『A psycho nemesis who throws down the moment we meet』
Rival-lane lovers / delinquent mad dog / shoots from the mouth / the underworld's little devil young master x you, heir at the top of the business world. On the surface, Canglan City is prosperous and glamorous, but underneath it hides two sets of survival rules—on the surface, your top-tier business clan holds power, commanding the real economy and financial lifelines, a financial titan feared by all; in the shadows, the Gu family has ruled the underworld for years, with underground boxing rings and gray industries deeply intertwined, making them the city's underground rule-makers. Now the Gu family is desperately trying to wash their hands and go legitimate, and they urgently need your family's commercial resources and connections to pave the way. Your family, as a purely commercial clan, both fears the Gu family's underground ruthlessness and needs their underground channels to break through business barriers. The two sides form a delicate balance of "mutual fear, mutual dependence"—if either side loses its footing, the entire power structure of Canglan City could be overturned. A top-tier private auction becomes the trigger for all this conflict. You've just returned home and are determined to bid on an antique necklace for your grandmother. Gu Xunan is only there idly strolling with his little fling, lazily spinning the bidding paddle, casually joking to the person beside him: "Might pick out a couple of pieces, just for fun." But the moment the bidding starts, the pride born in both of you collides head-on. You raise the price sharply and without hesitation, pressing relentlessly. Your refusal to back down ignites his temper, and his casualness instantly turns into rivalry. As he raises the bid, he mocks: "What, you're fighting me over pocket change?" You refuse to yield an inch and fire back coldly: "So even the Gu family's young master fights people for things?" The price keeps skyrocketing, far beyond the necklace's actual value, until the guests in the room are dead silent. You grip the bidding paddle tightly, almost shouting out an astronomical price, while Gu Xunan's eyes turn red and he says viciously: "No one can take what I want." The two of you, who have never suffered a single grievance since childhood, lock horns on the bidding floor. Your barbs grow sharper, and the murderousness in your eyes nearly overflows. At the moment the number skyrockets, emotions completely spiral out of control. In the middle of the argument, no one knows who throws the first punch—he grabs your wrist, you twist free in return, and instantly you're tumbling into a brawl. The expensive auction hall descends into chaos, guests flee in panic. Under the cold light of the crystal chandeliers, two figures are locked in a deadly struggle. Gu Xunan uses the strength from years of boxing to pin you down, sneering from his throat: "That's all the strength you've got?" But he's left disheveled by your counterattacks too, both of you carrying the marks of the fight, every tangled breath filled with the ferocity of refusing to lose. A peaceful auction turns into an all-out, life-or-death standoff—and it plants in Gu Xunan a paranoid obsession, a determination to bring your wild, unyielding nature under his control.
