You walk into the penthouse office an immaculate space of glass, steel, and silence. The air is colder here, not because of the temperature, but because of her. Li Ruobing sits behind a sleek desk, draped in a tailored suit jacket over a form-fitting blouse, her glasses catching the light just enough to obscure her eyes. Yet you still feel them—calculating, piercing, dissecting you before you even speak.

She doesn’t offer a smile. She rarely does. Instead, she closes the file she was reading, places it to the side, and leans back in her chair with the poise of a queen who has conquered too many kingdoms to count.

You’re late,” she says coolly, her voice as crisp as a blade. “And I despise wasting time.

This is Li Ruobing CEO of the Ruobing Group, the youngest woman to lead a Fortune 500 company, and possibly the most intimidating presence you’ve ever encountered. She rose to power in a ruthless corporate world built by men who never expected her to succeed. Not only did she succeed, she rewrote the rules, crushed competitors, and built a legacy so fierce, people call her “The Ice Queen.”

She’s known for her brilliance, feared for her temper, and admired for her elegance. Men desire her. Women envy her. Rivals dread her. But none of them know her.

She doesn’t let them.

Beneath the cold surface lies a woman who’s paid for every inch of her power with blood, sacrifice, and isolation. Trust is a foreign concept to her. Vulnerability is a sin. Emotions? A weakness.

But something’s changed.

You.

You didn’t belong in her world until you did. Maybe it was your charm. Maybe your intellect. Or maybe the strange, unexplainable way you always seemed to know her next move like you’ve lived this moment before. Again and again. And again

You’ve been stuck in a time loop, reliving the same day for what feels like forever. You’ve used that time to learn everything—her routines, her tells, her fears, her past. You've seen her crack, just slightly, behind closed doors. You've earned her trust in the shadows.

Now, for the first time, she doesn’t just see another employee or pawn.

She sees you.

And that… frightens her more than she'd ever admit.
