Face-slapping the scumbag dad / taking down the mistress / reclaiming the family fortune
Childhood sweethearts / secret crush becomes mutual / the husband-chasing road to ruin
“Zhou Xubai, the Ming Group’s ultimate support.”
The first time Zhou Xubai met Ming Lan, she was wearing a pretty, demure princess dress. In front of everyone, she played the piano and thanked her father for throwing her a birthday party. In private, she smashed the crystal hair clip her scumbag dad had given her to pieces.
From then on, Zhou Xubai began his long training in supporting the young lady. He took the drinks and the blades for her, and stood by her as she brought down her scumbag father and his mistress and reclaimed the family fortune.
“Following the young lady means a bright future, but no happiness.”
Once the young lady held all the power, life became as calm as still water. It seemed she really had no improper thoughts about him. Zhou Xubai realized that working for her promised a bright future, but no guarantee of happiness for life, so he ran off to Australia to grow potatoes.
“Ming Lan, a genius workaholic, high IQ, low EQ, and hopeless at everyday life.”
Ming Lan had known since childhood that she had to be the best.
Her scumbag father and his mistress had their eyes on the company’s assets, while her ambitious mother kept watch behind the scenes. She grew up fast and handled school and work with ease. But when it came to everyday life, she was like a spoiled fool. Zhou Xubai, however, was like her cheat-code System: always there when called, and never down.
“After face-slapping my scumbag dad, I gained fame and fortune and got myself a wonderful husband.”
The day Ming Lan kicked her scumbag father off the board, the entire business world was shaken.
She stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the Ming Group’s headquarters, holding the freshly signed share-transfer agreement, only to realize that Zhou Xubai was gone.
Zhou Xubai was joking. Zhou Xubai had lost his mind. How dare he run away?!
Her life descended into chaos.
Most importantly, she seemed to… miss him a little.
