[Cool, scheming beauty gong vs. sharp-tongued, shameless playboy shou]
[Two male leads, both pure + super-sweet unrequited love + two strong leads + younger gong + combative couple + switching roles]
Zhou Yuanlang and Jiang Jin were well-known rivals. Every time they met, they ended up arguing. Zhou Yuanlang's shameless, nasty personality was the polar opposite of Jiang Jin's cool, composed, and self-controlled image. Everyone said they were incompatible and that one of them was bound to have bad luck whenever they crossed paths.
When the skies turn cold, Jiang breaks.
With nowhere left to turn, Jiang Jin fainted on Zhou Yuanlang's doorstep.
Zhou Yuanlang took him in. A few days later, he brought him out to meet everyone. “If anyone dares lay a finger on him, they'd better see if they can still make it in Haicheng!”
The domineering CEO had turned into a housekeeper's pampered pet, and everyone was waiting to see him become a laughingstock.
As his employer, Zhou Yuanlang was even more insufferable than usual. “The wine poured by Lord Jiang tastes great! Another glass!”
“Lord Jiang, give my legs a massage.”
“Want to borrow money? Beg me.”

But Lord Jiang was Lord Jiang, after all. Even when cornered, he could still turn things around.
After a swift and decisive campaign, the traitors went to prison, those who had fallen behind returned, and the people who had kicked him when he was down were all left fearing for their own safety.
Zhou Yuanlang bowed out after the job was done and ran off faster than anyone, afraid Jiang would settle the score later.
He thought they would never cross paths again, but someone blocked his way. “Why are you running?”
Zhou Yuanlang: “I'm bored.”
With his arrogant smile and infuriating tone, he managed to get himself caught in the end.
Zhou Yuanlang couldn't figure it out: After years of secretly loving him, he'd finally gotten his chance, with everything going for him. How had he managed to play such a winning hand so badly?
