Lin Zhiwei, whose beauty surpassed even the snow, was inexplicably chosen six years ago to be the successor to a formidable leader.

Her survival instinct prompted her to scramble upright in a heartbeat. “Brother, can’t you let me off just this once...?”
His black eyes were deep and unfathomable. Dressed in black athletic wear, his sculpted features exuded an authority that brooked no dissent; his lips were pressed tight, a sharp aura radiating from him—a clear sign he was about to explode.<
