Surrounded by a Pack of Wolves

The Huo family, a wealthy merchant clan in Hong Kong, has a daughter so beautiful it hardly seems real. She is pampered and privileged, cherished by her parents and three older brothers. Until the real heiress shows up at their door with a paternity test. Jiang Wu goes from Hong Kong’s adored belle of high society to the nanny’s daughter. No longer their biological little sister, the porcelain doll is suddenly surrounded by wolves. Jiang Wu doesn’t notice a thing. She just cries in wounded dismay. “Big Brother, does this mean I can’t go to Paris Fashion Week next month, vacation in Dubai, or get my custom Hermès Kellydoll and butterfly diamond cake?” The man’s broad shoulders and arms fill out his suit as he sits on the leather sofa. His large, veined hand gently pats her back. “I have an idea.” Jiang Wu looks up at him, tears in her eyes. But Huo Qingzhi’s gaze is deep and unreadable. “Marry me.” Jiang Wu admits that when she married Huo Qingzhi in a fit of anger, she meant it as revenge and never took it seriously. But later, the Hong Kong paparazzi fail to catch Jiang Wu in disgrace. Instead, she continues to come and go with the Huo family as usual. Her second brother takes her out to clear her head, and her third brother throws her a yacht party. She’s even acting intimately with the eldest Huo son, the most cold and unapproachable of them all. The media can’t help asking what their relationship is. Jiang Wu explains sweetly, “They’re just my brothers.” Late at night, tears at the corners of Jiang Wu’s eyes are shaken loose. Huo Qingzhi roughly rubs his long fingers over her reddened eyes. “Just your brothers?” “Do either of them treat you like this?” When their secret marriage is exposed, Jiang Wu discovers… her three brothers are fighting.
