Also known as The Judge’s Handbook: My Investor Is Actually My Secret Crush
[Unhinged Queen of the Courtroom × Refined Programmer with a Dark Side | Five-year age gap]
At 26, Xiang Li is a legend in the legal world, with 99 wins under her belt.
Fresh from winning a hundred-billion-yuan corporate battle, she grabs 31-year-old Qin Minglang by the tie and pins the programming mogul against his desk for a kiss. “Mr. Qin, stop using code to hide your crush. Have you got the guts to love me out in the open?”
Qin Minglang looks refined and gentle as he codes behind gold-rimmed glasses. In truth, he has already used a program to make custom victory wallpapers for her and hidden Easter eggs throughout his game that say, “Clear the game to see Xiang Li.”
The day she kisses him by force, his ears turn crimson. He retaliates by coding 99 electronic roses. “Since Lawyer Xiang is being so forward, I suppose I’ll just have to play along.”
From workplace flirting and love notes hidden in contract clauses to Xiang Li holding up a court ruling during a nationwide lawyers’ awards livestream and calling out, “Qin Minglang, will you sign away 99 victories for a lifetime with me?”
From their wedding at the White Horse venue dominating the trending charts to him engraving “Love Li for a Lifetime” on their wedding rings with code,
he shields her from parasitic relatives and turns her childhood home into a memorial to their time together.
She helps him win tough business battles and hides “Queen of Victory” in the subtle patterns of his company’s system.
Their daughter, Qin Yueli, inherits her mother’s sharp tongue and her father’s tenderness. She waves a toy law book and declares, “Dad has to listen to Mom.”
Years later, at 60, Xiang Li still grabs Qin Minglang by the tie and laughs.
He brings up that old “Love Li” code. Behind his reading glasses, his eyes shine just as brightly as they did the day she kissed him.
