SC | HE | From lovers to a couple
The day the plagiarism lawsuit was won, Cheng Yan and his team finally celebrated in style.
The incident had boosted the profile of the games made by their studio, multiplied their revenue, and left them with a bright future ahead.
Everyone offered heartfelt thanks to the key person who had helped them win: their lawyer, Ji Ting.
Ji Ting raised her glass with a smile. "No need to thank me. I've already been paid."
As they drank and toasted one another, everyone assumed she meant her legal fees.

That night.
Cheng Yan sat at the head of the bed, staring intently at Ji Ting as she dressed at the foot of it.
"In such a hurry to go back to Nancheng?"
Ji Ting pulled up her shirt, covering her pale shoulders and back. "This case dragged on for too long. My dad has already chased me about it twice. He has other cases he wants me to take over."
Cheng Yan watched her curls sway. "What are we to each other now?"
"Didn't I already answer that last time?" Ji Ting looked back at him, languid and alluring. "I'm getting married, Mr. Cheng."
What had she said last time?
A fleeting affair. Not lovers, just friends.
Cheng Yan glanced at the suggestive marks on her shoulders and collarbone, then gave a self-mocking laugh.
"Friends."
In secret, they held each other close and tangled together, sharing every kind of intimacy.
Then, when he became an inconvenience to her, she kicked him aside without mercy.
Leaving him with a single line: "We're just friends."
There is only one character's difference between lover and partner, but the meanings are worlds apart.
He had been the former, but wanted more than anything to be the latter.

A story about two heirs whose paths cross out of sync.
"Whatever we are, it's up to you."
SC, HE. The male lead has only ever been with the female lead, in every sense.
