Ruthless older, doting father-figure CEO x gentle, gorgeous, talented superstar

Tan Yizheng was the son left behind by the first wife of the Tan family's eldest son, and is now the least favored member of the family. With his gloomy personality and venomous, snake-like eyes, few people dared provoke him, and nobody wanted anything to do with him.
Ye Yanxia was Jinghai City's most dazzling young lady. She treated people gently and was one of the few in her circle to earn her place at Jing University through her own efforts. Suitors came one after another, and even the stray cats and dogs she passed couldn't help gravitating toward her.
The two had nothing to do with each other, yet someone claimed to have seen Tan Yizheng with an arm around Ye Yanxia's waist, kissing her at a villa halfway up the mountain.

Later, whenever people mentioned Tan Yizheng, they couldn't help flattering him, openly or otherwise. At twenty-five, he had successfully sent his entire family to prison. Now he was half the sky over Jinghai City's business world, and people hoping to marry into his family crowded his mother's villa.
As for Ye Yanxia, what was a mere Jing University student worth? They said her ex-boyfriend had used and then dumped her. What a poor thing. She disappeared one day, and no one ever saw her again.
Meanwhile, an obscure stand-in actress named Li Xia had appeared on the set of a film adaptation of a major hit franchise.

When Tan Yizheng went to visit his top-tier star girlfriend, he saw someone on set: Ye Yanxia, whom he had once used and approached in order to seize power.
Looking at Ye Yanxia wearing another man's coat, Tan Yizheng burned his hand with falling cigarette ash. His expression was unreadable. "All the clothes she's wearing aren't worth as much as one bag of dog food she once bought for a stray."

The all-powerful head of the Tan family was an expert at humiliating people, using the things Ye Yanxia cared about most to threaten her.
"Whether this production gets made is up to you, isn't it? Make it worth my while."
The sound of a child outside calling for his mother made Tan Yizheng seethe with jealousy. "That five-year-old bastard outside the door: if you don't come see me tonight, I'll make sure you never see him again."
Ye Yanxia's eyes were already red as she summoned all her strength and slapped Tan Yizheng across the face. "He's my child with someone else. You don't get a say."

Everyone in Jinghai City knew the head of the Tan family was ruthless and never gave in. Yet later, someone saw him kneeling outside a small courtyard in the suburbs of Jinghai on a day of heavy snowfall, all night long.
Even when he fainted, nobody inside came out to look. As he collapsed, he was still calling, "Youyou, forgive me."
A little boy came out of the courtyard holding an umbrella. "My mom says some people in this world don't deserve forgiveness, not in their whole lives. Please leave my home."
