Synopsis
[18+] A villainous and romantic story about revenge and loathing, of love and intense desire between rivals: Shi Yen is a hard-hearted, wicked, and intelligent heiress of a Business Empire, who had an exceptional and promising future. That was until her parents died with the company on the brink of collapse, and until their rivals—Yuan Bank—took everything from them.
Beneath the depths of despair, Shi Yen discovers her father's secret as the faceless and nameless Emperor of the Underworld, running elite criminal organizations across the black society. Shi Yen then succeeds in his role as the Empress, spending years re-establishing herself to take Shi Group back from her enemies' hands. However, a near-fatal confrontation caused Shi Yen to withdraw her role as the Empress, gearing her back to live a normal life.
She then meets Yuan Shun, the man she loathed and wanted to be. The hatred is mutual. Yet, despite their rivalry, tension rises every time Shi Yen and Yuan Shun meet. They cannot deny their mutual admiration for each other, their complicated feelings, blooming chemistry, and burning desire. Between banters, competitive games, and encounters, would they ever stop to wonder if their hate blossomed into love? Especially when Yuan Shun may not be as cruel and wicked as Shi Yen initially thought him to be. Would they be able to be together when her dark past follows everywhere they go?
- NO EVIL SISTER/MOTHER/EX-BOYFRIEND
- NO MAJOR MISUNDERSTANDINGS
- NO RAPE
Meanwhile, Yuan Shun is the next successor of one of the greatest commercial banks in China, owning other businesses on the side. His family are known as debt collectors with an abundance of wealth, who helps or destroys companies. It's all for business, nothing personal. However, when Yuan Shun stumbles upon Shi Yen, he felt a surge of desire, a fluttering of somersaults in his ice-cold heart. But knowing that out of all his enemies, she loathed him the most. He then attempts to make her fall for him, knowing it would make him win their self-proclaimed long battle. But he wondered why she did not escape his wildest reveries? What made him so drawn to her? What could he do if she was his greatest rival?
However, despite their hatred, how long can Shi Yen and Yuan Shun deny their undeniable attraction towards each other after a series of coincidental events?
…
On the other hand, Shi Ailin had grown up as a wallflower in High Society, living a sheltered life by her parents and her older sister, the ruthless Shi Yen. However, since the ruination of her family, she couldn't forget what happened to them since her parent's mysterious deaths and the company's collapse.
Shi Ailin is an innocent, naive, and clueless woman who learns that to survive the cruel world she is thrust in, she must harden her heart. She then finds herself entangled with the Luo brothers, Luo Tian and Luo Wanting. Luo Tian is her ex-boyfriend who dumped her without giving her any reason or closure. Years later, she meets him again along with his older brother, Luo Wanting, a dangerously cunning man she was warned to stay away from, who offers her help to find the truth behind her parent's demise. Who will she choose?

M.A.S.T.E.R.P.I.E.C.E I would love to rate 100 stars. Sadly, five stars was the limit. The novel was written by TheRedQueen, that only fact was meant that the story's superb and well written. I hope this novel will goes premium soon 💕
This book is so hot and steamy but that does not take away from the story at all. The characters and plot are actually somewhat plausible (in the given scenario) and all seem very human with pros and cons. Decisions that are made actually make sense and are explained so you're never wondering why they would do something so stupid or thoughtless like in some other novels with jerks for MLs and weak FLs. TheRedQueen is a wonderful author and her books always satisfy.
Another full marks review M.A.S.T.E.R.P.I.E.C.E for the second part of this book (c106). Looking at how masterpiece the second part synopsis seems like, it's like I read another brand new book from the dearest TheRedQueen. It would be great if I can see my best couple to get pregnant in the process, rather than wait until the very end of the story. The fluffy story about parenting seems good to me. The second part of this book is about the the FL's pressumed (oopss almost spoiler!) The Author is truly good at improvisation! Full of suprises! The second part of this book is actually born because of Author & Readers wild imagination. Especially the readers who refuse and defy the Heaven (opps I mean the original story plot). Anyway, no need to think twice about spending coin in this book! This book is masterpiece ❤️
Like all the books this dear author has written, and which I have devoured, 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈, this is simply a beautiful work of art. Really... Very well written, with caracter development and, 😉 room for the imagination to wonder in the lovely love sceens 😉. So give it a try. 😘

UPDATED AUTHOR'S REVIEW: This is a short (18+) enemies-to-lovers romance novel with an EROTICA subplot after chapter 70. There is tens*on between the two business rivals, Shi Yen and Yuan Shun, who can't tell if they loathe or desire each other in every encounter they meet. Shi Yen harbours a dark secret that can threaten those she cares about, and Yuan Shun has the power to help or ruin her. Shi Yen is a hard-hearted, cunning, and fearsome woman who doesn't let anything rattle her—except for Yuan Shun, who seems to creep into her heart. Yuan Shun, on the other hand, is a family man who strives to protect those he cares about, even if he takes harsh and unforgiving measures to do anything for them. But when Shi Yen and Yuan Shun collide, they realize they have more in common than they thought. They begin to understand each other more than they did before, learning that neither of them is cruel and wicked; they are both beautiful and wicked. Meanwhile, Shi Yen's sister, Shi Ailin, is an innocent, naive, and clueless woman who learns that to survive the cruel world she is thrust in, she must harden her heart. She then finds herself entangled with the Luo brothers, Luo Tian and Luo Wanting. Luo Tian is her ex-boyfriend who dumped her without giving her any reason or closure. Years later, she meets him again along with his older brother, Luo Wanting, a dangerously cunning man she was warned to stay away from, who offers her help to find the truth behind her parent's demise. Who will she choose? DISCLAIMER: My novel is for ADULTS (18+) only due to DETAILED smut/sex scenes and coarse language. Fair warning that this novel will have a balance between romantic and erotic scenes. There will also be occasional (mild) drinking and smoking scenes. Thank you! What does this novel have? - Little to no mistakes in Grammar. Every chapter is edited. - Strong/Independent Female lead - NO rape or sexual assault - Tension - Enemies-to-lovers romance - Comedic relief - Underworld Background story for the Female MC and several other characters. - Morally grey characters/Anti-heroes - SEX!! Lots of it. - And of course, sweet and fluffy Romance. 2nd Disclaimer: Please refrain from rude/mean comments. If you want to offer criticism/critique, please do so in a respectful manner and offer meaningful feedback. It is welcome. Rude comments are not tolerated, and not considered valuable criticism if it involves insulting the author. Thank you for your cooperation.
