Summary
Radiant, pampered heiress of a wealthy family x high-ranking, psychopathic capital magnate
Beijing elite circle / Ten-year age gap / Extreme possessiveness / Utmost indulgence
The youngest daughter of the Shen Family, Shen Jingni, was born dazzling and beautiful, raised in luxury and adored by all like the stars encircling the moon.
Because of a batch of Song Brocade, by a twist of fate, Shen Jingni accidentally provoked the much-feared, mad capital magnate Zhao Zonglan.
Everyone in the circle knew Zhao Zonglan wielded immense power, wealthy enough to rival a country, cold-hearted and indifferent, and his methods were even more ruthless and unhinged.
Many speculated that Miss Shen, raised in a honey jar, would surely suffer if she provoked Mr. Zhao.
Yet not long after, rumors spread that the head of the Zhao Family-Zhao Zonglan, known for his aversion to women and mysterious private life-was utterly smitten with Shen Jingni and spoiled her extravagantly. He gave her the very best and protected her career at every turn.
One day-
Several friends came to visit Zijing Sandalwood Court, the Zhao Family estate.
By chance, they caught sight of the always noble and proud Mr. Zhao, squatting down before Shen Jingni, speaking to her softly and coaxing her to eat: “Be good, darling, open your mouth.”
Shen Jingni turned her head away in protest and, even more arrogantly, lifted her foot and kicked his chest. “Zhao Zonglan, you’re so annoying.”
But the man wasn’t angered at all, still coaxing her patiently: “Come on, just one bite, and I’ll transfer that piece of land in Western Beijing to your name-you can do whatever you want with it, hmm?”
Their friends were stunned. That plot of land was worth billions; outsiders fought over it desperately, and here he was, using it just to persuade a young lady to eat? Truly a foolish monarch.
That year, at Puji Temple, with just a fleeting glance, Zhao Zonglan was determined to make that radiant young girl his own. Thankfully, the Bodhisattva was merciful and finally allowed him his greedy and reckless longing.
