[18+] A villainous and romantic story about revenge and loathing, of love and intense desire between rivals: Shi Yen is a hard-hearted, wicked, and intelligent heiress of a Business Empire, who had an exceptional and promising future. That was until her parents died with the company on the brink of collapse, and until their rivals—Yuan Bank—took everything from them. 

Beneath the depths of despair, Shi Yen discovers her father's secret as the faceless and nameless Emperor of the Underworld, running elite criminal organizations across the black society. Shi Yen then succeeds in his role as the Empress, spending years re-establishing herself to take Shi Group back from her enemies' hands. However, a near-fatal confrontation caused Shi Yen to withdraw her role as the Empress, gearing her back to live a normal life. 

She then meets Yuan Shun, the man she loathed and wanted to be. The hatred is mutual. Yet, despite their rivalry, tension rises every time Shi Yen and Yuan Shun meet. They cannot deny their mutual admiration for each other, their complicated feelings, blooming chemistry, and burning desire. Between banters, competitive games, and encounters, would they ever stop to wonder if their hate blossomed into love? Especially when Yuan Shun may not be as cruel and wicked as Shi Yen initially thought him to be. Would they be able to be together when her dark past follows everywhere they go?

He then attempts to make her fall for him, knowing it would make him win their self-proclaimed long battle. But he wondered why she did not escape his wildest reveries? What made him so drawn to her? What could he do if she was his greatest rival?

However, despite their hatred, how long can Shi Yen and Yuan Shun deny their undeniable attraction towards each other after a series of coincidental events?

Something Beautiful and Wicked

"What are we doing here?" Shi Ailin questioned as they stepped out of the car.

Luo Wanting, dressed in a crisp black suit with a black shirt, propped with a crimson tie, stepped to her side, locking arms with her, and he kept quiet.

Shi Ailin managed to do what she could with her appearance by tousling her curls with some mousse, applying some lipgloss, and using a sample-sized tube of mascara from her essential pack.

They wordlessly walked inside the almost deserted restaurant, and Shi Ailin noticed that some guests were eating alone by a few tables as if they were keeping a distance from each other. She suddenly felt overdressed, but none of the customers snapped their heads towards their direction, as if they didn't mind or didn't care at all.

Luo Wanting guided her to the bar, and there was a bartender who wiped down some glasses dry with a rag.

"What will it be?" The man said to them, his eyes not meeting theirs.
