A corrupt, vicious financial tycoon × a dazzling, coquettish financial journalist
[Eight-year age gap + deliberate seduction + powerful man bows his head + intense push and pull + extra sweet]
-
One absurd message exposes her boyfriend's betrayal.
The door to the penthouse suite swings open.
"Here's what you asked for..."
The little box meant for her cheating boyfriend ends up, by a twist of fate, in the hands of the man pulling the strings in Jingbei's financial world.
She is as docile as a cat with no claws.
And just like that, Ruan Ci boldly enters Zhou Linkai's line of sight.
-
The interview is nearing its end in a cool, understated office of luxury.
Ruan Ci glances down at her cue card and asks a personal question.
"Mr. Zhou, as the man pulling the strings at the top of the financial world, do you usually sweet-talk women?"
Zhou Linkai reaches out and switches off her recorder.
His possessiveness grows more uncontrollable by the day,
but his expression remains restrained.
"I can sweet-talk them, but I won't stop."
-
Three years after they parted, a piece of gossip sweeps the internet.
A paparazzi photo shows Zhou Linkai embracing an unfamiliar woman and kissing her passionately on the street.
At the interview, Ruan Ci suppresses her turbulent thoughts and looks straight at him, seeking confirmation.
"Mr. Zhou, are the photos circulating online real?"
Zhou Linkai's gaze bores into her eyes as he replies in a low voice,
"Don't you know, Reporter Ruan? I never do things in a proper, conventional way."
A deliberate seduction that began by accident.
She thinks she's hunting a powerful man and staying one step ahead at every turn.
Little does she know he's been pulling the strings behind the scenes, waiting for her to walk into his trap.
