Burned by the CEO

Shen Jiawen has always been the model of control and responsibility. As a top analyst in Shanghai’s cutthroat corporate world, she knows the value of ambition—until the night she loses herself in a haze of heartbreak and whiskey. She wakes up in the arms of a man she doesn’t know—one whose cold eyes and commanding presence leave a mark on her soul.



She tells herself it was a mistake. No names, no attachments, no consequences.



Until she walks into a boardroom days later and finds him seated across the table—Lu Zeyan, CEO of Z-Tech, a man whose reputation is as ruthless as it is alluring.



Bound by a billion-dollar project and an undeniable chemistry, Jiawen and Lu Zeyan must navigate a precarious dance of power and desire. As professional boundaries blur and stolen glances turn into scorching nights, Jiawen is torn between her carefully constructed life and the possibility of something deeper, something that threatens to consume her entirely.



But Lu Zeyan is a man who doesn’t understand love—until he meets her.



In a world of deals and deception, can a fleeting night of passion blossom into a love that transcends the boardroom? Or will the shadows of their pasts keep them apart?



A story of emotional healing, steamy encounters, and a slow-burn romance that proves even the coldest hearts can learn to love.
