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 next evening, Lisa stood in front of her mirror, staring at her reflection.

The black designer dress Felix chose hugged her figure perfectly, its silver embroidery shimmering under the soft lighting.

Her makeup was subtle yet elegant. Her hair cascaded down in soft waves.

Not like a regular girl from Nigeria who came to Beijing for her dreams.

But like someone who belonged in Felix's world.

The thought made her chest tighten.

"It's just one night. Don't overthink it."

A sharp knock at her door pulled her from her thoughts.

She took a deep breath and opened it.

Felix stood in a perfectly tailored black suit, his usual cold expression in place.

But the way his eyes briefly flickered over her—just for a second—made Lisa's heart skip.

Lisa rolled her eyes. "You're early."

Felix smirked slightly but didn't argue. "Let's go."

The sleek black car moved smoothly through Beijing's bustling streets, but inside, the atmosphere was strangely tense.

Lisa stole a glance at Felix. He was staring straight ahead, his jaw tight.

"You don't like these events, do you?" she asked.

Felix didn't answer immediately. Then, he sighed. "They're necessary."

Lisa tilted her head. "Why? You're already successful."

Felix's fingers tapped lightly against his knee. "Because power isn't just about money. It's about connections. If I want to keep this company stable, I have to play their games."

Lisa frowned. "That sounds exhausting."

Felix's lips twitched. "You get used to it."

For the first time, he didn't sound cold.

And for some reason, that made Lisa's chest ache.

"You don't have to do this alone, you know," she said softly.

Felix finally turned to look at her.

For a brief moment, something shifted between them.

But before she could figure it out, the car pulled up to the grand event hall.

Felix's expression hardened again.

"Time to act," he said, stepping out first.

Lisa swallowed, then took his hand as he offered it.

But why did it suddenly feel like something else was starting too?
