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 in the passenger seat of Felix's luxury car, the city lights of Beijing flashing past them.

Felix's grip on the steering wheel was tight, his jaw clenched.

Lisa, still replaying Vincent's words in her head, finally spoke.

"So…" she hesitated. "What did he mean?"

His fingers tightened around the wheel. "Vincent likes to play mind games. Ignore him."

Lisa frowned. "That's not an answer."

Felix exhaled sharply, like he was trying to hold back frustration.

Then, without looking at her, he said, "Lisa, don't expect anything from me."

Felix's knuckles turned white against the wheel.

"I told you before—I don't do love, emotions, or attachments," he said coldly. "This—" he gestured between them. "—is just business."

She should've expected this. She knew this.

But why did it feel like a punch to the chest?

"Right," she forced a laugh. "Of course. That's what we agreed on."

When Felix pulled up to Lisa's apartment, she didn't wait for him to open the door.

She stepped out quickly, forcing a smile.

"Thanks for the ride, Boss," she said, her tone too casual.

Felix stared at her from the driver's seat, his face unreadable.

She turned back, expecting him to say something.

But Felix just stared at her for a long moment—like he was debating something.

Then, his expression turned blank again. "Never mind."

"Why does he do this? Why does he pull me close just to push me away?"

Without another word, she turned and walked inside, slamming the door behind her.
