A chaste, domineering CEO x a jaded heiress x a puppy-like younger brother who's watching her like a hawk
At a late-night auction aboard a cruise ship, the weary-eyed heiress casually bids 90 million for the Heart of Radiance.
After the auction, Shen Sinian watches the heiress with his own eyes. A cigarette between the fingers of her left hand, she exhales a ring of smoke through her red lips. With her right hand, she idly toys with the Heart of Radiance, glittering in the moonlight and coveted by the city's wealthy ladies.
With a slight turn of her wrist, the heiress tosses the gem into the sea. She spends 90 million just to hear it splash, without even a flicker of emotion.
Shen Sinian's heart plunges into the deep sea named Nan Jia along with it.
After a night of passionate kisses and sleep, the cruise ship reaches its destination. The heiress disappears, and Shen Sinian is left wondering if it was all a dream. Apart from a diamond earring, she leaves nothing behind.

Shen Sinian is a rare young talent among Haicheng's powerful families. He stands at the top of the world of wealth and fame, yet all the glitz, glamour, and indulgence can't intoxicate him. He is always terrifyingly clear-headed.
But on the day his younger brother gets engaged, Shen Sinian loses himself for the first time when he sees the woman holding his brother's hand, fingers interlaced with his.
The diamond earring in his hand burns so hot he can barely hold it.
As the engagement banquet continues, Shen Sinian takes his younger brother's fiancee by the hand and leads her to a secluded corner to demand an explanation. All she says is, "What, are you afraid your brother will find out we slept together?"

Shen Sixing has always loved Nan Jia.
He has always felt that he was destined to be drawn to her. She's cold and mysterious, distant and aloof.
But when you get close to her, you can see her vulnerability and resilience. How could he not love her?
Shen Sixing thought he was the happiest man alive, until that day.
He saw his fiancee kissing his dearest brother in the stairwell. Their kiss seemed to last forever, full of desperate longing, as if they were the perfect couple and he was the one who didn't belong.
But why should it be that way? He's the one who's best suited for Nan Jia. Even if it's his brother, he can't steal Nan Jia's attention from him.
