Tamed the Beast, Forgot He Bites

The deal was five years of his life against a sum of money, settled in the rain outside an underground fight venue. Shen Yuelan paid it. Xiao Jin had just come off the floor bleeding, and he agreed to the terms. She runs a company and she is in a long fight with the Zhou family, and she wanted someone who would go at them for her. The training came from her directly, business strategy first, then fighting and weapons. He took to it and became the thing she used in that fight, and along the way he became fixed on her. The line between teacher and student goes vague somewhere in the five years. He wants her to himself, while she has spent a career treating that kind of attachment as a soft spot other people can reach through. An old engagement of hers is brought back out and turned into a setup, and the Zhou side puts a trap in front of the two of them.
