Introduction
She really can't help herself, can she? Why on earth would she save this man? Look at her now, digging her own grave in a loveless marriage. The worst part of it is, this arrogant tyrant never communicates properly, his only solution to resistance has always been the same - absolute dominance! Her butler attempts to soothe her, "Young lady! I know that being forced to marry the Fourth Master is not your idea of happiness. But remember, the Fourth Master is the richest man in the world..." "His wealth is all prenuptial. It has nothing to do with me." In reality, she wanted to add, 'what good does his money do me? Does he think he can force someone to marry him just because he's rich?' The butler was silenced. Dong Palace Yoah said, "Set a ten-minute limit for the attorneys to transfer half of my shares to her." Tung Pai replied, "That's not what I meant..." Dong Palace Yoah cut her off, yelling, "Shut up! You know exactly what happens when you resist. Or are you eager for it? If so, let's take it upstairs!" Tung Pai and the butler shared a mutual silence.

Chapter

"My left eyelid is twitching, good fortune is on the horizon, either a promotion or wealth is about to come..."

A shrill ringtone suddenly blared.

By the door of the swankiest suite in the top-notch hotel in H City, several pairs of disdainful eyes were cast.

Tong Hua's hand trembled awkwardly as she silenced her phone to pick up the call.

"Tong Hua, your ringtone... could it be any more tacky?" asked a severely intoxicated coworker.

Another co-worker, too drunk to recognize his own mother, sneered, "What did you expect? She is the ultimate gold digger. This ringtone suits her perfectly!"

As the word “suits” was announced, a spray of spittle went flying. Tong Hua's exquisitely delicate face turned green.

Quickly ushering them into the suite, Tong Hua answered the phone as she made her way back to her own room. The slender legs cast long shadows on the carpet as she walked in a crisp, decisive rhythm. Under the warm, yellow glow of the ornate lights, her gait was elegantly carefree.

“Auntie... yes, don’t worry. I’ve arrived at our vacation site, and the scenery is beautiful...” Tong Hua's gentle and magnetic voice was only reserved for her dear aunt. She reassured the person on the other end of the line, “Oh, my co-workers are quite drunk, don't worry about me. I've only had a little to drink... I’ll be resting soon..."

Before she could finish, she was abruptly hauled into a luxury suite next door by a strong arm that quickly covered her mouth.

"Uh---"

In her panic, Tong Hua's first instinct was to end the call. No matter what happened, she couldn’t let her dear aunt worry.

The room was pitch black. Filled with fear, Tong Hua strained her eyes to see in the darkness, her heart pounding as she could barely make out a tall figure in front of her.

What is happening? She found herself pulled into a different room.

Were they after her money? Though she was an employee of a renowned financial conglomerate, she was merely a planning assistant! The reason for her stay at such a posh hotel was due to a company trip, negotiated due to the company’s partnership with the high-end establishment. Usually, they wouldn’t dare dream of such luxurious accommodations!

Robbing her of her beauty? Her colleagues always described her as pretty but classically understated, still a bit far from a breathtaking beauty. However, she always rated her figure quite highly...

"Do not make a sound!"

Tong Hua was lost in her thoughts when the other party suddenly spoke in a low, husky voice. She was caught unawares by the warm, somewhat ambiguous breath against her face. What a voice... Deep and magnetic! It's simply captivating! The male syllables wafted into her nostrils, carrying a sense of domineering potency mixed with an intense smell of blood. It was a heady mix that had her head spinning...

Wait... Blood?

Tong Hua's eyes widened in shock. She looked down and found that the man had a severe wound on his other arm. Fresh blood was dripping onto the ground. Her heart skipped a bit. What on earth had she run into?

She was certain she was dealing with a man, tall and physically imposing. His arm was strong... despite being injured. Dangerous, especially when injured!

The chilling silence only amplified the man's strong and steady heartbeat behind her. No matter whether he was after her wealth or beauty, this man was dangerous! As petite as she was, outsmarting him was her only option for survival.

As Tong Hua's mind raced to figure out a way to escape, sudden footsteps echoed from outside.

"He's around here somewhere. Search every nook and corner!" A suppressed, fierce voice rang through the silence.

A jolt passed through the man's strong body in front of her, and an idea shot into her mind - were these people looking for him?

Damn it! If they stormed in, what would this man do? Kill her to keep her silent? Take her as a hostage?

It would be too easy for him to kill her! She didn't care who was good or bad; she was the ultimate gold digger. All she cared about was surviving!

Once she decided, she nodded frantically at the man. Although he couldn't see her, the hand that was covering her mouth could feel her intentions.

"Do you want to speak?" he asked. His somber, husky voice merged with the darkness, sending chills down one's spine as if it was coming from the depths of hell itself.

A chill ran through her. She nodded again so vigorously she was worried that her neck would break.

He loosened his grip, and Tong Hua, not having a chance to catch her breath, looked pale. Despite this, her eyes were glossy and black as night, radiating a mesmerizing glow. She quickly said, "I can help you stay alive! Don’t kill me!"

"Help?" His voice was a touch disdainful, and he arched an eyebrow, "How?"

"Just trust me!" she blurted out.

"Why should I trust you?" he asked back coldly.

This man… so audacious. Frustrated, Tong Hua was conscious of the seconds ticking by! She glanced at his arm and responded with an even colder voice, "You’re injured! If they catch you, you’ll be dead anyway! Since death is inevitable, why not take a gamble?"

One second…Two seconds…Three seconds…

Just as the knock on the door reverberated, the man's dark and brooding voice echoed at her side, "Woman! If you dare play any tricks, I’ll tear you in half!"

His words were chilling, as if they came straight from the abyss, causing instant fear.

Her heart skipped a beat, as if she had been drenched in icy water from head to toe. What kind of person had she provoked?

As he finished talking, the man released his grasp.

Tong Hua had no time to think. She pushed him inside a wardrobe and locked the door. At first, it wouldn't shut well. After she forced it several times and then added a few kicks, it finally locked.

The knocking at the door was getting more aggressive, and her heart pounded heavily. She didn’t notice the tall man behind her, his face turning green as he glared at her slender and hurried silhouette.

To dare hide him in a closet! And kick him! Woman, your end is near!

She turned on the light with a 'clack', and rushed to open the window. Through the gaps in the carved closet, the man saw her grabbing a fruit knife off the table. With only a moment’s hesitation, she closed her eyes and ‘swoosh’— she punctured her own arm.

Rapidly, fresh blood seeped out, staining her fair arm.

The man's eyes suddenly became frosty, revealing surprise! What on earth was this woman up to? She was ruthless to him! Unblinking even when using a knife, this man was the first time he had witnessed a woman who looked tender yet was wild.

The next moment, Tong Hua had already stumbled to the door and opened it.

Four or five men in black came storming in, their eyes wide open, "Blood? There is blood! He is definitely here!"

A man in black grabbed the collar and hauled her up, said fiercely, "Where is he?"

Tong Hua's beautiful eyes were filled with terror, and her bloody finger tremblingly pointed to the window, "A man broke in, stabbed me with a knife, and escaped through the window..."

With that said, her eyes closed and she fainted, still convulsing all over when she "died" on the ground.

"..."

The man in the wardrobe hooked the corner of his lips! He suddenly realized that she had injured herself to cover up the smell of blood in the room, this woman, what a waste not to be an actress!

Several men in black immediately tossed Tong Hua aside, rushed to the window to check.

"Third floor! He can't die from fall! Quick! Go after him!" As they finished speaking, four or five men in black jumped out of the window without hesitation.

The men in black had no suspicion of Tong Hua! Who would believe that a frail woman would be cruel enough to harm herself? With so much blood lost, it must have been the doing of that man!

By the time the last man in black jumped out of the window, the previously feigning death Tong Hua immediately bounced up, dragged the man out of the wardrobe, sprinted out of the door, through the corridor, and rushed into a guest room.

"This is my room!" Tong Hua was panting heavily, "You... you're safe!"

Silence filled the room for a moment. After taking several deep breaths, Tong Hua finally calmed down. She felt that the man in front of him had no intention of leaving whatsoever, a beam of cold light shone on her wounded arm.

Tong Hua looked up, and was instantly stunned! The room was lit at the moment, and she finally had a clear look at his face! Was this man... too handsome?! A beauty that even the gods would be envious of!

Standing nearly six feet tall, with perfect, smooth lines, this man's physique was so good it makes one tongue-tied. What was even more shocking was his facial features under a head of jet-black hair, perfectly chiseled, and handsomely so close to perfect.

However, at this moment, his hawk-like eyes were chilling, staring deeply at her injured arm.

A trace of inexplicable unease rose in her heart, as the surrounding air gradually thinned, making her breath suddenly rapid.

Who... Who was he?

This man seemed to be a born ruler, exuding a powerful aura around him, as if he would tear her into pieces at any moment, making people feel small and frightened, only thinking of escape.

If he was really a ruler - he must also be a tyrant! As her hands and feet gradually got cold, and her mind blank, she thought.

Suddenly, his tall figure moved towards her, each step bringing a powerful aura and an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"What... what are you doing?" Her eyelashes trembled and her eyes were filled with fear.

Donggong Yao took long strides towards her, abruptly grabbing her arm.

"Ah... it hurts..." she gasped from the pain!

A hint of a smile played at the corner of Donggong Yao's mouth. So, she knew what pain felt like? Where did she get the courage to hurt herself just now?

Ignoring her struggle, Donggong Yao didn't say anything, tended to her wound and applied medicine.

Throughout the process, she cried out like a child, endlessly. At first, Donggong Yao could bear it, but gradually, the frustration was clear. Finally unable to bear it any longer, he roared at her, "Didn't it hurt when you hurt yourself just now? Now it hurts?"

She shrank back under his roar, stammering, "Who says it doesn't hurt? That was to save my life! Haven't you heard that before a person dies, they would explode with a huge survival instinct?"

Donggong Yao's eyes flickered, his movements paused.

This woman, she's too honest, isn't she?

If it were any other woman by his side, they would definitely be teary-eyed and coquettishly murmuring, "Fourth young master, I did all this just to save you..."

Donggong Yao looked up, his gaze fixed on her. This woman was so different from the others around him. Interesting!

Tong Hua felt uncomfortable under his gaze, "What's wrong? Is there something off?"

His dark eyes sparkled, his handsome face slightly relaxed, the corner of his lips lifting into a meaningful smirk, enchanting and seductive, enough to elicit screams from countless women. Yet his presence in front of her only caused unease for Tong Hua.

Donggong Yao smirked devilishly, his voice full of dangerous magnetism and temptation, "Mr. Lin said he wanted to give me a special gift! Very special indeed, I like it!"

Seeing him, leaning casually against the couch, looking down at her. His arm, which bared by rolling up the sleeve, rested on the armrest of the sofa, disregarding the wound on it. Three buttons of his shirt undone, making him dangerously sexy. His deep black eyes gazing at her.

Sweating! There it is again! That tyrant's gaze!

Her body stiffened, her scalp tingled. The overwhelming and dangerous vibe washed over her, Tong Hua felt a quiver in her heart and decided to make a run for it. Only a fool wouldn't flee!

"Since everything's alright now, I'll be leaving!"

Her mind was a complete mess, so much so that she even forgot that this was her room!

She had only taken two steps when an oppressive aura from behind swept over her. A strong arm grabbed her wrist and yanked her back. With a shocked yell, she fell backwards into a broad, warm embrace.

"Who said everything's alright? Business has just begun, and you want to leave?"

The man's breath brushed against her ear, his devilish tone grew even darker, as did his dangerous aura.

"W-what business? Gift? Who's Mr. Lin? Y-you must have gotten it wrong..." Like a lamb that had fallen into a wolf's mouth, Tong Hua was trembling, her white, terrified and wide eyes shimmering unusually in contrast to his dark ones, which narrowed suddenly.

"Do you know?" Donggong Yao spoke in a low voice, "CEO Lin unilaterally gave me a gift, I planned to kick it out, but now, I have changed my mind! A special gift... Not bad!"

As he finished speaking, his wolf-like palm began to slide upward from her waist...

Tong Hua's body stiffened, her beautiful eyes widened, and she gasped in a cold breath! Damn your gift, your entire family is a gift! But she knew that reasoning with this man was a waste of time. She regretted it to death! Why on earth did she save this man just now? She might as well have died together with him!

"Let go of me!"

Tong Hua struggled mightily to push him away, but heard "ripping" sound, a cold sensation at her waist, her chiffon skirt tore under his force. The next moment, his hand grasped her firmly, unfettered...

"Bastard! Let go of me!" Tong Hua's face turned so red that it seemed to drip blood. Donggong Yao lowered his head and saw her, head upturned, staring at him with fiery eyes!

Her black hair was a little dishevelled, her eyes, the same color as her hair, sparkled like obsidian emitting the most dazzling light. A petite nose, vivid eyelashes, her skin surprisingly fair and beautiful. Her face turned red added up to a temptingly delicate scene... Though she was not breathtakingly beautiful, the more he looked the more intrigued he became!

From her cherry colored lips under the flared nostrils, glinting with excitement, his cool and determined lips have sealed hers.

"Mmm..." His cold and skilled tongue quickly pried open her teeth, seizing all the air from her mouth, capturing an unimaginable sweetness that made his inky eyes suddenly brighten with surprise.

Tong Hua was losing her mind! Her mind a complete mess, what on earth is happening?

As she fought desperately, his other hand slid down her waist naturally, reaching the uncharted corner of her body...

Her pupils shrank abruptly, her body tensing up!

No! They can't...

Her delicate body was shaking violently, her trembling hands groping behind her, touched something hard. Without hesitation, she lifted it and smashed it down on Donggong Yao's neck...

With a "thump", Donggong Yao's tall body wobbled, his hawk-like eyes stared at Tong Hua in disbelief. This woman, dare to...! His eyes were blazing with anger, he wanted to grab her, but gradually lost his strength, and fell to the ground in a dark swoon.

Tong Hua, who was thinking of hitting him a second time, was dumbfounded!

He was down after just one hit? She suddenly remembered, this man's arm was injured and must have lost too much blood. He was already weak!

After the immense anger, fear, and tension, the danger was lifted. Tong Hua slumped to the ground, her petite body still violently shaking.

Tong Hua didn't dare to think any more or to look at the tall figure passed out on the ground. Dragging her trembling body, she managed to escape from the room.
