Thorns of the Dark Night

[CEO’s Exclusive Love + A Concubine-Born Daughter’s Rise + Sweet and Angsty Drama + High Society]

The night the Lin family went bankrupt, Lin Yixin, the least favored and youngest daughter, was sent as “collateral” to the top-floor office of the Cha Empire, offered to the man who controlled everything: Cha Yingzhe.

“From today on, you have only one identity: you belong to me.” The man pronounced her fate in a voice almost cruel in its coldness.

She knew it was a humiliation. He tore apart her self-respect and forbade anyone from helping her. He watched her struggle with cold indifference, appearing only when she was at her most desperate to tell her from on high, “Want your dignity? Climb up here and take it yourself.”

Everyone said Cha Yingzhe was the business world’s living King of Hell: cold, merciless, ruthless, violent-tempered, and insatiable.

Yet no one could have imagined he would teach her to handle a gun with his own hands, help her enter the cutthroat world of business, and let her glimpse the deepest secret he kept hidden.

In the end, using the very methods he had taught her, she stood at the boardroom podium and backed him into a corner. Cha Yingzhe, however, gripped her chin and chuckled, “What a shame. From now on, you’ll have to learn how to be Mrs. Cha.”

In this contest of power and emotion, is it control or redemption, love or submission, or an even deeper abyss?

Will she turn her fate around, or sink into it completely?
