Uncontrolled Reaction

[One woman, two men | Strong female lead | Men who grovel | Rivalry for her affection | Wealthy-family business battles | A battle of equals]

Ji Xingye returns home for her father’s funeral and slaps her stepmother in front of his mourning hall. “You think you have the right to talk to me about family?”

She is Mingsheng’s largest shareholder, yet the board publicly exposes her history of bipolar disorder. She fires back with a cold laugh: “I have no problem asking Lawyer Chen to draft a defamation suit right now.”

Gu Xun is the “medicine” her mother left her. When her mania flares, he coaxes her with pumpkin porridge: “Have a bite, and then you can bite me.” She bites his arm until it bleeds. He muffles a groan through the pain, slowly piecing her frayed nerves back together.

Xie Yu is the old love she hasn’t seen in ten years. Below the clinic, he grips her wrist, obsession gleaming in his eyes. “Then play with me. Don’t look for anyone else.” He acquires shares to become the second-largest shareholder, standing against her on the board.

She chooses no one, yet wants them both. She signs an engagement contract with a razor-sharp clause: “I won’t promise to be faithful to you, but you must be loyal to me.”

At the engagement banquet, she takes the initiative and kisses Gu Xun, but her eyes pass over his shoulder to Xie Yu in the last row. Meanwhile, Xie Yu kneels in the entryway, tilts his head up to her high heel, and says hoarsely, “Please, don’t leave me.”

She doesn’t need to become a better person. She only needs to make everyone live by her rules.

Until the day her mother’s final diary is opened, and she discovers that even that tenderness may have been a bargaining chip calculated long ago.
