Down-on-his-luck entrepreneur x glamorous reporter
*
With one report, Jian Yuan brought down Huo Zhinian's unicorn, valued at six billion yuan.
After that, she gained both fame and fortune, and her career soared.
No one knew how many threats and attempts at intimidation she had endured from Huo Zhinian's company just to get that report published.
When bodyguards cornered her by the roadside, snatched her folder and voice recorder, and left her with blood running down her legs, she saw Huo Zhinian's handsome, icy face.
From that moment on, Jian Yuan hated Huo Zhinian with all her heart.
Later, Jian Yuan ran into Huo Zhinian.
On a smoky, foggy night, in the back alley of a bar, Jian Yuan looked at her as if she were a stray dog with nowhere to go.
"Look at you, the big CEO, unable to afford even two drinks."
Jian Yuan gave her a teasing smile.
She bent down and lifted Huo Zhinian's chin with a finger. "Hey, Huo Zhinian."
"I'll take care of you. What do you say?"

Only heaven knew how much Jian Yuan hated Huo Zhinian's false face.
She didn't know how to cry, smile, feel fear, or feel lonely.
No matter how Jian Yuan played with her, she was like a dog that couldn't be tamed.
Later, once Jian Yuan had had her fun, she planned to leave Huo Zhinian and enjoy the rest of her life.
But then one day, Huo Zhinian grabbed Jian Yuan by the collar and slammed her against the door.
The woman who never lost control kissed her with red-rimmed eyes, her teeth splitting Jian Yuan's lip as tears fell one by one.
"Jian Yuan," she said, gripping Jian Yuan's waist tightly. "You said you'd take care of me."
"Why don't you want me anymore?"
Jian Yuan licked the blood from her lips and suddenly changed her mind.
Driving this woman to the edge, stripping away her poise, making her tremble all over...
That honest face, flushed and streaked with tears, was something Jian Yuan adored.
