The Ultimate Addiction

Her family has been stripped of its assets, her parents' belongings are being sold off by force, and she is being married off to an old man in a political match for the third time. In her desperate circumstances, only one of the capital's third-generation power players can help her escape this trap. One loves her but has no power to wield. The other feels nothing for her, yet holds power in his hands. Shen Ruo pursues the latter without hesitation, doing everything she can to win him over. She needs no one to remind her that these young masters have bloodless, unfeeling hearts in their very nature. Xie Lanqing draws her into a whirlpool of desire, and she sinks with him, without a hint of regret.

The capital is in turmoil, secrets are revealed, and the two meet again amid the wreckage. Shen Ruo chooses to make a graceful exit and leave the capital to pursue further studies. That night, every flight to Japan is grounded. The man leans against his car, strikingly handsome and tall, a cigarette between his lips. He reaches out, catches her slender waist, and pulls her into his arms, reproaching her coldly: “Nannan, you disobedient girl. Playing with other dogs again.”

He is heartless; she is clear-eyed. They are destined to become unrecognizable to each other and go their separate ways. But later, when her life hangs by a thread, it is still the young Master Xie, who claims not to lose himself in love, who saves her from danger.

In the red sands of the Su Sisi Li Desert, Shen Ruo takes in the sights and photographs, her gauzy dress accentuating her graceful figure, dazzling and incomparable. Young Master Xie follows her nonchalantly. He picks up the high heel the girl has left behind, a smile playing in his noble eyes as he calls tenderly, “Be good, Nannan. Come home with me.”
