At the final round of the annual branding campaign pitch, Shang Zhit tao, a rising founder from Ice City, leads her team into the competition. She looks up and meets the gaze of the man seated at the head of the table.
The man is Luan Nian, the legendary creative director at Lingmei Advertising, famous in the industry for his ruthless decisiveness and refusal to yield. He was also her former boss, and the ex she hasn't spoken to in six years.
Everyone expects to see the newcomer get shut down. Instead, the two go head-to-head, each proposal matching the other point for point, from creative concepts to pricing. The pitch meeting turns into a battle of titans.
No one knows that after the meeting, Luan Nian corners her in the underground parking garage, clutching the hair tie she left behind six years ago as he calls her name in a hoarse voice.
No one knows that for six years, he has pored over every one of her acclaimed campaigns, watching her rise from intern to owner, waiting for her to reach his level.
Later, rumors sweep the industry that Director Luan went so far to beat his rival, he even put himself on the line.
Only Shang Zhit tao knows that in the hallway at the celebration banquet, the man pins her against the wall and speaks in a voice low as a coaxing whisper. "The account is yours, and so am I. Will you come back?"
