Quietly stockpiling the entire manuscript...
Real estate heir Liao Fanxing vs. brilliant lawyer He Mu
A power couple climbing to the peak of their careers together
Liao Fanxing had been working diligently on construction sites, taking everything in stride. The night before, she finally found a sliver of free time to lie on a pile of sand and gaze at the stars, even calculating the budget for replacing all the work uniforms. The next day, she was urgently summoned home.
The reason? Her family had found out she was attracted to women. The person who tattled was obviously her biggest rival among her generation of the family. While the previous generation fought among themselves and the family head focused single-mindedly on overhauling the business, the only daughter of the wealthy family was the one who suffered most.
Her standing in the family plummeted. With nowhere else to turn, she went drinking at a bar, where her miserable state led her to sit in the wrong seat. She drank the other woman's carefully mixed drinks, wasting a glass with every sip, and when they tried to kick her out, she hit someone. Somehow, she ended up taking that person home.
After a night of friendly conversation, they each ran off. The only thing she remembered was that the other woman's name was He Mu.
They met again at a blind date.
The blind date her ex-girlfriend introduced her to was the woman she'd shared a passionate night with not long ago.
Now that's a plot twist!
She might as well lean into her playboy ways and turn their one-night stand into an every-night thing.
Her ambition occasionally resurfaced. Seeing an opportunity in having He Mu close at hand, she offered her a hefty fee to serve as legal counsel, helping her gain a foothold in the family's infighting and secure professional support in business battles.
He Mu took the money and did the job. She was swift and decisive, fearless in action, and skilled enough to crack one tough case after another.
Beautiful things always take a turn, and exciting stories always branch off in unexpected directions. After their feelings have been put through the fire, can they remain as they were in the beginning?
Theme: Why only meet at the summit? Isn't it more fun to climb there together?
