Lisa, an 18-year-old dreamer, finally arrives in Beijing, the city she has always longed to see. With passion and determination, she lands a job at Z&K, one of the most successful tech companies in China, specializing in animation, game development, and electronics. But what she doesn't expect is her cold and distant CEO—Felix.

Felix, at just 19, carries the weight of an entire family on his shoulders. He supports 30 people, including his parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, without receiving so much as a thank you. Hardened by years of responsibility, he trusts no one and allows no emotions to show.

But when Lisa enters his life, everything changes. Her kindness, warmth, and unshakable spirit begin to melt his icy heart. As romance blooms in the workplace, jealous rivals, betrayals, and family drama threaten to pull them apart. Hana, Lisa’s so-called friend, secretly desires Felix. Victor Wu, a powerful rival, sees Felix as an obstacle. And when Lisa’s cousin, Linda, arrives with dangerous intentions, their love is put to the ultimate test.

Can Lisa break down the walls around Felix’s heart? Will Felix fight to protect the only person who has ever truly cared for him? Or will the enemies lurking in the shadows tear them apart forever?

A story of love, power, and survival in the heart of Beijing—Love in Beijing will take you on an unforgettable journey of romance, heartbreak, and triumph.

Forzen heart, burning love

Lisa sat at her desk, staring at the blank screen in front of her.

That's all she had to redesign the AI system for the AR game.

Mei leaned over from her desk. "Hey, you okay?"

Lisa forced a smile. "Just… thinking."

Mei smirked. "Thinking or panicking?"

Mei chuckled. "You'll be fine. Just—"

Lisa jumped as a loud noise echoed through the office.

Across the room, Leo Zhang stood by a desk, arms crossed, eyes locked onto her. A stack of files had mysteriously fallen onto the floor.

Lisa narrowed her eyes. That wasn't an accident.

But if Felix's harshness had taught her anything, it was that she had to be stronger than her enemies.

Lisa stood up, walked over to Leo, and picked up the files.

She handed them back to him, smiling. "Here. Be careful next time."

Leo's smirk faltered for a second.

Then he chuckled. "You're bold, I'll give you that."

Lisa tilted her head. "And you're insecure, I'll give you that."

Lisa turned on her heel and walked back to her desk, feeling eyes on her.

Mei whispered, "That was legendary."

Lisa smiled. "He'll get bored if I don't react."

Mei grinned. "Or he'll get angrier."

Lisa sighed. "Either way, I don't care. I have a game to fix."

By lunchtime, Lisa was deep into coding.

She barely noticed when someone stopped by her desk.

"Your AI pathfinding logic is wrong."

He was holding a coffee cup, looking at her screen like it was his project.

Felix pointed at the script. "The NPCs will glitch if they interact too close to the environment."

Lisa stared at the code. He was… right.

Felix sipped his coffee. "Fix it."

Lisa narrowed her eyes. "You're… helping me?"

Felix smirked. "No. I'm making sure you don't embarrass my company."

Felix took another sip of coffee. "Hurry up."

Felix turned to leave, but then—

Then, in a softer voice, he said, "Don't let them get to you."

Before she could react, Felix was already walking away.

Mei leaned over. "Was that… encouragement?"

Lisa shook her head. "I don't even know."

And whether that was good or bad, she still wasn't sure.
