Spoiled Beyond Measure

The dazzling beauty × the cold, arrogant big shot

From the heroine’s perspective, one reckless night. From the hero’s perspective, a long-planned scheme.

That night at Nanyuan, Shen Zhiyi accidentally drank wine that had been spiked. With no one to turn to, she stood there in confusion, crying as she tried to imagine the man she’d loved for ten years abandoning her.

In the silent private room, someone suddenly spoke from the corner, revealing a strikingly handsome, chiseled face. He lounged in a chair and leaned toward her, his sharp, dark eyes narrowing as he spoke in a leisurely tone, as if the idea had just occurred to him.

“Why not come with me?”

He stood at the top of the pyramid, a powerful figure everyone feared. Shen Zhiyi knew better than to offend him, and in that instant, his dazzling presence bewitched her.

She agreed. “All right.”

From then on, everyone knew that the reclusive heir to the Pei family kept a canary behind closed doors, showering her with resources and countless jewels. They also joked, “How long can he spoil her? It’s all an act, a fleeting illusion.”

Shen Zhiyi understood that. So she never let herself fall for him, waiting only for the day he grew tired of her.

When she heard he had a new companion, she tried to pull away. But he gently kissed her fingertips, then pressed his lips to her palm. His eyes fell shut, his coldness gone and his pride dissolved.

“There’s only ever been you, from beginning to end.”

She had no idea how his love had consumed him for ten years, nor did she know that every night in his dreams, he saw the shadow of her every smile and frown.

He wanted to imprison her, keep her by his side, and beg her to love him.
