The Cage of the Heartless Wolf

Eleven-year-old Jiarui (now Zain Yan) only wanted to blow out his candles and wish for his father’s return. Instead, he witnessed a massacre. On his birthday, three masked assassins shattered his world. He watched his mother, Zhao Qi, fall to a bullet, and his little sister, Jiya, sacrifice her life to save him. The image of a Dragon Tattoo on the killer’s arm was burned into his memory. Jiarui died that night; in his place, a cold-blooded survivor was born. The Present: The Predator and the Pawn Years later, Jiarui has been adopted by the powerful Zhenyu Yan, CEO of Z.Y Empire, and renamed Zain Yan. Now 27, he is Shenzhen’s most ruthless billionaire. Alongside his adoptive sister Fengning, he has built an empire, but his soul only hungers for one thing: the head of Lu Kang, the man who betrayed his father and caused his family's slaughter. Enter Aanya Lu (21), an innocent, hardworking girl who adores K-pop and dreams of a simple life. Zain discovers a devastating truth: Aanya is the beloved niece of his arch-enemy, Lu Kang. To destroy the uncle, Zain decides to break the niece. He pulls her into his corporation, intending to use her as a "weapon of revenge." The Twist: Love, Betrayal, and The Dragon King However, Aanya isn’t just a stranger. Years ago, Zain saved her from thugs to protect Fengning, and she became his first, secret love.

But the shadows are closing in. Aanya’s ex-boyfriend, Ruan Jian, returns. Once her support, he shattered her heart—not out of malice, but because he is the Right Hand of the Dragon King. He knows the secret of Aanya’s birth: she isn't just Lu Kang's niece; she is the key to the Dragon King’s ultimate power. As bullets fly and the truth about the "Night of Blood" emerges, Zain realizes that Aanya isn't his pawn—she is his only weakness. To save her, the Heartless Wolf must decide: Will he complete his revenge, or burn the world down to protect the girl whose blood is tied to his nightmare? You are my wife, Aanya.
