He squeezed her jaw: “Did I become the object of your research?”
She gave a dazzling and alluring smile, immersing herself in his breath: “Mr Nian, aren’t you still living perfectly all right? Currently, I’m only interested in the last dream of the deceased. As for you and me, it’s just a game. If we can afford to play, we will be happy and satisfied. If we cannot afford to play, then get lost!”
He remained calm and collected: “Su Ye, I’m Nian Bai Yan, so you really may not be able to afford to play this game.”
Nian Bai Yan is very demanding in his approach to work and treatment of staff. He is the most unreasonable man yet he can make women go crazy about him. Su Ye is a controversial woman. She appears to only care about money but in reality she is stubborn and soft-hearted, making people feel sorry for her.
Dreams, memories, the subconscious and the business battles behind those shining jewels. The layer upon layer collision of treacherous psychological warfare. How to find out the truth when figuring out who is genuine and who is pretentious? Do you think what you saw is the truth? Perhaps, it is fake. Do you think what you heard is true? Perhaps, it is false. Are you real? Perhaps, you are also a phoney!
Meeting each other several years later is the fate between you and me. Even if the flower has blossomed, it is still not late. Life is like a dream and dream is like life. The power struggle amid the rich and prestigious, opposition between love and hate, are all merely a dream which you’ve to awaken from.

This is the longest book I've ever read. Also the best.
I was pretty unsure by this book at first when I've read people saying it's full of dog blood. But in the end, it's bearable. This book is very long, when you have to read until the 116th chapt to have the real first kiss, it was quite insane. But personally, I didn't feel it to be draggy. I absolutely love every single detail. The romance takes time to develop. She is very playful when he is the serious guy who is very quiet. But it doesn't mean he is boring. :)
Su Ye is back from the US. She starts to work in one of the most famous firm in Beijing. Nian Bai Yan is a CEO of a luxury jewelry company belonging to the Ye and the Nian family. Su Ye is the illegitimate daughter of the Ye Family, also Nian Bai Yan's sister-in-law (not really "in-law" because his marriage with her sister is fake). Su Ye tries to seduce Nian Bai Yan for revenge...when she gives up and tries to stay far away from him..it's too late, he has already fallen in love with her.
I remember Nian Bai Yan said something like : "I don't want to show off how many women want to step in my world, I just want to say, I've prepared my whole world for only one woman"
Yes Peanuts, I love Mr Nian because sells diamonds. But like Su Ye, I still love him when he is poor and jobless.
This book also shows people fight for money and power but in the end what they want the most is just a peaceful life.
Big thanks to Peanuts and Hoju for your help. ^^
116th chapter for the first kiss reminded me of some K dramas where the leads have theirs at the last eps........isnt there a C drama adapted from this novel starring Rain and Tang Yan?
Rain & TY's drama is not adapted fr this novel. It is just a coincidence that both are in the diamond trade. Bong said Mr Nian is a lot more handsome than Rain lol. There could be a drama on it so stay tune who'll be Mr Nian :)
hello! what a coincidence that you posted a book by this author because i was looking at another book written by the same author - 神秘男上司的邀请. have you read this book before?
yup i like reading the books by this author although it can be dog blood but i like her writing style. so far i have read 大寰妤: 许我倾室江山 and 总裁十恶不赦 (this one is a 养父养女 story though).
Silhoutte : I guarantee plenty of kisses after...
Peanuts : I know you are anti-rain. You only like sunshine.
Gwyn05 : If you like this author, I highly recommend this book. There is up and down but the romance is very sweet and cute. I've read 神秘男上司的邀请 before which is also very good. Her book is quite dog blood but the story always turns the way I like. The main guys are very bossy and decisive. They can have plenty girlfriends before but became faithful after they fell in love with the main girls. I've also read 暖擎天 and 豪门惊梦I : 99天调香新娘. But I don't like them as much as 素年不相迟 and 神秘男上司的邀请. I know 总裁十恶不赦 but I haven't read it because I read the main guy was with the main girl's mother before. But I saved it in case I change my mind. 大寰妤: 许我倾室江山 is an ancient book right? I don't read ancient novel. :)
I've put 七年顾初如北 and 豪门惊梦Ⅱ：尤克里里契约 by Yin Xun on my reading list. Just waiting for the author to finish writing the first one and the full translation for the second (because I can't read chinese).
oh dear my first comment was deleted i think.
bongsd: thanks for your recommendation, will check out this book after reading 神秘男上司的邀请.
大寰妤: 许我倾室江山: yup this has an ancient setting. in fact it was my first book by this author since it was recommended in shushengbar,
总裁十恶不赦: the main guy did have a relationship with the main girl's mother. SPOILER: the main guy was raised by wolves as a child and didn't have much understanding of human relationships. later on, he was accepted into a gang as a teenager. the girl's mother was the lover of the gang boss, she was also the first woman he met. she was nice to him like how an older sister would be to a sibling. so he probably confused romantic and familial love and was obsessed with her. the main girl couldn't accept the relationship between her mother and the guy. after both of them realized their true feelings, they reaffirmed their love for each other. yup but this book has two taboo relationships - adopted father & daughter (although he didn't interact much with her initially) and mother was the previous lover of the guy.
Thanks Bongsd and Peanuts for the info. No wonder when I watch the trailer with Rain he was speaking in Korean language hence I thot Mr Nian in the book should be Chinese. Now Ive changed my mind and will put this in my To Read list and the other two books you have recommended tho the many chapters are quite a deterrent.....:)
4 of 4 votes said this book is excellent.. and im curious. i hope someone will translate this.. i'll appreciate it :)
Dun trust the rating bcos all voted by Bongsd lol.
The one to translate this novel is like committing suicide bcos the book is so long, it even crushed my apps :(
I've been reading this using @voice reader android app on my mobile phone. Love this book as the twists and turns are very well written and unexpected. One of the best books that I've ever read. Highly recommended.
@Yui No hope, but you can wait a few years for the drama. :)
@Peanuts Only voted once. Seriously, you think I'm like you? :D
@Yukikumori If you like this book, I highly recommend 《七年顾初如北》by the same author. The main guy is Mr Nian's friend. He is the guy who bought the earrings in Mongolia. He gives it back later as wedding gift. The story is also abt Nian Bai Yan's assistant and his friend. But they are minor characters. Until now (344 chapters), the story is great but Yin Xun is still writing it.
