The Tycoon's Son and the Swan's Pact

On a stormy night, Shen Xinghe, the second young master of the Shen family, dies in a dark alley.

The next second, a thousand-year-old golden toad possesses him. Dragging his injured body, he barges into the Gu family's birthday banquet.

He intends to use his new identity among the rich and powerful to prolong his life, but backstage, Gu Qingqiu presses a knife to his throat from her wheelchair.

Gu Qingqiu is the most dangerous heir in the Gu family. She appears aloof and frail, but in reality she's ruthless and steady-handed.

She lays traps in the boardroom, plants land mines in legal clauses, and can change the distribution of shares with a single glass of wine.

Shen Xinghe should have been an unforeseen variable in her plans, yet he becomes the blade she wields most smoothly, and the one she can least control.

He wants to stay alive; she wants to seize power.

He can't stray too far from her, or the backlash will make him go blind.

She can't let him run wild, or she'll lose everything.

So the two sign an alliance:

By day, they fight side by side in business wars; by night, they probe each other's secrets.

In public, they're partners bound by mutual interest. In private, whoever falls for the other first loses.

When “freezing assets” escalates into “legally erasing someone,”

when the police, stock exchange, and board of directors all close in at once,

they finally realize that the hardest part isn't beating the villains,

but still treating each other as human beings while using each other as weapons.
