Getting Close to You Is My Plan

A calculated approach, a redemption born of true feelings.

Lin Yu approaches Zhou Yan with an ulterior motive: the formidable business tycoon, now hospitalized with a stomach condition.

An "accidental" spill of coffee, a carefully prepared resume, a meticulously engineered "coincidence."

He needs Zhou Yan's protection and the resources of the Zhou Group to clear his wronged father's name.

Zhou Yan sees through the "accident."

But he lets the young man stay, with his clear eyes, long fingers, and the same cedarwood scent he wears.

He wants to see what this little con artist is really after.

And so begins a game they both know they are playing.

Lin Yu carefully plays the "perfect assistant" right under Zhou Yan's nose,

while Zhou Yan quietly watches the "little con artist" from the shadows.

They clash in the conference room, test each other in the break room, and face off in silence late into the night as they work overtime.

Until the "New Domain" project faces a devastating crisis,

until undercurrents swirl within the board,

until overseas capital circles like a predator

only then do they realize that their game has long since changed its nature.

Lin Yu's fingers tremble as he hands Zhou Yan warm water and stomach medicine when his stomach hurts,

while Zhou Yan rushes to Lin Yu's defense before he can even think when Lin Yu is under attack.

Calculation becomes protection, probing becomes concern, and their game becomes a partnership.

"I planned to get close to you from the very beginning."

"I know. Letting you stay was part of my plan, too."

When every disguise is torn away and every scheme laid bare,

when they clasp hands in the eye of the storm
