[Cold, ruthless, unhinged CEO x world-weary, disabled female bodyguard | Two powerful women finding redemption · dark corporate warfare]
Jiang Jianyue, heir to a conglomerate, bears the curse of inherited mental illness. Lu Li is a former elite special forces officer, shattered by her partner's brutal death.
Their arrangement begins, and they become one another's poison and tranquilizer.
“Lu Li, when I have an episode, hold me down. Don't go easy on me.”
“Jiang Jianyue, if you lose control, I'll slap you. I won't hesitate.”
Family power struggles, a bloody shooting, and three bosses hiding in plain sight drag them into the abyss.
They fight each other amid conspiracies and cling to each other when all hope is lost.
She takes a deadly blade meant for the other; when PTSD makes her fall apart, the other silences her with a kiss.
“Jiang Jianyue, half my life belongs to you now. Don't waste it.”
“Good. Then I'll help you carry your illness to the end, even if we have to go to hell together.”
When every disguise falls away, they are the only light in each other's abyss.
“If I go mad tomorrow...”
“Then I'll go mad with you.”
On a tightrope, two broken souls embark on a love affair as fierce as it is relentless.
