Everyone knew that Qi Yuan kept his distance from women. He was ruthless and decisive at the negotiating table, only added work contacts on WeChat, and required even his personal assistant to report his private schedule three days in advance.

Only she knew that one brief glimpse six years ago had kept her thinking about him for more than two thousand days and nights.
To get close to him, she studied at Tsinghua University, majored in finance, and plunged into the entertainment industry.
After finally winning a chance to work with him, she thought she'd have the advantage of being close by.
But President Qi kept things strictly professional, even having his assistant pass along WeChat messages.
Li Shuyao: Fine, so you want to keep your distance? I'll find a way in!

Only Qi Yuan knew that from the moment she appeared, the defenses he'd so carefully built had already begun to crumble.
