In 1993, the head of Hong Kong Island's Jin family was renowned as a kind and virtuous gentleman. He gave to charity, supported public causes, and treated everyone with perfect manners. Even the sharp-tongued Hong Kong media had nothing but praise for him.

Tang Meier came from mainland China to Hong Kong, determined to make something of herself. She was endlessly grateful to have a mentor like Jin Sinian.

From Mia Tang, she became the formidable lawyer Tang, a woman everyone treated with respect.

She knew she owed her success to Mr. Jin's support.

Tang Meier also knew that the secrets of this universally admired gentleman that had passed through her hands included:

The tampering with the old master's will;

The private dealings with the Swiss accounts;

The ruthless purges within the company;

And,

The careless smile he wore after dark, when he sat with his legs apart on the sofa, a cigarette between his fingers, and lifted her chin with one hand. Tang Meier knew that smile all too well.

The one thing she was the last to learn was that Jin Sinian didn't love her.

Those who are obsessed can't dream forever. At last, one day, Tang Meier faced reality.

At the card table, Jin Youzhi shuffled the cards with lazy ease, over and over, but never took his eyes off the woman behind Jin Sinian.

He made a joking suggestion: "Let's play a round. If you lose, she's mine. How about it?"

Later, Tang Meier went with Jin Youzhi. He was a wild stallion of a man, yet he reformed for her, giving up his old ways and even handing her the seat of Mrs. Jin.

The night before the engagement party.

The reception had ended. Four bodyguards stood beside the Rolls-Royce, and no one dared approach.

Faint handprints marked the tightly shut, dark window.

Tang Meier braced herself and clenched her teeth.

"Mr. Jin, please show some restraint."

In the cramped car, the scent of cologne mingled with warmth, hemming her in. Jin Sinian smiled as he leaned close to her ear, but his voice was more strained than ever.

"You wanted to be Mrs. Jin so badly. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"My younger brother can give you what you want. So can I."
