 The Big Shot Makes His Entrance


"Zhiyan, how long are you planning to stay in the country this time?" 

Qin Yulin tilted his head slightly, peach-blossom eyes glinting as he glanced at the man beside him.


Qin Zhiyan sat rigidly in the back seat of the car, his gaze fixed on the laptop screen balanced on his knees. 

The reflection of scrolling English project documents flickered across the gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.


Sharp brows, a straight nose, thin lips, and a razor-edged jawline—

every angle of his profile was carved with icy precision, exuding an aura of untouchable aloofness.


Finishing his review in seconds, he snapped the laptop shut and handed it to his assistant in the front seat. 


"Cong Qiao, the proposal is approved. Proceed as planned."


"Understood, President Qin."


Only then did Zhiyan remove his glasses, 

turning to Yulin with eyes so deep and unreadable they seemed impervious to even the most captivating allure.


"The hardest part of the overseas expansion is done. If they still need me there, I might as well fire the entire team."


Yulin chuckled, clapping lightly. 

"Spoken like a true CEO. So, does this mean you’re back for good?"


Zhiyan gave a slight nod. 

"Grandfather isn’t getting any younger. I’d prefer to stay."


"You’re worried about him? With Madame’s health declining, he’s barely home—too busy doting on her."


"We don’t comment on elders’ affairs." 

Zhiyan’s tone frosted over.


"Right, forgot you were raised by him. Well, at least we’ll finally get to drink together again! It’s been years."


Zhiyan frowned. 

"Don’t drag me into your debauchery."


"Relax, I know my limits. Speaking of which… now that you’re back, shouldn’t you think about settling down? You’re 28—Grandfather’s mentioned it at least a dozen times."


"You’re 27. Why don’t you go first?" 

Zhiyan countered drily.


"If I got married, half the young masters in the capital would weep! Seriously though, you’ve been single since birth. What’s your type? Or are you really planning to die a monk?"


Zhiyan’s gaze sharpened. 

"Keep talking, and I’ll arrange a marriage for you myself. Let her shut you up."


"Noooo—spare me, CEO Qin! Fine, I’ll change the subject." 

Yulin’s eyes sparkled with mischief. 

"Guess who’s here tonight? Tang Keyi. Oh, the look on his face when he sees you…"


"Tang Keyi? Who?" 

Zhiyan didn’t even glance up.


"You forgot? The so-called ‘Number One Wastrel of the Capital’? The Tang family’s youngest heir who swore he’d marry you or stay single forever?"


A faint crease appeared between Zhiyan’s brows as he dredged up the memory from some neglected corner of his mind.


"Children’s nonsense. You actually take it seriously?"


"A ‘child’ three years your junior?" 

Yulin shot a pointed look at Zhiyan’s eternally stern face and gave up.


"President Qin, we’ve arrived," 

Cong Qiao interjected smoothly.


"Zhiyan! For you to come straight after returning last night—we’re honored. The old master was thrilled to hear you’d attend." 

The Han family head greeted him at the entrance, ushering him inside with effusive warmth.


Among the five great families of the capital

—Qin, Tang, Han, Li, and Chu—

the Qins had always led in wealth and influence. 

Under Zhiyan’s leadership, their empire had doubled, leaving the others in the dust.


Though young, his ruthless business tactics were legendary. 

Those who crossed him never recovered. 

No one dared underestimate him now.


"You flatter me. Paying respects to Elder Han on his 90th is only proper." 

Zhiyan’s tone was polite, but his expression remained indifferent, devoid of social niceties.


Unfazed, the Han patriarch smiled. 

"Let me take you upstairs to see him first. The banquet will begin shortly."


"Mn." 

Zhiyan followed, his entourage trailing behind.


"Keyi! I saw him! Qin Zhiyan’s here—my dad took him to see Grandpa first!" 

Han Qiuqiu rushed over, breathless.


"Qiuqiu, I’m freaking out!" 

Tang Keyi, despite the air conditioning, was sweating bullets. 

"You know his reputation! Companies that oppose him get obliterated. What if he punches me for all my big talk?!"


"You weren’t scared when you declared you’d marry him! Where’s your spine? Today’s my grandpa’s birthday—even he wouldn’t dare make a scene. The Tangs aren’t pushovers!"


"That was a drunken mistake! I didn’t think it’d go viral!"


"Keyi, you’ve used him as a shield for years. Worth taking a punch, no?"


Keyi straightened. 

"No! Touch my face and I’ll end someone! Every inch of me is priceless—especially my hair! I’m leaving!"


"And lose face? You’re here representing the Tangs! If you bail now, everyone’ll say you chickened out when your ‘crush’ finally showed up. This is the ‘Little Tyrant of the Capital’?"


Keyi’s jaw set. 

"...Fine. I’ll stay. But if he swings at me, I’m calling the cops!"


Qiuqiu gave a thumbs-up. 

"Truly… peerless."


"Zhiyan, I’ll leave you to it. You just got back—half the room’s waiting to schmooze you. I’ll wander." 

Yulin clapped his shoulder.


[Don’t see me, don’t see me…]


Zhiyan stiffened. 

"Yulin. Did you hear that?"


"Hear what?"


The voice vanished. 

"...Nothing. Must’ve imagined it."


As predicted, a crowd descended. 

But soon, guests noticed Zhiyan’s distraction…


"Apologies. Jet lag." 

The excuse sent them scattering.


"Sir, are you unwell?" 

Cong Qiao murmured.


"Do you hear… voices?" Z

hiyan pressed his temples. 

"Like someone whispering, ‘Don’t see me’?"


Cong Qiao paled. 

"President Qin… are you… haunted?"

Chapter 1 The big fierce A turns into a vicious soft O

By -
"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief.  He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance.  His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise.  Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

Chapter 2 I am not an Omega, I want to commit suicide!

By -
“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.”  Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver.  The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo.  His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

Chapter 51 Attending the Celebration Banquet in Style

By -
"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now"   Qin Mu yun advised.  "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed.  Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality.  With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation.   "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Chapter 3 Come on, just let him kiss you.

By -
Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream.  In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly.  He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain.  Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met.  Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Chapter 5 What do you call a person who can’t smell?

By -
Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...
