The Boiling Point of Tenderness

Xie Zhiwei, the only daughter of the Xie family, had been doted on by everyone around her, but romance never went smoothly. The refined campus heartthrob Qin Mo came from a poor family. He started dating Xie Zhiwei when he was broke, so she carefully hid her wealthy heiress identity to keep him from feeling inferior, and spent six months living on plain, frugal meals with him. But the moment Qin Mo got an offer from a prestigious international university, he cut Xie Zhiwei out of his life. Li Xingtan, the beloved eldest grandson of the wealthy Li family, had been Xie Zhiwei’s childhood friend for ten years. Only after Qin Mo went abroad did he finally win the girl he’d coveted for so long. He’d barely had time to enjoy having her as his girlfriend when news broke of a terrible thing he’d done years ago, and it hit one of Xie Zhiwei’s sore spots. One after another, they were all treating her terribly! In a fit of anger, Xie Zhiwei turned around and got engaged to Han Xingzhou, the eldest grandson of the Han family. Han Xingzhou was a powerful investor in the finance world. Young but ruthless, he’d amassed a vast fortune in just ten years. His marriage prospects had always drawn attention. Nearly every elite family in the capital had approached the Han family to sound him out, but he’d never given them an answer. If the capital’s heiresses hadn’t managed to win him over after years of trying, then surely an outsider family like the Xies had no chance. Who could have guessed that, somehow, he’d end up with Xie Zhiwei? Once the engagement was official, news that her ex-boyfriend Li Xingtan had failed to win her hand and then harmed himself badly enough to be hospitalized began trending. And Qin Mo, her ex before him, returned from abroad in glory. When he ran into his old love, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he wanted to get back into this game of love, too. But no one knew that Han Xingzhou, so restrained and distant in public, had secretly learned every trick for dealing with romantic rivals: He knew how to fight for her and claim her, too.
