When they met again, Zhou Sinian was the self-disciplined and refined Zhou X Director, with a well-matched fiancée by his side. Five years ago, at their first meeting, Zhou Wang, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "I heard you're quite expensive." Su Jin tilted her head and smiled, "Young Master Zhou, you're not cheap either." "Playing with me? Can you afford it?" Later, he squatted down in front of her, looking up at her, his peach blossom eyes reddening, "Do you think I can't live without you?" She smiled, looking down, "If I'm not your first choice, then I'll never be." In front of his brothers, he lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand: "Woof." The most precious heir in Beijing was tamed by her like a dog. But she didn't know that he was willingly ensnared. Five years later, the faded red string on her wrist was tied by him while she was asleep. He gripped her wrist, his knuckles turning white: "What exactly do you want?" She pulled her hand away and stood up: "Director Zhou, don't flatter yourself. I only came back for money." Thirty-year-old Su Jin didn't date or rely on men; she held connections across half of Beijing and a business worth two hundred million. She had calculated how to escape unscathed, calculated how to make him hate her to the bone, but she hadn't calculated that five years later, those peach blossom eyes still held a mixture of hatred and love, unable to do anything about her. Later, Zhou Sinian pinned her against the French windows, his eyes red-rimmed: "You didn't look back when you left, and you shouldn't look back when you come back, but why did you let me see you?" She pushed his face away: "Your fiancée is waiting for you downstairs." He laughed, a laugh that was both manic and broken.

    #Looking for a cunning and ambitious female lead who climbs the social ladder step by step—the kind who initially endures hardship but awakens after being bullied to the bottom, using her brains instead of relying on men to turn the tables! The female lead must have a growth arc, not the kind of wish-fulfillment story where she's overpowered from the start. Su Nian in the book is like that—after being slapped, she calmly calls the police, uses the Civil Code to send her awful relative to jail, and after the divorce, she doesn't linger or look back, relying on herself to gradually rise up. Not a naive and innocent character! Not a love-struck fool! The kind of character whose triumphant turnaround makes you exclaim, "Wow, she's so cool!"
