Female Lead: Su Wan
28 years old, a key member of the operations department at a publicly listed company. Steady, patient, exceptionally dependable, and clearheaded.
From an ordinary background, she worked her way up to middle management. She understands the rules, office politics, and the value of keeping her head down, but she has strong principles.
Early on: quietly bears the pressure, takes the blame, gets her credit stolen by colleagues, and is exploited by her superiors.
Later: casts off her gentle facade, makes a forceful comeback, takes on workplace infighting, and rises all the way to the top in her career.
View of love: After being hurt in love, she trusts neither shortcuts nor the sincerity of wealthy families. She is extremely slow to warm up and deeply restrained.
Male Lead: Lu Zeyan
30 years old, the youngest executive director in the group, with real power in his hands. Cool and taciturn, exceptionally restrained.
On the outside, he is aloof, ascetic, unsociable, and decisive.
On the inside, he is perceptive, an excellent judge of character, protective of his own, and deeply devoted beneath his restraint.
He doesn't waste time on pointless flirting. Once he has made up his mind, he closes in step by step, gives her the utmost favor, and quietly has her back.
