Two-Faced, Gorgeous Office Drone Songstress × Apex Predator Above the Clouds
By day, Cheng Youjian is a bespectacled office drone, tucked away in her cubicle. By night, she sheds her disguise and becomes Alicia, the bar's most alluring and mysterious songstress.
By chance, he once listened to her sing an entire set from a corner. Her voice was like a hook, instantly capturing his heart.
A check for an astronomical sum was delivered backstage, but she returned it untouched. Her rejection landed like a silent slap across the face of his all-too-confident plans.
In a narrow alley on a rainy night, he blocked her path with an umbrella.
"What Miss Alicia wants is more than money..."
She lifted her eyes, her red lips curling into a mocking smile.
"What I want, Mr. Wei can't give me."
"Oh?"
He lowered the edge of his umbrella. His cool, crisp scent hemmed her in, leaving her nowhere to go.
Was there really anything in Ningcheng he couldn't give her?
"Like what?"
"Like staying away from me."
He smiled.
The more she resisted, the more he wanted to crush her pride.
Then, by a twist of fate, he parachuted in as the executive director of Cheng Youjian's company.
By day, she wore awkward glasses and kept her head down at her desk, treading carefully.
By night, she danced around him at the bar.
Then, during a team-building outing, she was pushed into the water amid the chaos.
Unable to swim, she swallowed water and began to suffocate.
He pulled her out, pressing her against his rain-soaked shirt.
"Come on, cry out! What's the harm in begging me once?"
The water knocked off her glasses. Beneath her wet hair, the face that had haunted his thoughts night after night was suddenly revealed!
His pupils contracted. He pinned her against the side of the pool, gritting his teeth.
"Cheng Youjian! How dare you play me?!"
Later, word spread through their circle that the cold, sensual financier, whose mere glance could make his rivals collapse, had finally fallen in love.
On a damp, rainy night, she was held tight against the wall.
The man pressed against her, breathing raggedly, all his arrogance stripped away.
He reverently kissed the red mark on her neck.
"Cheng Youjian, you win."
He built a cage for her high above the clouds, never realizing that she was the true beast tamer, blazing with allure in the night!
