Yu Sheng hated Chu Tongyu with all her heart.
She was the one who said she loved her first, and she was also the one who ended things without warning, as if she'd never loved her at all.
Yu Sheng thought they would never meet again in this lifetime, but the first project she took over after returning to China was for Chu Tongyu's company.
The first thing Chu Tongyu said to her after they reunited was, "I'm sorry."
Yu Sheng sneered. "Don't say you're sorry. You disgust me."
Watching Chu Tongyu lower her head and meekly beg for a partnership, Yu Sheng finally found an outlet for all her pent-up feelings. She swore she would reclaim every bit of the dignity she'd lost and make Chu Tongyu pay a hundredfold for all the pain she'd suffered.
"You want to work together? Fine."
"Be my assistant for three months. I'll do whatever I want to you."
"If you won't accept, get lost."
Chu Tongyu accepted the terms.
Yu Sheng summoned her and dismissed her at will. Chu Tongyu accepted it all and kept her head down.
Until one day at a dinner, the other party's representative let his gaze linger on Chu Tongyu, greed and ill intent showing in his eyes.
Yu Sheng told Chu Tongyu to stay. At last, the assistant who had always put up with everything had tears in her eyes:
"Do you really hate me that much?"
The time Chu Tongyu spent with Yu Sheng was the closest she'd ever come to happiness.
She thought she could stay with Yu Sheng for the rest of her life, but when their relationship was discovered, she had no choice but to leave her in the most humiliating way possible.
When they met again, Yu Sheng was the client and Chu Tongyu the contractor. Between them lay not only a contract, but hatred born of loving too deeply.
She thought that working as Yu Sheng's assistant for three months would at least let her be a little closer to her.
Even when Yu Sheng poured out the coffee she'd made, tore up her proposal, made unreasonable personal demands, or said cruel things again and again to humiliate her, Chu Tongyu accepted it all.
But it wasn't until Yu Sheng pushed her toward someone else that Chu Tongyu realized they could never go back...
