Meng Xijun, new to the workplace, never imagined she would become the "variable" in a power struggle among the wealthy.
She only wanted a steady job and a chance to grow, but on her very first day at Xingrui Group, she met an intern who seemed ordinary yet somehow out of place in every way: Tong Sanjia.
He was calm, restrained, and inscrutable, like a pool of deep water.
She was bright, resilient, and unwilling to turn back, like a ray of sunshine.
Power struggles, battles of capital, old flames reigniting, and marriages arranged between wealthy families.
Some were swept up in it; others were forced into the game.
As the hidden currents of this tangled game surged around them,
the only thing they could hold on to was each other.
The storm will eventually clear,
but only if
you are willing to join me and see this game through together.
Then one night, in the pouring rain, I worked late and got into his luxury car on the way home. "You..." I stared at his face as he took off his glasses. Wasn't this Tong Si, a regular fixture in the finance and entertainment news, and the true heir to Xingrui?!
He thought I would be shocked by this huge revelation. Little did he know, a wage slave only cares whether she's getting a raise.
The smoke of corporate warfare was thicker than I had imagined. Tong Si's cousin accused me of leaking core data at a board meeting. A business partner suddenly tore up our contract, then turned around and copied my proposal word for word. Even the traffic on my livestream was secretly boosted with low-quality paid accounts.
They stole my projects and twisted right and wrong, turning the workplace into a battlefield. The point is, I'm just a lowly employee! What does a feud between wealthy families have to do with me?
What? You're saying I'm involved with Tong Si, so I'm caught in the crossfire?
We're both adults, and we haven't even married or placed any bets. My job has nothing to do with him. I make it on my own, okay?!
