Shao Ye, head of the Shao Group, is a ruthless business tycoon who strikes fear into the hearts of everyone around him. Everyone in the industry knows he is vicious and stops at nothing.
There's a saying in their circles: When the young master coughs, the whole business world trembles.
He is ruthless not only to others but also to himself. He abstains from sex and desire, and there has never been a woman by his side.
There are many rumors about him, but he has never appeared in public. He is low-key and mysterious.
To complete an interview assignment, Xu Xingwan sneaks into the Shao residence as a housekeeper.

Xu Xingwan sees Shao Ye's true face in a garage that looks like a car show.
The man leans against a sandstone-white Bentley, a cigarette between his lips, his tie slightly loosened. He looks languid and careless, his gaze unfocused, his profile flawless in the soft light.
Rumor has it that Shao Ye is as fierce-looking as he is ruthless, so Xu Xingwan instinctively assumes the man is a driver for the Shao family.
When he looks at her, she gives him a polite smile. "Hello, I'm the new housekeeper."
The man looks away without responding.
Xu Xingwan awkwardly drops her smile and thinks to herself: Even the driver is this arrogant?
The next second, someone calls out, "President Shao..."
Xu Xingwan: "..."

To get close to Shao Ye and earn a little of his trust, Xu Xingwan works diligently, taking care of every detail and proceeding one step at a time.
Just as the time seems right, Shao Ye comes home one day smelling of alcohol. He corners Xu Xingwan in the entryway, the veins on the back of his hand standing out, his eyes deep as a dark fog. "Who sent you here?"
Terrified and out of her mind with fear, Xu Xingwan worries she might die here and prepares to come clean. "I..."
As she opens her mouth, her voice is swallowed by the smell of alcohol, and pain comes to her lips...
After completing her assignment, Xu Xingwan immediately quits and leaves the Shao residence.
When Shao Ye discovers she's gone, he asks his assistant, A K: "Was she really only here for an interview?"
A K is absolutely certain. "Rest assured, President Shao. She really was only here for an interview."
Shao Ye sneers. "Hmph..."
A K: "?"
