She conspires and provokes the most powerful young master in Beijing! They sign a contract and with his every call, she has to go anywhere and do anything his bidding. When their contract ends, she smirks and said, “I’ll take the money and you can leave. We don’t owe each other anything.”
He is Young Master Ya who rules Beijing. He controls the business empire during the day, and he is the strongest king at night. He is cold and women are merely playthings to him. With his power, the women he has eyes on have never been willing to leave him, yet she is an exception. She loves money, like all the previous women, but she is never shy of showing her greed. And he never realizes that he will ever grow a heart for such a promiscuous and cheap woman…
He points a gun straight at her heart. “Die with me, or accept my love—which one do you choose?” She pouts and turns around, before she pushes an adorable child into his arms. “Here, there’s your answer.”
A modern romance loosely based on a fairy tale? By the only author who consistently gets my coins on here? Color me intrigued. The male lead is rather misogynistic this early on, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the character development from this author in the past. The only real problem is that I get the song stuck in my head when I think of the title. Now it's always once upon a time, in New York City It's a big old, bad old, tough old town, it's true But beginnings are contagious there They're always setting stages there They're always turning pages there for you … Keep your dream alive Dreaming is still how the strong survive Once upon a time in New York City Keep your dream alive Dreaming is still how the strong survive Once upon a time in New York City Keep your dream alive Dreaming is still how the strong survive Once upon a time in New York City And it's always once upon a time, in New York City And now you’ll have it stuck in your head too. My mission is complete.
