The Favored Heiress Novel

Li Qiao, the beloved daughter of the Li Family, faces humiliation when her engagement is abruptly called off. Her family's outrage is swift and fierce as they condemn the unfaithful man. Fate intervenes when Li Qiao encounters Shang Yu, also known as Shang Shaoyan—her former fiancé's elder brother. Whispers surround this enigmatic figure: some call him Nanyang's most mysterious man, while others know him as the city's feared underground Overlord, a dangerous and possessive force to be avoided. On a rain-soaked day, Li Qiao introduces herself with quiet determination, contemplating a new path forward as her ex's sister-in-law, perhaps even more. Months pass, and when her former fiancé mockingly accuses her of pursuing him, Shang Yu swiftly intervenes, demanding respect for his sister-in-law. A new rumor spreads through Nanyang: the ruthless Overlord has found the one woman he treasures unconditionally—Li Qiao.
