The CEO Hero of This Period Romance Has Gone Mad

Something major recently happened among the four great families of the capital.

He Yuchi, who had moved into the Meng family home in exchange for a favor, not only stole her younger sister's fiance and pretended to be the missing daughter of the Yan family, but also tried to have it both ways. She kept her fiance on the hook while seducing and scheming against the head of the Meng family, hoping to rise in status through a child.

Most importantly, after her deeds were exposed, He Yuchi disappeared without a trace.

As the world buzzed with speculation, no one knew that He Yuchi, who should have escaped abroad and gone off to enjoy her freedom, had actually been kidnapped.

"There's one thing you got right, Qiqi."

Outside the enormous cage encrusted with crystal gemstones, the impeccably dressed man slowly loosened his tie, staring at her as madness gathered bit by bit in his eyes.

"I'm petty, I'm not very tolerant, and I'm controlling."

"But don't forget."

"You're the one who came after me first, Qiqi."

He Yuchi: "...?"

The man was the aloof male lead, the ultimate dream man of a period romance novel: impossibly handsome, wielding immense power, and cold and abstinent behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

But wasn't he supposed to shut his heart to love and live out his days alone? She'd begged him in tears before, and he hadn't so much as softened. And besides...

"Didn't you want to rise in status through a child?"

The man took off his gold-rimmed glasses with his cool, pale fingers and stepped into the cage, like a beast lying in wait as it slowly bared its sharp fangs.

"I'll give you that now."

"Everything."

That day, broken sobs could be heard from inside the crystal cage from time to time.

Only when He Yuchi was exhausted in body and mind did she realize the male lead, that old bastard, had had his eye on her all along.

This old bastard was simply patient and restrained, good at slowly wearing someone down.

Once he sensed she wanted to escape, all that patience and restraint instantly came back to haunt him, turning him into a calm, unhinged hunter.

And by then, it was too late for her to run.
