In the heart of Country K stood the tallest and most magnificent skyscraper in the city—the headquarters of White Phoenix Empire, a business empire built by the powerful Chinese-American magnate, Alexander Bai.
At his side was his wife, the renowned and elegant French designer, Agathe Crevier Bai. Together, they had two children: their eldest and only daughter, Lilliana Theodora Bai, and their youngest and only son, Gabriel Thomas Bai.
Among them, Lilliana—known to the world as Lillie Bai—was the undisputed heir to White Phoenix Empire. By the age of 16, she had already proven herself a prodigy in business, earning the reputation of a genius among geniuses, an unstoppable force. Some even whispered that she was a monster—one born to dominate the corporate world.
At just 18, she assumed the position of CEO, and under her reign, White Phoenix Empire became an untouchable fortress. Employees trembled at the mere mention of her name. Mistakes were met with swift consequences, and countless were dismissed for failing to meet her sky-high expectations. Out of fear—or perhaps admiration—they worked even harder, striving to impress the woman known as the heartless she-devil.
Now, at 26, White Phoenix Empire was stronger than ever—a true masterpiece molded by Lillie Bai's hands. Her name was etched into the minds of the elite, a legend in the world of business.
But Lillie Bai was not the only devil in this world.
Across the city, another breathtaking skyscraper loomed, its golden letters gleaming under the sun—Hong Long Corporation. Known as HL Corp, it dominated the entertainment industry, producing world-famous celebrities and revolutionizing media.
If White Phoenix Empire had a weakness, it was entertainment—a field Lillie Bai found utterly uninteresting. But she despised losing. And unfortunately for her, HL Corp had a ruler just as ruthless, just as brilliant, and just as unwilling to back down.
His name was Ethan Li.
To the world, they were devils cut from the same mold.
To their parents, they were children who refused to lose.
To Lillie Bai, Ethan Li was an obstacle—her rival, her enemy.
But to Ethan Li, Lillie Bai was his wife.
