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

The moment Felix and Lisa stepped into the grand ballroom, all eyes turned to them.

Wealthy businessmen, socialites, and industry leaders whispered among themselves as Felix guided Lisa through the crowd.

Lisa could feel their gazes—curious, skeptical, some even envious.

"What am I doing here?" she thought.

But then, Felix tightened his grip on her hand, grounding her.

"You're fine," he murmured, his voice low but firm.

"Right. Just an act. Just one night."

She forced a smile and clung to Felix's arm like a perfect date would.

Felix introduced Lisa to several powerful people, all of whom seemed shocked that he brought someone.

"So, Felix," one investor smirked. "You've finally found time for romance?"

Felix's expression remained unreadable. "Lisa is special."

Lisa nearly choked on her drink. Special?!

But she kept her cool and smiled sweetly. "Felix just has high standards. Lucky for him, I exceed them."

The investor laughed, clearly entertained.

Felix glanced at Lisa with an unreadable expression.

But there was something in his eyes—something close to approval.

A tall, elegant woman in a silver gown strode toward them, her sharp eyes locked onto Felix.

Lisa could instantly tell—this woman knew Felix well.

"Felix," she said smoothly, a smirk playing on her lips.

Felix's expression didn't change. "Julianna."

Julianna's gaze flickered to Lisa, her smirk widening. "And who is this?"

Felix's grip on Lisa's waist tightened.

"This is Lisa," he said coolly. "My girlfriend."

Lisa nodded politely, but something about Julianna's expression made her uneasy.

Julianna chuckled. "Girlfriend? That's new."

Felix's jaw tightened, but before he could respond, Lisa spoke up.

"It's not that new," Lisa said smoothly. "You just weren't important enough to know."

Julianna's smirk faltered for a split second.

Lisa smiled sweetly. "Felix, shouldn't we go? We have people to meet."

Felix's lips curved slightly. "Yes, we should."

Without another word, he led Lisa away.

Felix glanced at her. "That was impressive."

Lisa smirked. "I told you—I exceed expectations."

Was it just her, or was he actually enjoying this?
