Clear-headed investment banker vs. sharp-tongued business tycoon secretly in love
Ten years after their fake friendship fell apart, at a blind date
Cheng Xiaoxiao, an investment banker grinding away at work, runs into Lu Xiaoshan, a successful business tycoon worth hundreds of millions.
Cheng Xiaoxiao: Mr. Lu, would you mind taking an IQ test?
Lu Xiaoshan's face was as cold as ice. He said nothing, staring at Cheng Xiaoxiao for a long while.
What happened after the blind date: she somehow gets dragged into a business rivalry at Lu Xiaoshan's company
Cheng Xiaoxiao: Mr. Lu, could you pay my appearance fee?
Lu Xiaoshan: It was just a business rivalry. It won't happen again.
Later, the unapproachable CEO Lu suddenly starts making advances
Cheng Xiaoxiao, looking suspicious: Mr. Lu, is there... something you can't talk about in that department?
Lu Xiaoshan's face instantly darkened.
A love that never wavers, a secret crush come true
Lu Xiaoshan: Cheng Xiaoxiao, you're the first, and the only one.
From beginning to end, it's only ever been you.

Song You transmigrates.
After working overtime until midnight, she wakes up as Mrs. Lu, a wealthy madam!
She has the same name and looks, but everything about her identity and life is completely different!
One night's sleep, and she has a husband and a son!
Her husband, Lu Shanhe, is supposedly a titan of the business world, the kind of man who could topple a row of companies with one stomp!
Her son, Lu Ling, is a handsome boy with a sharp tongue and a soft heart, a top student and the kind of kid other people's parents brag about!
Overworked office drone Song You:
Isn't this the life I've always dreamed of?
A wealthy madam:
No need to worry about a husband
No need to give birth to a son
Money to spend however you like
As long as you don't do anything reckless, you can do whatever you want
Perfect!
But just a few days later, her bargain-bin husband, Lu Shanhe, comes home. His sculpted face is full of icy disdain as he tosses her a document.
"Sign it."
Song You stares at the big characters at the top, a little bewildered.
Divorce agreement?
She looks once, then again, and Song You feels miserable!
Divorce, fine, but...
What about the assets?
What about alimony?
Is President Lu planning to seduce her, abandon her, and then refuse to take responsibility?
Holding the agreement, Song You smiles.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Shanhe looks up, his voice cold and hard.
"Isn't this what you wanted?"
As he speaks, a stack of photographs lands on the table.
Song You stares at the photos scattered across the table, dumbfounded.
What is going on?
Her predecessor cheated!?!?
Why would anyone cheat when they had this perfect life?
Song You's heart skips a beat. She has a vague feeling that this scene is familiar.
A moment later, she remembers.
Isn't this a scene from that wealthy-family romance novel she flipped through before working overtime?
When the male lead was young, his mother grew tired of life as a wealthy madam, abandoned her husband and son, and ran off with an old flame!
And, by pure coincidence, the male lead's mother was also named Song You!
Song You searches her memories carefully. Things shouldn't have reached the point of no return yet.
Steadying herself, she decides to save her marriage before it falls apart completely.
"Those photos were taken from an angle that makes it look that way."
She picks up the photos and sits down in front of Lu Shanhe, holding her ground.
"Lu Shanhe, let's talk."
Later on,
they do stay married, and she gets to shop and lounge around as much as she likes, but...
Song You is starting to regret it!
Especially when the supposedly ascetic older man, Lu Shanhe, loosens his tie, undoes his cufflinks, and pins her down to "reason things out" at his own leisurely pace!
Song You thinks she really underestimated him!
Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations and forge ahead
Finished spreading flowers!!! I still have a little doubt, why did Xiaoxiao and Mr. Lu break up at that time? Did the two misunderstand what the other said?
Damn, it's really rare for a heroine to feel Xiaoshan at the end.
When I finished posting the last chapter, the author was on the highway and suddenly heard the familiar lyrics: I am still the same boy as before, without any change, time is just a test... What a wonderful accident (^v^)
I'm too busy with the three-dimensional work, and due to my health, I haven't spared the energy to type. I'll post more intermittently when I'm free, and I'll try to finish it before May Day.
