Manxi

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

On the other side, Li Qiao returned to the banquet hall where Duan Yuanhui from the Academic Affairs Office and the department head were standing onstage, delivering a speech before the start of the banquet.


Dressed casually tonight, Duan Yuanhui wore a blue shirt paired with black trousers, the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, exuding a steadiness that only age and experience could bring as he had just entered his forties.


Midway through his speech with microphone in hand, he caught sight of Li Qiao and nodded in apparent approval.


With a nonchalant smile, Li Qiao casually pocketed her hands in her punk-style jacket and dragged a chair from the corner of the banquet hall to sit by the wall near the entrance.


The male students seated at the back of the banquet exchanged glances, falling into contemplation.


Should they too drag chairs over to sit beside Li Qiao?


After all, tonight... the opportunity was rare.
