The Ultimate Addiction

Her relatives tried to seize her inheritance, sold her parents' belongings against her will, and arranged for her to marry a much older man for the third time. In her predicament, only a third-generation heir from Beijing's elite circles could help her turn things around.

One man loved her, but had no power to wield.

The other was heartless, yet held all the power.

Shen Ruo pursued the latter without hesitation, doing everything she could to win him over.

She needed no one to warn her. Shen Ruo knew these young masters had been born with cold, unfeeling blood in their veins.

Xie Lanqing led her into a whirlpool of pleasure, and she followed him down without a trace of regret.

Beijing was in turmoil. Secrets came to light, and they met again amid the wreckage.

Shen Ruo chose to make a graceful exit and leave Beijing to pursue further studies.

That night, all flights to Japan were grounded.

The man leaned against his car, strikingly handsome and tall. With a cigarette between his lips, he reached out, gripped her slender waist, and pulled her into his arms, reproaching her coldly: "Nannan, you naughty girl. Playing with other dogs again."

He was heartless, and she was clear-eyed.

They were destined to become strangers, each going their own way.

But later,

when her life hung by a thread and she was in grave danger,

it was still the young Master Xie, who never gave his heart to love, who rescued her.

The red sands of the Sossusvlei Desert.

Shen Ruo wandered for inspiration and took photos. Her gauzy dress accentuated her graceful figure, radiant and incomparable.

Master Xie followed her nonchalantly. He picked up the high heel the young woman had left behind, a smile playing in his refined eyes as he called to her gently: "Be good, Nannan. Come home with me."
