UNDER MY CONTROL ✔ (Under Heavy Editing)
Wang Yibo was born with everything - wealth, power, and a legacy that could crush anyone who defied him. But the one thing he never had was a heart to love. And so, when the woman he'd waited for betrayed him with a poor student, Yibo's pride shattered. What began as humiliation soon turned into vengeance, century's most cruelest one. Xiao Zhan never expected his love to cost him everything, but it did. His freedom, his dreams, even his right to decide his own fate were all gone, replaced by the suffocating control of a man who wore authority like a crown and cruelty like a second skin. Seems like a cliché plot, right? But what if revenge was never the real reason? What if the truth behind Yibo's wrath ran deeper and much darker than anyone could imagine? And what if every move, every heartbreak, every ruin had been planned from the very start? Well, sometimes, love isn't what's written in the story - 'It's what's buried beneath it.'Complete
