Stranded in Kyoto, I Was Taken in by a Powerful Figure

Lu Wang is a legendary, mysterious trader in the financial world. Three years ago, he shorted a Wall Street giant overnight, wiping out tens of billions. Three years later, under the spotlights at a financial summit in Kyoto, he is framed by his senior apprentice brother. A forged piece of “insider trading” evidence drags him from the heights into the mire. Penniless, he ends up on the streets of Kyoto. Everyone thinks he's finished. Until, late at night, a black Maybach stops in front of him. The window rolls down, revealing a stunning, icy face: Li Qingrou, head of the Qinghe faction and “Kyoto's most beautiful blade.” She looks at him for ten seconds and says two words: “Get in.” No one knows that her father left her one final instruction before he died: “Find someone who can read the water level.” And no one knows that seeing Lu Wang watching the market from the roadside reminded her of her father, who refused to admit defeat twenty years ago. He is a fallen financial tycoon, and she is a sect leader trapped in a game of chess. His senior brother's pursuit, the schemes on the board, a short-selling plot by foreign capital, and the truth behind her parents' deaths three years ago: when all the pieces are set on the board, Lu Wang finally realizes that he wasn't the only one taken in that night. “I've thought it over. The best investment I've ever made was letting you take me home that night.”
