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. 15

    The male lead's character is quite amusing; he's a bit eccentric and cheeky, but he's incredibly reliable when it counts. It's rare to see this kind of "cheeky" male lead. The female lead was originally a female bandit who accidentally impersonates a county magistrate, but she operates entirely differently from the rules of officialdom. Ruthless and taciturn, she sets her sights on the county's unscrupulous lawyer, who is also the male lead. She fights evil with evil, turning him into her advisor and laborer; their relationship is a love-hate one.
