Qin Yuluo regrets so much about her life that she could tear her hair out.
First, she slacked off and complained about her boss while working overtime. Right after calling capitalists “inhuman,” she turned around and walked straight into her boss’s icy gaze, dying of embarrassment on the spot.
Second, her mother forced her to go on a blind date. When she looked up, the man sitting across from her was none other than Fu Jinghuan, so sharp-tongued he could make anyone cry, and her very own boss, whom she’d just been complaining about!
Their eyes met. Qin Yuluo had only one thought: Run!
But with the pressure to marry mounting, and Fu Jinghuan also at his family’s mercy, the two hit it off and signed a “Romance Strategic Partnership Agreement” on the spot: a model couple in public, each free to do their own thing in private, no interference, and they’d part ways when the contract expired.
Who knew Mr. Fu would have his sharp-tongued skills maxed out?
Qin Yuluo only wants to slack off at work and lie flat after hours. She believes there should be nothing but cases at work, and absolutely no romance.
Then one day, her ex blocks her outside the company and won’t leave her alone. Fu Jinghuan suddenly steps forward and casually puts an arm around her shoulders. His tone is calm, but his presence is commanding:
“Stay away from my girlfriend. If she hits you, I won’t stop her.”
Qin Yuluo freezes on the spot.
Then her father suddenly becomes critically ill, and she is so panicked she doesn’t know what to do. Fu Jinghuan quietly takes care of everything, then gently holds her as she trembles in the hospital corridor.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Only later does she realize that this aloof, taciturn capitalist, so lofty and cold in public, will sit up late at night when she doesn’t know, eyes red, and quietly beg her: “Please don’t leave, okay?”
She thought it had all been an act from beginning to end, nothing more than playing along.
