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 could still feel Julianna's gaze burning into her back as Felix led her away.

Something about that woman bothered her.

Felix was cold to everyone, but with Julianna, it was different. It wasn't just indifference—it was anger.

Lisa glanced up at him. His jaw was tight, and his grip on her hand hadn't loosened.

He didn't look at her. "Forget her."

Felix exhaled sharply, clearly annoyed. "It doesn't matter."

Lisa stopped walking, forcing him to halt too. "It matters if she has the power to affect you like this."

Felix turned to her, his gaze sharp. "I said forget her, Lisa."

Lisa crossed her arms. "You keep saying that, but you're the one who looks like you want to break something."

For a moment, it looked like he might snap at her.

Then, he sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Julianna was my ex-fiancée," he finally admitted.

Lisa's eyes widened. "Ex-fiancée?!"

Felix's expression darkened. "Our families arranged it when I was fifteen. But she didn't want me—she wanted my company. When I refused to let her use Z&K for her own gain, she left."

Lisa processed his words, her heart twisting a little.

She wanted to say something comforting, but before she could, Felix spoke again.

"That's why I don't do 'love,' Lisa." His voice was cold again. "It's just another business transaction to most people."

"Is that how he sees me too? As just another business deal?"

Before she could respond, someone interrupted.

Lisa turned and saw a man approaching them.

Handsome. Sharp-eyed. And… somehow familiar?

Felix sighed. "What do you want, Vincent?"

As in Vincent Zhan—one of the biggest names in the tech industry?

And one of Felix's older brothers.
