Gu Pan is beautiful, charming, and good with words. She's still young, yet already a company vice president.
Everyone says she got ahead by clinging to married older men, and she's notorious in the industry as a professional homewrecker.
Then, at a business networking event, someone points at Gu Pan and calls her a homewrecker.
Among those present are her subordinates, friends, and admirers, yet not one of them steps forward to defend her.
But Cheng Xingzhi, the haughty, aloof heir to the Cheng Group, rumored to have no interest in women, slips a sparkling diamond ring onto Gu Pan's ring finger in front of everyone.
As the crowd stares in shock, Cheng Xingzhi puts an arm around Gu Pan and says nonchalantly, "I'm tall, handsome, long-legged, and rich. With a husband like me, my wife isn't blind. She wouldn't go for someone else's balding old man."
Then he turns to Gu Pan with a gentle expression and a doting tone. "Mrs. Cheng, remember to wear your wedding ring from now on."

Xiang Yang is famously obedient. She's always listened to her parents, and even when they arranged a marriage for her, she didn't resist.
With her wedding date approaching, Xiang Yang lets loose for once and goes to a bachelorette party with her friends, drinking to her heart's content.
When she wakes up, a handsome young man is lying beside her.
His features are exquisite, and he has a languid, satisfied look. Holding her around the waist, he says casually, "That was my first time. You have to take responsibility for me."
Back home, Xiang Yang uses the fact that she slept with someone else as a reason to call off her engagement to her well-born fiance.
Her family unanimously objects. "Who was the man you slept with? Give him some money and make him keep quiet."
"I'm afraid that's not possible," Xiang Yang says evenly. "He's my fiance's boss, Gu Shiyan, the heir to the Gu Group."
Her family falls silent at once.
After the engagement is called off, Gu Shiyan corners Xiang Yang at a banquet, trying to declare his claim on her in front of everyone.
But she brushes his hand away and smiles. "I didn't call off my engagement so I could be with you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Shiyan, heir to the Gu Group, has strikingly handsome features. He's also said to be a brilliant student who skipped several grades. At just twenty-two, he has already earned a master's degree in finance from Beishi University.
Women flock to him in droves, but he has no interest in any of them and tells them all to get lost.
Until, at a certain banquet, everyone sees this heir, who supposedly has no interest in women, humbly trying to please a woman who's just had her engagement called off.
Someone exclaims in shock, "So Mr. Gu likes discarded women?"
Someone else cuts in, "Look at them. It's obvious Mr. Gu is the one who's been discarded."
Everyone thought Gu Shiyan got into Beishi University at seventeen because he was exceptionally smart.
Only he knew that he had earned it by giving up all his free time and studying through the night without sleep.
Later, Xiang Yang learns the truth and asks him why he pushed himself so hard.
Gu Shiyan looks at her, his eyes burning like a flame, his gaze fervent. "I was born five years after you. If I don't work hard to make up for those five years, I might never catch up to you in this lifetime."
#The leads are evenly matched#
#Whoever falls first loses#
A female lead who's a little bunny on the surface but secretly a schemer, x a dark, devoted puppy of a male lead
Theme: If you like someone, keep at it. If you work hard, your wishes will come true.
Why is it the finance manager who goes out to discuss orders? It's hard to explain.
What is the relationship between Jiang Xing and the male protagonist? Childhood sweetheart? A little closer, right? Or am I mistaken, sister?
I just finished watching Wife Control and wanted to check if the author had written about Gu Pan's story, but I found it.
Is there really such blatant yin and yang in the real workplace? It seems strange to have a heart attack. What company can I go to with such a strong working ability?
This red-haired man has such a bad mouth
Do you need to be slapped at work? Get a job in exchange for a slap? No matter what, I just slapped the heroine twice, smiled, explained, and poured soy milk on her face. I was so confused. I personally think she is a bit holy.
Why didn't the heroine recognize the hero? Did she not know him before?
There is no sweet extra story!!!?
That's not the way to speak outright and without any malice. The heroine thinks that such a friend who is outspoken and outspoken is really stupid.
? To be honest, I always felt that the heroine's behavior in these two chapters didn't quite fit.
