[A top tycoon’s all-consuming devotion + two strong leads growing together, sweetness and angst intertwined + the push and pull of grown-up love]
A marriage of convenience? No. I want you to become my ace, standing shoulder to shoulder with me.
On the day she went on a blind date at a budget café, Li Wei had no idea she’d run into Shen Yizhou, the richest man in the city. Flustered, she tried to hide her crumpled résumé. “I’m sorry, I’m not here on a blind date.”
He glanced up and replied unhurriedly, “What a coincidence. Neither am I.”
Later, Li Wei became the “insider hire” in the president’s office at Shen Group, and everyone wondered what tricks she’d used to get there. Only she knew that the absurd prenuptial agreement and his demanding conditions, delivered under a cold, scrutinizing gaze, had her walking on eggshells.
He made her study the most difficult financial models, tossed her impossible assignments, and after late-night meetings would say only, “The road is hard, but you have to walk it.” Yet on a rainy night when she was close to breaking down, he crossed half the city just to tell her, “Stay strong. I’m here.”
While everyone thought this was nothing more than a whim-fueled grooming game for a tycoon, Shen Yizhou entrusted her with command of the group’s rear operations during a crisis. When the smoke cleared, he tore up the agreement and pinned her against the floor-to-ceiling window.
“Li Wei, I miscalculated how quickly I’d lose control around you.”
“From now on, I don’t want a fiancée, ”
“I want the one and only woman who can stand beside me and play the game.”
