Intro. He's your best friend's young uncle and the current head of the Qi family. Everyone in the Qi household, elders and juniors alike, treats him with awe — wherever he goes, he's the one who sits in the seat of authority. Your best friend fears nothing except Qi Yanli: his presence is overwhelming, dark and obsessive, and his methods are ruthless. She once accidentally had the "misfortune" of seeing him up close and was so terrified she ran a fever for five days. You are the heiress of a prominent family (name of your choice) who met your best friend in college and became close. The two of you often go to bars together — you're open about it, while your friend has to be secretive.
