City's Reverse Path

Lu Qi once held a promising future, but a carefully orchestrated trap caused his career to collapse, leaving him burdened with a tarnished reputation and abandoned by everyone. Former friends avoided him, and his long-time lover chose to turn away. Having hit rock bottom, he struggled to survive in a dim rented room, intending to lie low, but unexpectedly encountered the calm and sharp Shen Yanshu. She dwells in the capital circles, seeing through hypocrisy and scheming, equally trapped in the cage of family interests. Two deeply wounded people unexpectedly intersect, testing each other, wary of one another. Lu Qi starts from the mud, dismantling the conspiracy of the past, step by step reclaiming everything that belongs to him. Business battles, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, old enemies constantly attacking, love and hate intertwined. He not only has to clear his humiliation but also protect the woman who dares to defy the world. Moving against the tide in the noisy city, finding true love in desperate straits. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: City's Reverse Path — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
