Burning Desire in the Capital's Elite Circle

The novel is complete, and I'm revising it from time to time. Please support the official version, everyone!~

◆ Sweetly seductive, spoiled heiress & cool, reserved flirt

◆ Two wealthy families * evenly matched * charged push and pull * everyday life in Beijing's elite circles * flirtatious heroine

Everyone knew the Shi family was a deep pool, and the daughters of prominent families steered clear of it, especially its new head, Shi Xianchi, who kept his handsome face cold and treated everyone with ruthless indifference.

Yu Zhaojin had always been unconventional, free-spirited, and impulsive. On her first trip to Beijing, she was drawn to Mr. Shi.

Her friend, who knew her well, warned her to think twice. "You're such a pampered princess. How could you put up with him?"

Yu Zhaojin spotted Shi Xianchi walking toward them. Her bright eyes gleamed with the sly mischief of a little fox. "I like a challenge."

From a distance, the man stood tall and straight. His black suit lent him an air of cool restraint. He said nothing, his deep, dark eyes full of indifference and distance.

Later, those same eyes darkened, shadows roiling in their depths. On a luxurious cruise ship, the man's hand traced her waist, his touch charged with desire. "How big a challenge do you want this time?"

-

This time, Yu Zhaojin took a big risk, only to find she'd gone too far. When she realized she couldn't rein things in, she packed and ran in the middle of the night.

But on the third day after she returned, she saw that outwardly indifferent man sitting on her family's sofa, chatting and laughing with her father.

Her shopping bags fell to the floor. Her big, watery eyes looked innocent and obedient. "Daddy, why didn't you tell me we had a guest?"

"Don't call him a guest. He's your fiance."

Yu Zhaojin: "??"

To marry her, Shi Xianchi chased her from Beijing to Haicheng. In just three days, he grandly gathered every rare treasure and antique for her, then formally sought her hand with the highest honors and the full array of betrothal gifts.

That night, the lofty man knelt on one knee, his shirt open at the collar to reveal the chest she'd caressed countless times. Yu Zhaojin was instantly swept off her feet.

His kisses fell one by one on her pale ankles, his eyes turning dark and dangerous. "You seduced me, then tried to abandon me? Zhaozhao, you can't play around and then walk away like that."

[Bonus scene]

Everyone thought no one could ever win the heart of Shi Xianchi, that aloof beauty on the mountaintop.

One day, beneath the table at their lavish wedding banquet, a woman's long, pale legs brushed against the man's tailored suit trousers, seemingly by accident.

"Everyone says you're hard to handle. Do you want to deny it?"

Shi Xianchi's face was impassive, but his low voice, slipping from his thin lips, was enough to make her shiver. "Come here. I can kiss you in front of everyone."

Thinking of her recent achievements, Yu Zhaojin's face grew hot. This reserved flirt was getting more and more skilled.

What she didn't know was that from the moment she leaned against him, soft and sweet, he had become a beast, calculating every move to claim his prey, longing day and night to make her his.

***** Coming next: Marriage Before Love: Shattered Spring *****

Old-fashioned daddy | The old flame rekindles | He falls first

As the eldest daughter of a Hong Kong media tycoon, Yu Ruoli grew up adored by everyone, living a carefree and uninhibited life. Her two younger brothers spoiled her without limit.

One might expect an heiress raised in such luxury to be naive and sheltered, but she understood the ways of the world and was especially cool-headed when it came to love.

At their first meeting, she thought the rumored Mr. Shen was stiff and boring.

At their next meeting, she found him at her family's dinner table. He was eloquent and refined, and had somehow become her fiance. That night, the young heiress acted against convention.

She flirted with him and clung to him, trying every trick to expose his image as a perfect gentleman.

But he had seen right through her. He met her gaze with a gentlemanly calm. "Miss Sheng, after we marry, we can be a respectful couple and stay out of each other's way."

This was the first time Yu Ruoli had ever suffered a setback.

-

When news of their arranged marriage spread, everyone was stunned. People speculated that these two, who had nothing in common, would probably end up divorced.

After registering their marriage, Yu Ruoli was completely satisfied with her "husband on paper." He wouldn't expect her to fulfill her marital duties in bed, and he wouldn't try to control her.

At a house party, a friend asked how married life was. She smiled and replied, "Home-cooked flowers are fragrant, but wild flowers are even more tempting."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Yu Ruoli sensed a dangerous presence surrounding her. She turned back sheepishly and met the man's inscrutable gaze.

In full view of everyone, he seized her waist, his eyes seeming ready to take her apart and devour her.

"I thought you liked gentle, considerate men. It seems I was wrong."

-

Six months into their marriage, Yu Ruoli had never imagined Shen Yunting would be so utterly shameless when he lost control.

His scorching, intense presence swept over her, leaving her nowhere to hide.

All night, he thrust deep inside her again and again, until tears blurred the corners of her eyes. "You said we wouldn't interfere with each other's lives..."

Shen Yunting leaned close to her ear, breathing heavily as he murmured, "Baby, I want nothing more than to tear you apart."

He had long wanted to turn into a ferocious beast, craving possession of her day and night.
