Xu Chi and Duan Zijin have been competing since they were little.
As kids, they competed over grades. As adults, they competed over the size of their family businesses.
Xu Chi has always known that Duan Zijin hates her.
After all, this Miss Duan, so gentle and elegant with everyone else, is decisive and never goes easy on Xu Chi.
And even though the two ended up married by a twist of fate, their relationship didn't improve.
After losing to Duan Zijin yet again, Xu Chi went to a bar to drown her sorrows, got dead drunk, and blacked out.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become a starving little black cat on the verge of death. Duan Zijin rescued her at the last moment and brought her home.
Just as Xu Chi was scheming to take the chance to find her nemesis's weakness, she happened to glimpse a photo of the two of them on the bedside table.
She was wondering if they'd ever taken a photo together when she suddenly heard Duan Zijin say, "I like her."
Xu Chi: Meow?
"I've done so many things, but I still haven't been able to get her attention." Zijin sounded dejected.
"If I want a photo with her, I have to photoshop one, or settle for being in the same frame during a negotiation."
Xu Chi: Meow meow meow?
Was this really why they'd been at each other's throats for all these years???
