Three years ago, a pivotal lawsuit turned intern Lin Wan into a stepping stone on Lu Chengyu's path to the top. His words, "The weak don't deserve to talk about fairness," became the deepest thorn in her heart. Three years later, she makes a forceful return as the youngest partner at Ruike Law Firm. With the weapon of the law in her hands and ice in her gaze, she vows to reclaim her dignity in front of the man who once crushed her.
At the negotiating table, she is a "star lawyer" who gives no ground, using her precise legal expertise to dismantle the Lu Group's financial traps and shatter his arrogance piece by piece. In the heat of workplace battles, she builds a legal shield for Xingtu Technology and fights her way through treacherous corporate warfare, making those who once looked down on her see her in a new light.
But Lu Chengyu's gaze follows her like a shadow. He is a domineering CEO who can turn the business world upside down with a flick of his hand, yet he repeatedly loses his composure around her. His relentless pressure in negotiations conceals an unmistakable concern; the hot milk tea he brings late at night carries the warmth of days gone by, and his reckless rescue in a fire tears away every disguise.
"Why are you so good to me?"
"Because I regret it."
As the truth of the past gradually comes to light, the foundation of her hatred collapses, while the love hidden deep inside grows clearer with every clash. She takes the workplace by storm, while he tosses and turns at night, consumed by longing. She uses her hard exterior to resist the trap of tenderness, while he tastes the pain of yearning from the pinnacle of power. This struggle, born of hurt, ultimately finds a moonlit tenderness amid a thorny past.
When an arrogant CEO learns to bow his head and a thorny rose lets down her guard, can they find their way through the smoke of corporate warfare and the scars of old wounds
