The engagement of the most adored daughter of the Li Family was broken off. Her furious family members railed against the heartless man and vowed to make him pay the price. * Later on, Li Qiao met her ex-fiancé’s big brother by chance. Some said he was the most mysterious man in Nanyang and his name was Shang Yu, aka Shang Shaoyan. While some others called him the overbearing and obsessive underground Overlord of Nanyang from whom everyone should stay away. Standing in the misty rain, Li Qiao gazed at the ruthless and untamed man with a shallow smile, said, “Hello, I’m Li Qiao.” She would become her ex-fiancé’s sister-in-law, if not wife. * Li Qiao and her ex-fiancé met again on the street several months later when he sneered at her, “Are you following me? Haven’t you given up hope yet?” A harsh voice berated him from behind, “Show some respect to your sister-in-law!” From now on, only one rumor was circulating in Nanyang City – The merciless Overlord of Nanyang had one woman he uncritically doted on. Her name was Li Qiao.

The Favored Heiress

Li Qiao's heart was stung, and a hint of imperceptible shock tinted her eyes.


At that moment, Shang Yu slightly squinted his eyes. Clad in black, his proud stature leaned slightly forward, like an alluring siren's call, he raised his lips and asked, "Tell me, do you want to?"


Li Qiao raised her eyebrows, trying her best to ignore the palpitations that his handsome face brought, and answered truthfully, "Of course, I do. Can Master Yan help me?"


Shang Yu's deep gaze fell on her slender shoulders, and his thin lips lifted slightly, "Then I'll grant your wish."


Upon hearing this, the questions Li Qiao wanted to ask were suddenly interrupted by footsteps from behind.


Li Cheng, her third brother, had unknowingly hurried to her side.


The two men had similar temperaments and were of similar height. Li Cheng placed a hand on Li Qiao's shoulder, his stance full of protective desire as he shielded her at his side.
