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.

Shang Yu lifted his finger and gently wiped away the rainwater that had splashed onto the corner of her eye from the edge of the umbrella, his voice raspy as he began to speak, "At the mourning hall."

Li Qiao lowered her eyes, her lips curved in a light smile, her gaze landing precisely on the fingers holding the umbrella, and teasingly whispered, "I see, I thought you hadn't seen me."


"Tired?" At this moment, Shang Yu rubbed her hair, looking at Li Qiao's trembling eyelashes and weary cheeks, a thought crossed his mind, and his palm smoothly slid to the back of her neck, squeezing gently a couple of times.


Li Qiao stiffened at his action, the warm, dry palm massaging the back of her neck, concentrating all her senses in one place, and a strong throb began spreading from her heart throughout her body.
