Everyone in Mercy Town knows Miao Rui is the most beautiful girl they've ever seen. What they also know — and never let her forget — is that her mother is the town prostitute. At eighteen, Miao Rui wears politeness like armor. She smiles at the gossiping neighbors. She helps her drunk mother up the stairs. She tells herself that one day, she'll escape this rotten town for good. But underneath the porcelain surface is a girl forged in darkness — calculating, vengeful, and desperate for justice. When she sets a trap for a predator, intending to send him to prison, her plan goes horrifyingly wrong. She's saved at the last second by Xie Heng — the infamous heir to the town's wealthiest family. He's twenty, ruthless, and the whole town knows he got a girl pregnant at sixteen. He calls her reckless. He calls her an idiot. Then he gives her the shirt off his back and walks her home in the dark. That night, she looks him in the eye and says: "You can't love me." Because Miao Rui has spent her entire life hiding the dark, twisted parts of herself — and Xie Heng is the only person who's ever seen them clearly. She can't allow that. She won't. What she doesn't know is that Xie Heng made his choice the moment he swung that pipe. And over the next eight years, he will prove it with actions, not words. He will go to prison for three years — for a crime he didn't commit — to protect her. He will build an empire from nothing after walking out of those prison gates. He will stand between her and his own father, who sees nothing but a prostitute's daughter. And through every betrayal — her best friend's poisonous envy, her mother's abandonment, the world's relentless cruelty — Xie Heng will be the one constant she can't push away, no matter how hard she tries. It takes Miao Rui eight years to understand the truth that Xie Heng knew in a single night: he didn't love her despite her darkness. He loved her because of it. --- Domineering CEO: His Obsessive Love is a sweeping saga of survival, sacrifice, and a love so stubborn it outlasts prison walls, family war, and the weight of a past neither of them can escape. It asks one question — and spends eight years answering it: If someone saw every broken, ugly piece of you and chose to stay anyway... would you finally believe you were worthy of love?
