Love rivalry + emotionally hollow workaholic heroine + maximum heroine charm + strong sense of self-worth + optimism
With the worst possible start in life, Xia Tian has nothing left to worry about. Her father doesn't care for her, her mother doesn't love her, and after growing up in an abusive home, she knows no one but herself will plan for her future. She knows her strengths perfectly well. If her boyfriend can't help her get ahead, she'll step over him and climb into bed with a more powerful older man.
More than love, what she's always wanted is a future that shines bright. Trapped in a dark whirlpool, Xia Tian doesn't turn evil. Instead, she comes up with a crazy idea.
She'll leap over the dragon gate and challenge the people on the other side.
Xia Tian (female lead): Incapable of love, emotionally hollow, gambler with her life
Zhou Siran (male lead, younger): Crybaby, tamed beast, a terrible man with a sincere heart, ex-boyfriend
Wen Shi'an (male lead, same age): Living in a stupor, new life for an old tree, a beautiful but unattainable illusion, homewrecker who takes the top spot
Zhou Ting (male lead, older): Obsessive man in power, pathological possessiveness, deeply suspicious, love and hate in equal measure, older brother of her ex-boyfriend
Major warning, and there's no getting around it: One of the male leads, Zhou Ting, has been in a de facto marriage.
Warning: The heroine is incapable of love, but that doesn't mean she can't sense other people's emotions.
