(A ruthless, flirtatious female lead vs. a roguishly handsome, devoted, tough-guy CEO)
[Women's Growth + Clear-Eyed and Realistic + Rivalry + Intense Flirtation and Tension + Sweet, Angsty, and Satisfying]
Xu Xingran, 27, is a top planner in a first-tier city, earning a million a year, with a car and a house. She lives boldly and clearly, shining bright. Yet she still can't escape going home for the New Year, where her fourth aunt, sixth uncle, and other relatives gang up on her and sneer that she's an “old maid nobody wants.”
The only wealthy and beautiful “older single woman” in the Xu family, Xu Xingran has had enough. She fires back at her relatives without holding back, then drags her suitcase out of the house.
She catches a ride along the way. The driver looks perfectly respectable, but he's unbearably flirtatious.
She thinks she'll never see him again.
Then, on her first day back at work after the New Year, a new CEO arrives in the conference room.
That familiar face walks in with a faint, knowing smile.
“Director Xu, we meet again.”

Jiang Wang, head of the Jiang Group, one of Jiangcheng's most powerful families, acts carefree and is arrogant and ruthless in public. In private, however, he has a tender, tough side no one knows about.
One day, a video of Jiang Wang kneeling in front of a little red-brick courtyard in the countryside with a five-carat diamond ring, proposing to a woman, goes viral.
The entire circle of Jiangcheng's most powerful families is in an uproar!
The mysterious powerhouse behind a new tech company has stepped into the world of mortals and, in the end, found someone who can make him vulnerable.
Xu Xingran rubs the diamond ring on her finger and looks over the shares and assets listed under her name in their marriage agreement. She silently does the math. It doesn't seem like a bad deal.
She thinks it's a marriage of convenience, with each of them getting what they want.
But she never expected that...
At work, he openly takes her side: “She's my person. You don't get to tell her what to do.”
At home, he is tender to the bone: “Baby, this isn't a contract. I've been plotting this for a long time.”
Xu Xingran is stunned. “Wait, you're serious??”
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Not bad! Plain, realistic, and slightly sweet.
