whirlwind [Broken Up, Back Together]

Powerful, influential, and deeply devoted man × gentle on the outside, strong-willed and subtly flirtatious woman | Intense romantic tension

1.

Cheng Wenhao is the granddaughter of Zhu Jiaxing’s third son. With her exceptional looks and quiet, sweet temperament, she is said to be the gentle young heiress most adored by elders of her generation.

As the head of the Shao family, Shao Chongli is mysterious and discreet. It is widely said that he inherited his family’s cold heart and ruthless nature perfectly. Decisive and merciless, he is renowned as the Jade-Faced King of Hell.

Their worlds were clearly separate, and they had nothing to do with each other.

That is, until one day, Cheng Wenhao lost her support and was driven out of her home.

A torrential downpour swallowed the winter night. Wearing only thin clothes, she fell on the road halfway up the mountain, trembling uncontrollably in the wind and rain, pale and fragile.

A Maybach by the roadside suddenly flashed its hazard lights. A man stepped out with an umbrella and came to her side.

Cheng Wenhao looked up. It was none other than Mr. Shao, dressed in a black coat, aloof and aristocratic. He tilted the umbrella toward her and looked down at her. "Come with me?"

Before this, they had only met formally once.

At a jewelry exhibition not long ago, Cheng Wenhao had taken a fancy to a diamond, but someone else had already bought it. A few days later, that very diamond mysteriously arrived in her hands.

The person who gave it to her was Shao Chongli.

-

Cheng Wenhao had no reason to refuse. After all, to others, she had just fallen from the clouds only to meet someone like Shao Chongli. She was undeniably lucky.

Some envied her, while others sneered, "Of course she's lucky. She planned it all."

Cheng Wenhao neither confirmed nor denied it.

Later, at a private dinner, Shao Chongli's friends teased him. She watched as he flicked the ash from his cigarette and casually came to her defense. "I was the one who'd been plotting this all along."

2.

For a while, everyone knew that Shao Chongli had a girlfriend.

He made a lavish show of buying her an expensive necklace for her birthday, bent down to kiss her amid the crowd, lent her his power and influence, supported her and took responsibility for her, and personally lifted her back to the top.

His favoritism was blatant and had no limits.

No one could have imagined that he would ever be the one to get dumped.

Years later, they met again. The glittering world of fame and fortune was still at Shao Chongli's feet, while Cheng Wenhao was sent to him as a favor.

When their eyes met, he gave her a cold, fleeting glance. There was none of the warmth he once showed her.

Everyone in their circle waited to see her make a fool of herself.

But half an hour later, in the penthouse suite on the top floor,

Cheng Wenhao was pressed forcefully against the full-length mirror by Shao Chongli. Her eyes were red and glassy, and her whole body trembled. The man behind her held her face and bit her neck as if marking her, his voice harsh with restrained fury. "What am I to you?"

"A tool you use to kill someone else, then throw away when you're done?"

-

Everyone says Cheng Wenhao is gentle and well-behaved. Only Shao Chongli knows that this is just a false front. She's a liar. She used him, abandoned him, and even dared to treat him like a villain.

But there's nothing he can do about it. As long as she comes back, Shao Chongli will still love her.

3.

Cheng Wenhao knows how hateful she was back then.

So she is willing to accept any judgment Shao Chongli passes on her.

She never expected that one night, after waking from a nightmare, Shao Chongli would hold her tightly, stroke her cheek with his thumb, and give in with a sigh just as he had before:

"If I could do it all over again, I'd still be your ladder to the clouds."

/

Every look Shao Chongli gives her

is a vast, romantic whirlpool of love. She cannot escape it.
