1.
Before the last torrential downpour of late autumn hit Qizhou, Zhang Youxiao was pinned to the ground and beaten mercilessly by Fu Jianian, every punch landing hard.
When the rain grew heavier, they got back into the car.
Clutching a wet wipe, Zhang Youxiao bowed his head and cleaned the dirt off Fu Jianian's white trousers.
A tall figure stood outside the car window, there to pick Fu Jianian up.
Zhang Youxiao looked even more sour than he had while being beaten. "At a time like this, you actually called him to come get you?"
Fu Jianian looked at him coldly. Zhang Youxiao ground his back teeth, then could only unlock the car door.
Because the person standing outside was none other than Fu Jianian's fiance.
2.
In his first month in Qizhou, Zhang Youxiao heard all about Fu Jianian, the next heir to the Fu family, the pillar of Qizhou's business world, and her perfect public image.
Elegant and considerate, gentle and generous, she was the model heir and the untouchable dream girl of their circle.
Before he even met her, he heard the gentle dream girl putting on a vicious, cutting performance.
Zhang Youxiao suddenly understood: Qizhou's dream girl was an award-winning actress.
3.
When Zhang Youxiao saw Fu Jianian standing outside his office building in his scarf, he felt dazed, as if he had returned from California to Qizhou.
His lover, separated from him just as they had fallen in love, had suddenly appeared, arriving in time for the five o'clock sunset in California.
As the red light flashed through its final ten seconds, Zhang Youxiao leaned in and kissed her.
Whether Fu Jianian was happy or unhappy, kissing her was always the best choice.
The competitive Miss Fu always liked to challenge him in secret while they kissed, but today she was quiet, almost docile, only responding slowly and steadily.
When the light turned green, Fu Jianian looked into his eyes, her warm, moist lips still close to his.
She said, "Let's chase the sunset."
Zhang Youxiao thought she might have learned something.
So Miss Fu's knight-in-shining-armor complex kicked in, and she felt sorry for him.
This time, they raced down California's Highway One not for the thrill of being alive.
They did it for the fading light in the eyes of the one he loved.
Zhang Youxiao: A frivolous, carefree, unambitious man who throws himself at people.
Fu Jianian: A career-driven businesswoman and CEO, an award-winning actress with no room in her heart for love.
Also known as The CEO and Her Dog.
Roughly equal parts romance and plot, with more plot early on and more romance later.
■ An unconventional CEO romance, both leads are each other's first.
Before you read:
1. In my opinion, the male lead is not as strong as the female lead in any area, so there isn't much of the man doting on the woman. They beat each other up before getting together, then dote on each other afterward. The CEO can solve every problem on her own, except for the matter of loving her dog.
2. The leads' dynamic shifts between [Two Strong Leads] and [Strong Female Lead, Weaker Male Lead]. The dog isn't especially weak either; he just has no ambition in his career.
3. All the business plotlines serve the romance and characterization. Don't scrutinize them too closely: they won't be explored in depth, and this isn't a strictly realistic business story.
4. Both leads have flaws, and one is even more flawed than the other; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to fight. This is a romance about imperfect characters, so don't judge them.
5. In the whole world, the dog loves the CEO most, and the CEO loves the dog most.
Theme: I will love every part of you.
