Ice-cold, secretly passionate queen of finance VS Bold, sweet-natured top-tier star actress

1.

Shen Qing, the financial powerbroker revered by the investment banking world, kept a secret for five years.

Xu Wanqiu, a top-tier star actress, was her "caged songbird" in the world of fame and fortune.

For five years, April 1 was the one day each year when the two were sure to meet.

2.

Xu Wanqiu blazed through the world of fame and fortune, daring to take on the powerful and crush petty rivals.

But with Shen Qing, she hid all her sharp edges, acting sweet and obedient just to win a single glance of favor.

Shen Qing, meanwhile, always kept her cool and distant demeanor.

Her brows were frosted over, her gaze unreadable. Whether Xu Wanqiu pouted or threw a fit, drew near or pulled away, she remained unmoved.

3.

On April 1 of the sixth year, Xu Wanqiu had finally had enough of this gentle love from afar.

The corridor at the celebration banquet was bathed in a soft, tangled glow.

Xu Wanqiu moved close to that cool silhouette, her red lips brushing Shen Qing's ear.

"Shen Qing, you spent five years making me famous. Were you trying to keep me for yourself, or were you afraid I'd run away?"

"Or is it that you simply can't perform?"

That night, Xu Wanqiu uncovered Shen Qing's secret.

4.

Three years later, at the red carpet of an international film festival, Xu Wanqiu stood at the pinnacle of fame with the Best Actress trophy in hand.

Jiang Qing, a newly risen financial titan, approached at an unhurried pace and extended an invitation. "Miss Xu, let's get to know each other again. My name is Jiang Qing."

5.

With a new body, she spent three years lying low before reclaiming control of the financial world.

From Shen Qing to Jiang Qing, from death having parted them to meeting again at the top.

All so she could make it to this reunion, three years too late.

Once, I was trapped by my body and too timid in my heart.

Now I stand before you, ready to give you the rest of my life.
