Her mother, living far away in England, sent the happy news that she was getting remarried.
The man was a wealthy businessman, and he had a son.
The car drove through an enormous estate, taking ten minutes to reach the entrance. Tang Zhiyuan felt nervous. She looked up distractedly and caught a glimpse of a dignified silhouette in the dim light.
Without warning, a storm broke beneath the calm.
Five months earlier, when the man's intentions had been blatantly obvious, she had turned him down calmly: "Mr. Gu, I already have a boyfriend."

Gu Yanhe, the head of a top-tier dynasty. They say that to seize power, he personally had his father admitted to a mental hospital, three times in all.
He was ruthless and wanton, yet the most powerful man around.
Tang Zhiyuan was proud and refused to submit. When she finally fell out with him, she was ready to die for it.
A sharp slap rang out.
The entire room held its breath, frozen in terrified silence.
The braver onlookers glanced sideways and saw Gu Yanhe gripping the woman's slender wrist, lowering his head toward her:
"You smell so good."

Reader's Guide
1. The male lead is a scheming flirt who fights and grabs for what he wants, stopping at nothing to get his way (including doing some things in secret, if you know what I mean).
2. The heroine has a boyfriend before the hero appears.
3. The heroine has some moral failings. Please don't conflate her with the author.
