One evening, on a rainy night,

she gave the performance of her life in a competition broadcast live around the world.

When she returned to her hotel, she saw someone standing at the door, drenched from head to toe.

Jiang Zao stepped closer to see who it was.

Shen Huai took a step back and removed his coat, keeping the chill from reaching her. "You don't answer my calls or reply to my texts. Mrs. Shen, why are you so disobedient?"

Blurb:

Cunning, ambitious schemer x innocent heiress from an old family

Stealing someone's lover / possessive pursuit / romantic tension

In this age of self-interest, everyone is an ambitious schemer.

The Xiang family is no exception.

Hoping to get a share of the entertainment industry, the family used the older generation's connections to get Xiang Chenxi a job at the Heng Group. She became the special assistant to Heng Zihuai, the man who single-handedly brought the company back from the brink.

For months after joining the Heng Group, Xiang Chenxi never once saw Heng Zihuai.

She didn't mind.

In fact, she hoped that she and Heng Zihuai would always remain strangers.

Then one day, on a stormy, rainy night in Beijing, someone knocked on the Xiang family's door.

When it opened, the young master of the Heng family, rumored in business circles to be as vicious as a scorpion, pulled a notebook from inside his coat, flicked the raindrops off it, and held it out to the person inside. "Forgot this?" He remembered her always carrying it and treating it like something precious.

She stood quietly in the doorway. "You can have it back. I don't want to study anymore."

Heng Zihuai's eyes darkened, but his voice remained patient and gentle. "Then what do you like? I'll learn it."

The woman was even colder. "No need. I have a new teacher now."

Her vision went black. The door slammed shut, and beneath the dim light, she was pinned in a cramped space as raindrops splashed onto the back of her hand.

Heng Zihuai caught a drop of rain with his fingertip and pressed it to her lips, rubbing it there patiently. The damp water was cold, and as it slid down her lips, it left a lingering bitterness.

He said, "I don't agree."

The year the Heng Group was on the verge of collapse, eighteen-year-old Heng Zihuai was pushed into the chairman's seat. He plotted his every move and brought the company back from the brink.

Afterward, he attracted the attention of many heiresses from prominent families, but he paid them no mind.

Rumor had it that this was because he had fallen for a woman, and that woman was also the beloved of the young master of the Lu family. The more outrageous rumors claimed Heng Zihuai had locked her in a villa and kept her as a canary, even going so far as to offend the young master of the Lu family.

No one believed that Heng Zihuai, a man who schemed at every turn, cared only about profit, and put the Heng Group above all else, would let love cloud his judgment.

That is, until someone online photographed the young master of the Lu family standing outside Heng Zihuai's house, furiously pounding on the door.
