In the sweltering June heat of Haicheng, intern Su Nian spilled coffee on a man’s leather shoes in the elevator on her first day at work. As she crouched down to wipe them clean, she had no idea that the man whose shoes she had stained was Lu Siheng, the youngest CEO of Chenming Group and the person no one in the company dared to cross.
Lu Siheng had never given any woman a second glance. But after the elevator doors closed that day, he said to his assistant, “Find out if there’s a new intern named Su Nian.”
A connection sparked by a cup of coffee takes root amid rumors, bullying, and schemes. Lu Siheng’s obsessive devotion runs bone-deep: once he chooses someone, it’s for life. He makes her coffee himself, taps on the wall three times late at night and waits for her reply, and stands in the hallway listening to every word of her defense when the whole company turns against her. Su Nian rises from being invisible in the workplace, earns respect through her professional skills, and advances from intern to head of brand operations.
But joining the Lu family is no easy feat. There’s her stepbrother’s sabotage, her father’s scrutiny, and an ex-girlfriend who won’t let go... Some are waiting in the shadows for her to fall, while others want to use her to destroy Lu Siheng.
She doesn’t want to be the one protected. She wants to stand by his side.
From “You’re my life” to “I’ll never back down or trade you for anyone,” from “I won’t turn off the light you switched on” to “For all the years to come,” he tells her in his own way that she’s the only one he’ll ever choose.
A love that goes both ways, an obsessive devotion, and a romance that grows from the dust for everyone to see.
