A DIRE INHERITANCE
The sudden death of He Yu’s father comes as a great shock to Xie Qingcheng…but he soon learns that the ramifications go far beyond grief. He Yu is now saddled with the role of chairman of his parents’ pharmaceutical company—and with horrifying new revelations that shake the foundations of his world.

Is He Yu really cooperating with the organization that killed Xie Qingcheng’s parents? Has he truly been consumed by hatred—or could some vestiges of his feelings for Xie Qingcheng remain?

Wealthy and handsome, yet mentally unstable—He Yu has returned home from overseas with one goal in mind: to win the heart of Xie Xue, the girl of his dreams. However, in his time away, he has nursed more than unrequited feelings. He must confront his long-held grudge against Xie Xue’s overprotective brother, Xie Qingcheng, who doesn’t think He Yu capable of love.
But history is not easily rewritten. As He Yu’s former doctor, Xie Qingcheng is the only person in the world who truly understands He Yu’s volatile mental illness. When the two are involved in an explosive incident that exposes a dark secret, Xie Qingcheng’s suspicions about He Yu are confirmed. Now, He Yu must confront his own demons…including his dark obsession with Xie Qingcheng.
Meatbun is also the author of the bestselling series The Husky and His White Cat Shizun: Erha He Ta De Bai Mao Shizun and Remnants of Filth: Yuwu.
