Top lawyer Lu Xingyu got drunk one night and ran into her ex, Liang Yanzhi. One thing led to another, and under the haze of alcohol, they spent a night of lingering passion together.
The next morning, Lu Xingyu lifted her skirt, walked away, and went on a blind date—with Liang Yanzhi’s cousin. The two hit it off instantly.
Liang Yanzhi cornered her in the restroom, his eyes dark and voice tense:
“Lu Xingyu, do you even have a heart?”
—Five years ago, Lu Xingyu was a celebrated socialite of the Beijing elite, perfectly matched with Liang Yanzhi in both status and affection. But when the Lu family suddenly fell from grace, she knew she was no longer worthy of him and proposed a breakup. Liang Yanzhi thought she had fallen out of love and, in anger, left the country.
In those five years, the stunning Lu Xingyu was molded by her stepfather into a high-society socialite, traded as a pawn for business favors and connections.
After one passionate night, Liang Yanzhi finally realized—he had never been able to let her go.
If she wanted to hide, he would uncover every secret.
If she wanted revenge, he would become the ladder to her success.
In the quiet, late-night glow of Beijing, the evening wind entwined with the city lights.
Pressed against the side of a Maybach, Lu Xingyu’s dark hair and fair skin glowed under the streetlights as Liang Yanzhi’s thin, crimson lips traced hers again and again. With a voice full of tenderness, he whispered:
“Lu Xingyu, I’m begging you—use me, won’t you?”
Her breath trembled.
“…Alright.”
