[Sharp-tongued, scheming startup CEO × devoted, drama-loving president of a modern tech conglomerate]
Jiang Jing has a down-on-her-luck heiress, once adored by all from the moment she was born, now dismissed as a “weirdo” by high society. She has a beautiful face, but a tongue sharper than a scorpion’s sting.
Pei Yannian, the young master of the Pei family in the same tech industry, is the most shameless man Quan Heng has met in her twenty-two years.
Who goes around thinking about acquiring other people’s companies every day? He must be so bored he’s got nothing better to do!
For the sake of her company’s future, Quan Heng decides to use her prophetic ability to fleece her rival for all he’s worth.
In response to Pei Yannian’s provocation on Weibo, Quan Heng sends him a message:
[Your red underwear is in the third drawer from the left in your wardrobe. You like looking in the mirror at your big butt when you shower.]
Pei Yannian: “...”
Holy crap, I’ve angered a pervert!
Instead of being scared, Pei Yannian, whose thought process is one of a kind, starts convincing himself that he’s in love with her.
The first step to fleecing your rival: make the most of him.
So after agreeing to take part in Micro World, Quan Heng invites Pei Yannian to be her male co-star.
Pei Yannian: Since you’re asking me, I suppose I’ll reluctantly agree.
Quan Heng: For the sake of my company, I’ll endure this!
They work together to discuss the script and build their characters, and Quan Heng brings Pei Yannian breakfast every day. His fashion sense is bad? She puts together a different outfit for him each day. He’s in a bad mood in the middle of the night? She sacrifices sleep to “talk him through it.”
Three months later, the variety show ends.
The day after the arrogant, calculating Pei Yannian decides to confess his feelings, Quan Heng blocks him and leaves behind only a note:
[Let’s never meet again, you pretentious gold-digger.]
