[No CP / Modern succession battle / Corporate warfare and political intrigue / Heiress to a conglomerate / Feel-good fiction]

In the prosperous Republic of Dongsheng, the skyline of Linyuan City is defined by the skyscrapers of the Yuanhai Group. Fifteen-year-old Xiao Mingshu, the group's "heir apparent," has just graduated from the elite Linyuan International Middle School and is about to head to the Western Lan Federation for advanced studies at its top business school. But her father Xiao Zezhong's seemingly considerate arrangement, having the group's capable executive Zhao Huaying accompany her and help her settle in, feels like a bucket of cold water thrown over her. Xiao Mingshu's keen eyes catch Zhao Huaying's carefully concealed pregnancy, along with the complicated look in her father's eyes. The truth is plain: this "reliable" executive is her father's mistress, and the life growing in her womb will become a new bargaining chip in the struggle for the vast Xiao family fortune. Facing this blatant threat, young Xiao Mingshu is rocked inside, yet her face blooms with the most gracious of smiles. "All right. Auntie Zhao has always been the best person for the job." She knows that anger and accusations are pointless for now. Before her wings have fully grown, patience is her only armor.
