She became a surrogate mother in exchange for over a million yuan. As the esteemed CEO of the most powerful Empire in the capital, he holds absolute power, while she is just an adopted daughter to a family of lowly status. She agreed to bear him his offspring, simply because her adoptive father's business was failing. On the day of her delivery, the elder brother was born healthy, but the younger one was stillborn. Having fulfilled the contract, she disappeared from his sight along with the astronomical sum of money. Six years later, he is still that arrogant and high-profile CEO. When she accidentally gets embroiled with him again – like a canary trapped in his cage, he closes in on her. “Woman, do you think you can escape from my clutches?!" However, he does not expect a little kid to interfere; the boy pompously points his little finger at him and warns, “Mu Yazhe, you’d better leave her alone!

He was the powerful and influencing heir of B City, the merciless head of the commercial world, but the divorce papers made him lose his cool. “Sign the divorce papers, daddy,” said the 5-year-old boy. This man had the divorce papers thrown in his face by his wife six years ago, and was now being pushed by his own son to sign the papers. “That would make you a single-parent child,” said Gu Juexi coldly. “Mommy said unicorns don’t exist but men like you do,” the boy leered at his father and said. Gu Juexi’s face fell. ‘That damned woman.’ “You haven’t signed the papers,” the boy reminded as the man left. As usual, the door shut in his face. Good lord… Dad and mom are not getting a divorce and are giving him a baby brother? How worrying!

Four years. That’s how long he took to transform from being a penniless young man to becoming the heir of a mysterious conglomerate. His return was a glorious event! Four years. That was the time she took to fall from being a rich heiress to an insignificant script writer in the entertainment industry. And she could even end up in jail! “Evelyn Sherman, if only you had loved me a little more than money then, you wouldn’t have to beg me now.” The man jeers coldly. Evelyn Sherman smiles cunningly. She pushes a little bun into his arms. The little bun hugs him and even gives him a big kiss, “President, do you want to buy my mommy? She can pretend to be a teenager or act like a queen. She can do both young, refreshing roles and the hard core stuff equally well. She’s a professional genius at giving birth. You can bring her home for US$10 million!” Chester Yale stares at the little face that looks exactly like his in a shock. He clenches his teeth and said, “Deal! I will add on another $10 million to buy you too!” In the next second, a little princess pokes her head out from behind the door, “Daddy, you’ll need another $10 million for me.”

"After Gu Xin recovered from her illness, she realized that her whole family had changed. His father who was a gambling addict that once almost sold his wife and daughter, also often picked fights after getting drunk. That same father now said that he would not gamble anymore. He wanted to pick up his textbooks and take part in the imperial examinations to give the three of them a happy life. Her mother who was not just efficient, but also detailed and thorough in her work, spent her days holed up in the house, not daring to try anything adventurous. She did not even dare to light a fire and was only fierce to her daughter. That same mother was now suddenly carrying a chopper and facing off debt collectors.

Mother Gu, "Get lost, you rascal. I'm a strong woman who owns a big business empire. It's not easy for me to have a daughter. Can I bear to do that?" Sister Gu, "Scumbag male protagonist, don't think that I don't know how much of a scumbag you are in your book and how you will hurt my Xiao Xinxin. Pfft!" Young Master Zhou, "How is it different from my previous life? However, no matter how different it is, I won't miss my Xinxin in this life." Gu Xin, "Have you asked for my opinion?"

He's the dream guy of women world wide, the CEO of a formidable mega-corporation. But, he's absolutely powerless against her, resorting to all kinds of methods to force her into a marriage, tying her to his side with a certficiate. "Remember, from now on, you're not allowed to enter unclean entertainment venues, not allowed to accept drinks from other men, not allowed to have physical contact with men other than me.
