Summary
After being betrayed by her fiancé, Xing Shu decided to retaliate in the most unexpected way—by targeting his elusive and enigmatic uncle, Cheng Lang.
In a lavish bedroom, amidst tangled sheets, Cheng Lang tilted her chin up, a dark prayer bead bracelet sliding down his wrist as his calm eyes studied her. Known in social circles as a pious, celibate man untouched by worldly desires, his name was often whispered with reverence.
But Xing Shu discovered that even gods could fall.
Winning him over was surprisingly simple—soft words, coy glances, and just enough vulnerability. She learned quickly that beneath his solemn exterior, Cheng Lang could be melted with a whisper.
The social elites of Jing City were convinced she was just a passing amusement. “She’s using him—he’ll discard her in no time,” they scoffed. “She’s nothing but a social climber.”
Yet behind closed doors, the story was quite different.
When she once mentioned parting ways, Cheng Lang held her close, his voice low and dangerous, “Say that again, and see what happens.”
And just like that, the untouchable Cheng Lang—the man placed on a pedestal by all—was dragged into the messy, intoxicating world of romance. For the first time, he felt what it was like to live not as a distant icon, but as a man deeply in love.
