Ye Lanyin is known at her law firm as a troublemaker.
She comes from an ordinary family, with parents who favor sons over daughters, and fought her way up to become a partner on her own.
The first time she met Shang Yinan, he tossed her proposal onto the floor. “Do it again.”
The second time, he messaged her at three in the morning to ask, “How can our client avoid liability if their celebrity spokesperson has a scandal?”
She gritted her teeth and put up with it, thinking, Once the contract is signed, I never want to see him again.

Later, that impossible client began trying to win her over. He brought her medicine for her stomach, came to her rescue, helped drive off her troublesome parents, and even got down on one knee in front of her. “Will you marry me?”
She fell for him.
The next day, his mother slapped a check and a contract down in front of her. “Leave my son. You’re not good enough for him, and our family will never accept you as a daughter-in-law.”
Ye Lanyin didn’t even look at them. “No, thank you. I can support myself and earn my own money. You should keep it to buy yourself some dignity.”
-
She thought she could win.
Until Shang Yinan broke with his family for her. He stood before her, weary and red-eyed.
“Baby, I have nothing left now. Do you still want me?”
I do. I’ll take care of you for the rest of our lives.
