Gu Nanqiao is the president's special assistant at the Lu Group, decisive and ruthless at work, and never one to back down.
She thought she could control everything, until on her wedding day, her fiance demanded the bride price back in front of all the guests. "If you don't return it, there won't be a wedding."
She didn't cry or make a scene. She gathered up her skirts and left with her relatives, head held high.
But his mother wouldn't let it go. She went straight to Gu Nanqiao's company and demanded that she cover all the wedding expenses.
President Lu Ze had only one warning for her: "This is the first time, and it had better be the last."
She thought he was just a coldhearted capitalist, using rules to keep people in line.
Until, at a business dinner, she drank herself into a stupor and he was forced to take her home.
Leaning on his shoulder, she sobbed uncontrollably and mumbled, "President Lu, you really are made of stone..."
It was the first time he had seen her let down her guard.
And in all his twenty-odd years, it was the first time he had linked pinkies with a girl. The moment their fingertips touched, his ears turned bright red, and he didn't know what to do with his hands.
She only wanted to sort out the mess and take control of her life again.
But with every "happened to be going the same way" and every "chance encounter," he found himself fixing his gaze on her.
As the Ferris wheel at the amusement park reached its highest point, she looked at him and said, "Happiness only counts when both people are happy."
He lowered his head. "If you want to go on the rides, I'll keep you company."
Gu Nanqiao had no idea that the man who had spent half his life imprisoned by the title of "heir to the Lu Group" was treating her as his only way out.
And Lu Ze had no idea that the girl before him, always smiling as she charged ahead, had already laid a path through his bleak world.
