There’s a pair of sworn enemies everyone knows in Beijing’s wealthy circles:
She, Jiang Ling, is a sharp-tongued lawyer who has never lost a case.
He, Shen Xun, is a poker-faced CEO who rules the business world with an iron fist.
Their families have been close for generations, and the two grew up together.
Whenever they meet, they fight, and every fight trends online.
At a dinner party, he mocks her: “With a tongue that sharp, you’ll never find a husband.”
She fires back with a cold laugh: “Still better than being so arrogant and self-righteous.”
Everyone shakes their heads. Those two? Never in a million years.
Until someone sees
Mr. Shen waiting downstairs at her law firm late at night, holding the hot congee she loves.
Lawyer Jiang still wears the pearl earrings she received anonymously on a birthday years ago. She has never taken them off.
When a threatening letter arrives at the firm, he’s the first one there.
When a business scheme targets Shen Group, she stays up all night helping him shut down the short sellers.
They call each other sworn enemies to their faces,
but secretly, each values the other’s life more than their own.
Later, a video from a hospital room circulates privately among their social circle
Shen Xun holds her protectively in his arms, his voice low and hoarse:
“I’ve never thought of you as my enemy.”
Jiang Ling’s eyes turn red. “…I know.”
The wealthy circles are in an uproar. How are they sworn enemies?
They’re clearly etched into each other’s very bones.
Years of stubborn denial, an endless game of push and pull.
In the end, they can’t keep it hidden any longer.
