/Strategic mastermind x gentle, delicate beauty | Illegitimate son x first love

/Wealthy family | Taking by force | Push and pull to the extreme

Everyone in the capital knows that the Tan family is full of talented people and plagued by vicious infighting.

No one expected that in this den of wolves and tigers, the one who would fight his way to the top would be a little-known illegitimate son.

As soon as Tan Yu took over as head of the family, he launched a sweeping overhaul of the entire Tan family.

Everyone who had looked down on him or humiliated him came to a bad end.

That included Luo Yixuan.

The illegitimate son she once thought wasn't even worthy of being called a playboy had transformed into Third Young Master Tan, someone she couldn't afford to offend.

During the eight years Tan Yu spent clawing his way to the top, times changed. Luo Yixuan went from the second daughter of the Luo family, who looked down on everyone and had glory beyond compare, to someone who fell from grace and plummeted into the ordinary world overnight.

--

Luo Yixuan always thought Tan Yu married her to humiliate her and avenge the way she'd once treated him with contempt and cruelty.

And she was willing to give herself to him only so that one day the Luo family could rise again.

She hated him, feared him, even resented him. Tan Yu knew all of that, yet he was hopelessly caught up in her and couldn't break free.

When his feelings grew intense, he would pin her to his chest and ask over and over whether she loved him.

Just as he thought his superior position gave him the upper hand and a sure victory, she left a divorce agreement without warning and disappeared.

That year, an exceptionally heavy snowstorm hit the capital, shutting down the highways.

Tan Yu, who had always kept his feelings hidden, went mad. The media caught him drinking himself into a stupor at a bar. He had already been plagued by scandalous rumors, and from then on he behaved even more recklessly, without a care in the world.

Then, one spring two years later, in a dim, shadowy alley,

he saw her again.

They were alone. After a round of verbal humiliation and teasing, the two stood on the brink of a fight.

She struggled desperately to break free and slapped him hard.

"Luo Yixuan, I was wrong before."

The man winced, licked his bitten lip, and looked at her with eyes so deep that the light in them had nearly gone out.

"I thought you were just heartless. Turns out you don't have a heart at all."

/Tears are the smallest river; love is the strongest bridge.

/The most intimate thing two people can do isn't kiss, but begin to cry while looking into each other's eyes.
