Synopsis
[edit]Orphaned as a child, Tong Xue lives under the care of her maternal uncle. While she is working at a cafe, she catches the attention of Mo Shaoqian, chairman of Yunzhong Corporation. Little does she know that her father once betrayed Yunzhong Corporation and indirectly caused the death of Mo Shaoqian's father. The company was plunged into a serious crisis and Shaoqian was forced to enter into a political marriage with Mu Yongfei, heiress to Mu Corporation in order to save his company. On their wedding night, Shaoqian was repulsed by Yongfei's possessive and condescending behaviour and refused to live with her. He continuously seeks to divorce Yongfei for the next ten years, but she resolutely refuses despite both living separately and in a loveless marriage. As Shaoqian discovers Tong Xue's identity, he uses criminal evidence against Tong Xue's uncle to blackmail her into living with him as his mistress. As Shaoqian gets to know Tong Xue, he begins to harbor conflicted feelings for her. On the surface, he treats Tong Xue coldly and toys with her emotions. Secretly, Shaoqian cannot help himself falling for Tong Xue and wanting to protect her. However, Tong Xue is not able to let go of her childhood sweetheart. She also fears Shaoqian, wishing and planning for the day when she escapes from his claws. However the moment he finally releases her, it is too late for her to run.
