Ice-cold CEO Mu Wanxia X genius painter Shen Anning, who developed PTSD from growing up with constant comparisons
Shen Anning lived in an invisible cage.
At home, she was never “good enough.” Her parents' high expectations, her sisters' excellence, and her cousin's constant put-downs scorched her entire youth, leaving her with comparison-induced PTSD and a heart accustomed to giving way. Her greatest wish wasn't to be loved, but to disappear without a trace.
Mu Wanxia was the heir to the Mu Group, standing at the very top of the corporate world.
She built high walls with her composure and aloofness, locking away the trauma of being kidnapped as a teenager, the hidden daggers of the business world, and the loneliness of having no one to rely on.
Until one rainy night, Mu Wanxia came across Shen Anning, working late to wait out the rain, and a painting she'd left on the desk: a girl without an expression, trapped beneath a glass dome.
“Your painting tells me you have something no one else does.”
From that moment on, a glacier began to embrace the dust, and two battered hearts recognized each other in the darkness.
She said, “I've always feared being compared to others more than anything. But after meeting you, I finally understood: love isn't about being compared. It's about being seen.”
She said, “I was raised from birth to be an heir. But after meeting you, I finally learned how to become someone who is loved.”
You are both the abyss and the starlight. You are both my weakness and my armor.
