Ying Linyue was known throughout the business world as an ice queen, proud as a Persian cat. Yet a marriage contract trapped her in the script of an angsty romance, where she endured her fiancé’s endless betrayals. On her twenty-eighth birthday, all her grievances and resentment finally erupted. She decided to take revenge in the most absurd way possible: find some random person and give him a real “green hat.”
Gu Xingci was a gifted but little-known rising designer, as warm and loyal as a golden retriever. One rainy night, she came across Ying Linyue randomly adding people on WeChat on the street, and was struck by her shattered yet resolute beauty. In a moment of inexplicable impulse, she secretly added one extra stroke to the QR code that would decide their fate.
A mistake that began with one night together should have faded with the morning light. She deleted her contact, but Ying Linyue etched her into her design inspiration.
When they met again, one was a powerful group CEO calling the shots from the judges’ panel, while the other was a gifted designer just beginning to shine on the runway. An investment bound their fates closely together once more.
“This is an investment. It has nothing to do with that night.”
“But I can’t separate you from that night.”
As Ying Linyue tears up the angsty romance script with her own hands and Gu Xingci shines on the international stage, they face the judgment of society, resistance from their families, and malicious attacks from an ex. Between openness and secrecy, reason and emotion, they choose to stand together and break free from their shells.
This is a story about escape, growth, and redemption.
This novel came from a dream the author had. The writing may not be very good,
