Lost in the Night Tide

[Powerful, high-ranking uncle × radiant female secretary]

[Reunion after years apart + sweet romantic tension + the powerful one gives in + devoted to each other]

Su Yi goes out to dinner with her best friend. After a few drinks, she gets utterly drunk and ends up spending the night tangled up with a man.

When she wakes at dawn, Su Yi is dumbfounded.

The face in front of her belongs to none other than her ex-boyfriend, Tan Qinghan!

And, to make matters worse, he’s her best friend’s uncle, who just returned from abroad!

Su Yi: “???”

Their breakup hadn’t been pretty, but she never imagined they’d meet again in such an absurd way.

Still, Su Yi doesn’t take the mishap to heart. They’re both adults. These things happen.

But the very next day, her company announces that a senior executive is coming to inspect their work, and that executive turns out to be Tan Qinghan.

Yet he’s all business throughout, distant and aloof. Su Yi secretly breathes a sigh of relief, thinking he doesn’t care about what happened either.

But as soon as they’re alone, Tan Qinghan steps right up to her and kisses her, leaving no room for refusal.

His voice is hoarse and dark with anger.

“Su Yi, if I let you run away from me one more time, I swear I’ll take your last name!”

At a dinner gathering one day, her best friend sees that Su Yi looks unwell and asks with concern, “Is work really that stressful? You look like someone sucked all the life out of you.”

Su Yi’s heart leaps.

Can she really tell? She was just diagnosed with kidney deficiency yesterday.

Her best friend generously offers, “Why not quit? I’ll use my uncle’s money to support you.”

“...”

Su Yi’s mouth twitches. She can’t explain herself.

Money is the least of her worries now. She needs to keep herself alive.

If she keeps indulging every day like this, her kidneys definitely won’t hold up.
