Victoria Harbour shines with lights, but some people are destined to walk through the night.
Until one day, the girl who had grown up in the spotlight came running after her, holding up her skirt.
Down-on-her-luck heiress × power broker to the wealthy
I
Rong Lingyi first met Shen Fangyuan at her father’s funeral.
She had just finished a haughty interview with the media, then turned around and hid somewhere out of sight to cry.
When she got into the car without looking, she crashed straight into a stranger’s arms.
The woman was strikingly beautiful, yet wore a plain black suit and spoke with polished courtesy.
“Hello, Miss Rong. I was your father’s personal assistant.”
Rong Lingyi looked at her face, then at her figure, and immediately went on alert.
“I know every personal assistant my Daddy has had. Who exactly are you?”
II
Before she turned twenty-five, Shen Fangyuan had drifted through the streets of Macau with no one to rely on.
After thirty, she had become one of the most sought-after power brokers in Hong Kong.
The thing she was best at was taking money to get things done, then walking away once the job was over.
But before he died, Rong Jingshan left her the most troublesome job of her life.
“Take good care of my daughter.”
At first, Shen Fangyuan thought it would be simple enough to protect a sheltered heiress.
Only later did she realize she had kept the girl safe.
But she herself hadn’t managed to walk away unscathed.
