The male protagonist of this book is Zhao Jiadi, with the nickname Baliang. He is extremely intelligent and brilliant. Like a hidden treasure, he remains low - key despite his great talent and wealth. He acts in a low - key and sophisticated manner. However, when the women he loves are in danger, he will be desperate to protect them, revealing his passionate side. Although he isn't perfect, he is genuine. Zhao Jiadi is the heir of Jinhai Industrial. He is a top - tier rich second - generation, yet few people truly know his identity. His mother immigrated to Canada and has been separated from his father, Zhao Xin, for many years without getting a divorce. Since childhood, he has been sent by Zhao Xin to a boarding school to live and study independently. He is a learning prodigy, a physics and chemistry genius, a Go master, and proficient in Russian and German. However, he has no knowledge of English. Because Huang Fangfei, Zhao Xin's concubine, is an English teacher, he resists English. He even submitted a blank paper for the English test in the college entrance examination. Even so, relying on his strengths in other subjects, he was admitted to a second - tier university in Shanghai from Hebei Province, and he achieved a full score in the math test of the college entrance examination, which is astonishing. He values friendship and loyalty. He treats his friends and subordinates like Han Daode equally, without any airs. He has high achievements in finance. When Jinhai Industrial is in crisis and Zhao Xin is imprisoned, he remains calm and composed. He neither complains nor resigns himself to fate but goes all out to overcome difficulties. After successfully rescuing Cai Yanzhi, who was kidnapped, he truly starts to shine, demonstrating extraordinary abilities. From then on, he forges ahead unstoppably, writing his own legend.

Combien de sœurs aînées ai-je ?" "Pourquoi tu ne devines pas ?" "Deux ? Peut-être trois ? Il n'y a aucun moyen que j'aie sept ou huit sœurs aînées, n'est-ce pas ?" La dame secoua son doigt et sourit. "En me comptant, tu as 108 sœurs aînées." Les yeux de Yu Tian s'écarquillèrent."

My enemy had seen me naked. He was holding the proof right before my eyes, and my stomach lurched sickeningly. "Seems like you had too much to drink last night," he remarked in that condescending tone he always used with me. I looked up at him as he stood watching me from the doorway with his attitude of superiority. In that moment of weakness, I actually tried to plead with him. "Please. I've never done anything to you." "Begging me on your knees. That's a good start." Dread turned my clammy skin cold. Mason Sumner hated my guts, and he would have no compassion for me. This was bad. This was really, really bad.
