Undefined Favoritism

After her divorce, Song Yuchen meets a young guitarist.

The bar is dim, washed in blue light. Slightly tipsy, she gazes toward the stage.

He is tall and handsome, with a faint mole beneath his right eye that gives him an extra touch of allure.

The moment their eyes meet, her heart races.

She teaches him how to apply his first cologne, watching the young man's Adam's apple bob beneath her palm.

She transforms him into someone new, of course, in a way that pleases her, too.

He learns to make her hangover soup, remembers everything she dislikes eating, and even unbuttons his shirt to the exact button she likes.

Later, when her company faces a crisis, she walks away. This relationship was nothing more than a whim, a little project of hers to raise him up.

At the time, she thought they were just a sugar mommy and her boy toy, each getting what they wanted and having a little fun.

Years later, Song Yuchen hears that Meng Jingyu, the hotshot new star of finance, has returned to the country.

He has a razor-sharp eye, and in just a few short years has become the youngest core partner in the world of capital.

Suddenly, everyone is vying for him.

But he goes head-to-head with her, ruthless and decisive, showing her not the slightest mercy.

People say the two of them are at odds.

Who would have thought the media would suddenly reveal that the real reason Meng Jingyu came home was an old first love?

That first love had long since married, but died of a serious illness.

Song Yuchen is so angry she almost laughs. She is Meng Jingyu's first love! What kind of ridiculous nonsense is this?

Furious, she storms over to find Meng Jingyu and bursts in to see him in a meeting with others.

The scene turns awkward, and everyone tactfully leaves.

Meng Jingyu tilts his head and pats his thigh.

Song Yuchen angrily sits on his lap, grabs his tie, and scolds him: "Meng Jingyu! Who is this dead first love of yours?"

His pride lasts barely a few seconds. The moment she comes close, it all vanishes.

The man who was just cold and serious turns into a grinning, clingy puppy, his voice teasing and affectionate.

"Dead first love?"

"She's sitting on my lap right now, very much alive and full of fire."
