A ruthless business tycoon vs. a cool-headed researcher
Male and female rivals in a battlefield of love
Two powerful leads, rekindled love, a plot-driven story, and a few cases that require a little brainpower. (Please bear with the complicated setup at the beginning. It gets good!)
The moment he came of age and left the beginner’s village, the spoiled young Zhou Yanye met Ji Nanshi, an untouchable beauty and a genuine enchantress. Somehow, he actually managed to date her. He knew his lover was irresistible, and that plenty of people were waiting to swoop in and take his place. But when he found out Ji Nanshi had a fiancé, he still fell apart. Young and hot-blooded, he broke up with her, beginning a six-year unrequited love affair, as he saw it.
Six years later, the moment Ji Nanshi returned from abroad, both his unattainable first love and the woman he’d always longed for, Zhou Yanye clung to her without a second thought. He’d even accept being the other man, as long as he could be with her.
Ji Nanshi: Can’t you behave?
Zhou Yanye: Woof, woof, woof!
Ji Nanshi: We can never get married.
Zhou Yanye: I can be your lover for the rest of your life. I don’t mind keeping it secret.
Ji Nanshi rubbed her forehead. “If you’re with me, you’ll suffer for the rest of your life.”
Zhou Yanye’s eyes lit up. “What? For the rest of my life? Together? That’s great!”
From Zhou Yanye’s perspective, this is a long story about chasing his beloved. From Song Luofu’s perspective, it’s about people coveting her best friend and her defending that friend with her life. To Claire, it’s a story about working hard every single day... From everyone’s perspective, it’s a miserable, unhinged story. Don’t ask why I’m still writing it. The answer is that the author has lost it.
