At twenty-eight, Ye Ningshuang won the Best Actress award.
Young, beautiful, successful, and in a relationship everyone envied with the handsome, wealthy young heir of Xingyu Entertainment.
Having gone from an orphan with no parents, living under someone else's roof, to where she was now, Ye Ningshuang treasured everything she had. She would never let anyone ruin her perfect life.
Never.
Until one day, she accompanied her boyfriend to a business reception.
The room was full of elegant clothes and clinking glasses.
She suddenly felt a gaze fixed firmly on her.
"Found you."

As one of Haishi's hottest rising tycoons, Ji Qingkai was only twenty-nine, yet already immensely wealthy.
He was handsome and refined, and always gentle and courteous with people.
Everyone envied him, but felt sorry for him too. Whenever his name came up, people would inevitably sigh, "What a pity he lost his right arm. He's disabled."
A bold reporter once asked why.
Ji Qingkai only lowered his eyes, quietly rubbing a thin, plain black hair tie around his wrist. He smiled faintly and said nothing.

A few years ago, in a damp alley, rain poured down.
Mud covered him. A cleaver cut into his right arm, and stark white bone showed beneath the wound.
Back then, Ji Qingkai was in a wretched state. He knelt on the ground, clutching his wound, and watched her turn and leave in a sports car.
Today, years later, he held power greater than her boyfriend's. He tossed banknotes of staggering value at Ye Ningshuang.
"I'm richer than all of them. Come on, play with me."

A very long but reader-friendly list of content warnings:
1. The heroine has sexual experience, the hero does not. Neither lead is a paragon of virtue, and neither has much of a conscience. They're an extremely unhinged, combative couple, the kind who draw blood even when they kiss. The heroine is very self-interested and, before they reunite, has never loved anyone. Romance is just a tool for climbing the ladder. Please be cautious if that bothers you.
2. The hero really is disabled. He's missing his right arm but has a prosthetic. A cold, mechanical arm is so appealing, and so is a man driven mad, made humble, and pushed to the breaking point by his disability.
3. The male characters are all sexually inexperienced. Three of them get a little more romance-focused writing. The male lead has already been decided and won't change.
4. At first, the leads can't stand each other and oppose each other at every turn. The hero also takes various forms of revenge on the heroine. Please be cautious if you dislike that!
5. The entertainment industry storyline isn't very long, and the flashbacks and present-day timeline each make up about half.
6. At its core, this is a self-indulgent collection of wild kinks and tropes, so here's another warning: even if you're okay with everything above, please proceed with caution. Enjoy reading.
7. More warnings may be added later...
