"I want you to be mine." "What?" "I'll take that as a yes." " . . . ? " - - - During her younger days, Bai Ruoxi was regarded as the spoiled young miss of the Bai Family. Despite having the looks and brain that put prodigies to shame, she was mischievous and had taken everything she owned for granted. Bai Ruoxi only learned what hopelessness meant when she lost her one and only childhood sweetheart to an accident. And with him, gone was her playful self. Over the years, she had shut herself from the elite society and stayed low profile until the day she took over her family's company. She led her subordinates with an iron fist, determined to pave her path until the day Bai Ruoxi and her Bai Family could finally stand on top of the food chain. But one day, out of the blue, a man suddenly asked her to be his. Strangely, she felt safe in his unfamiliar yet comfortable presence. Should she say yes? - - - Jun Yi Han was the heir to House of The Azure Dragon, one of the four well-known clans that had ruled over underworld for centuries. At the age of 25, he was already known for his ruthlessness and the capability to rule the clan. People referred to him as a King. It was a great shock to everyone. Nobody had expected that the Dragon's heir who was rumored to be sickly due to young age poisoning could become the person he currently was. An even baffling rumor was that his heart had stopped and confirmed to be dead, yet the next day he was walking down the clan's hall healthy and all, his sickly pallor gone. Jun Yi Han also never took no for an answer. When he showed up in front of the woman he'd had his eyes on for years, he was determined to make her his. - - - The man adorned with godly features had a tender gaze in his eyes as he stared at the woman before him. "What if I tell you... Gu Yin's death wasn't an accident, but a murder?" "Why should I believe you?" "I'm your husband!" "Nonsense!" She scoffed. "I spoke no lies, my dear." The sides of his lips perked up, forming a sensual smirk. "I merely wish for your happiness." "Gu Yin was my happiness." "Was." He emphasized. She stared into his eyes, trying to find the lies hidden between them. But she found none. She sighed, "What exactly do you want?" "You, I want you." His cold eyes shone brightly. "And in return, I will offer you a taste of revenge."
