Caught in a Tide of Desire

【A deceptively gentle fox × a passionate young master devoted solely to her】 Her boyfriend of many years, Xian Xingli, asks Chen Lingyi to seduce his older brother, all to settle his enormous debts. That night, when Xian Ze sees the tears shimmering in her eyes, he stops what he’s doing and presses a kiss to her forehead... Later, Xian Ze risks his life to protect her and gently tells her not to be afraid. By sheer luck, Chen Lingyi is reborn as the pampered little princess of her family. But she encounters Xian Ze at the darkest point in his life. That year, he is charged with attempted murder, and Chairman Xian sends him to court to protect the family’s reputation. Chen Lingyi rushes to the detention center in the middle of the night. Seeing the once all-powerful business leader reduced to a prisoner, she acts on impulse and takes Xian Ze home. At first, she only wants to repay Xian Ze for saving her and get her revenge, then walk away without a backward glance. But no matter how much she plays dumb or makes herself look plain, Xian Ze refuses to let her go. She discusses the latest luxury releases with her best friend, and the next day they show up at her home. When people smear her, Xian Ze deals with them before the news even reaches her. Rumors suddenly spread that she took money from Xian Xingli and approached Xian Ze with ulterior motives. Just as she thinks Xian Ze will finally stop pursuing her, she sees an unexpected man late one night. Broad shoulders, a chiseled six-pack, a scorching gaze, and a beauty mark beneath his eye. He presses her stubbornly for an answer. “Money, power, status: I can give you more of all of them. Will you try to love me?” Good grief, she never said she wanted to repay him for saving her life like this!
