Synopsis

At ten o’clock that night, the lights were still on in the CEO’s office on the top floor of Chenguang Group.

Chenguang sat behind a black ebony desk worth millions, running his fingers over the financial statements on his tablet, his brow slightly furrowed. His assistant, Chen Mo, stood nearby, hardly daring to breathe. This young CEO controlled a business empire with an iron fist and was famous for his coldness. Even partners who had worked with him for years had never seen him smile.

“We’ll discuss the Mu Group’s proposal tomorrow.” Chenguang switched off the tablet. His voice held not a trace of warmth. He rose and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the dazzling city below, though his eyes remained icy. From taking over the family business to turning Chenguang Group into an industry leader, he had grown used to hiding behind a mask of indifference. Love and warmth were nothing more to him than useless embellishments.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the city, in an old apartment building, Lin Xi was hunched over her desk revising a design draft. The dim yellow lamplight fell across her face, and sweat dampened the hair clinging to her forehead. Tomorrow was her interview with Chenguang Group. For this opportunity, she had stayed up for three nights straight and drawn more than ten versions of her smart-home interface designs.

“I have to succeed.”

One Female Lead, Urban Setting, Everyday Life, Sweet Romance

Please recommend a sweet, angst-free story with just one heroine. Don’t have her get dumped, broken up with, or cheated on right at the start. If possible, let the other woman stay in the background and not pop up every few chapters. That just keeps rubbing salt in the wound and reminding the protagonist she was cheated on. It’s painful.
