Yan's Passion, Wei's Seduction

At eighteen, Shi Wei entered Jing University with dreams of becoming a translator. At the college welcome booth, she asked, “Hello, could you tell me how to get to the women’s dormitory for the School of International Relations?”

A young man in a white shirt smiled at her. “Hi, I’m Mu Qingzhou, a junior in the School of International Relations. I’ll walk you there!”

Before long, Mu Qingzhou became Shi Wei’s whole world. He was brilliant and dazzling, and he cherished and loved her. She was sweet and obedient, looking up to and adoring him. Together, they promised each other forever.

Ten years later, Shi Wei is a translator at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mu Qingzhou is a senior interpreter back from the United Nations, and the youngest member of Huayi’s executive leadership.

Before Mu Qingzhou returns home, Shi Wei receives a photo and an audio clip. A woman is kissing a man on the cheek.

The woman says, “Ten years with Shi Wei. You really are devoted.”

The man replies, “Calling it devotion when I was twenty? Now, after all this time, she’s been shaped into exactly what I want. It’s like having a suit custom-made: after ten years of measuring and tailoring, it fits perfectly.”

That familiar face and voice turn the heart she has waited with for years into a wasteland.

Zhong Yan is a diplomat, Shi Wei’s colleague, and the brother of her best friend’s husband. In private, he’s sharp-tongued and talks too much, making him a real nuisance.

Shi Wei never imagined she would have a secret affair with Zhong Yan.

At a party with their circle of friends, a man pushes her into the restroom.

Zhong Yan grips her slender waist. “You’re not really thinking of getting back together with him, are you?”

Shi Wei glares at him with her almond-shaped eyes. “That’s my business.”

Zhong Yan gives a lazy, faint smile. “Sorry! Mu Qingzhou just declared his claim on you to me. He picked the fight, so this isn’t just your business anymore!”
