Heat and Roses

Cool, elegant jewelry designer × brooding, devoted tycoon and dad.

Five years ago, the white rose became an intern at his company. His heart skipped a beat, and he was willing to wager everything to keep her by his side. Four years ago, she went on a drive with another man while pregnant. Photos of their car accident spread across all of Haishi, and everyone laughed at him: So what if he was devoted? He was still a cuckold! He refused to listen or look, using every means at his disposal to take down all the photos. He gave her a grand funeral, and overnight became a father to a daughter and a single-dad CEO. Four years later, she returned with her fiancé…

“You don't realize that turning me down is more dangerous than accepting me, do you?”

“I am your faithful believer, and I will spend the rest of my life forging a path of pilgrimage.”
