"You and I are made for each other."
In the fourth year of her secret crush on Chen Shenzhou, Jiang Wan finally gets her wish and becomes his personal secretary. She does everything for him, lowering herself to the dirt, until the media catches Chen Shenzhou passionately kissing a supermodel.
On the night of her heartbreak, Jiang Wan, with her dark hair and red lips, goes drinking at a bar.
By chance, she spots a man holding a curvaceous woman in his arms.
Jiang Wan turns and walks away, unaware of the predatory gaze following her.
Early the next morning, Jiang Wan wakes up in an unfamiliar room.
The man leans against the door, a bath towel barely covering him. He licks his lips, his gaze possessive. "You're awake. How was last night?"
Jiang Wan flees in a panic.
But on her first day at her new company, she knocks on her immediate superior's door. Chen Sinian is sitting inside. He smiles at her. "Fancy meeting you again."

Chen Sinian was a celebrated figure at Jiang Wan's university, Chen Shenzhou's younger brother, and the second young master of the Chen Group. But he carried the stain of being an illegitimate child. He was a playboy, free-spirited and wild, always at the center of attention.
Everyone said that getting involved with Chen Sinian was like getting involved with the devil, and that you should stay as far away from him as possible.
That day, at a drinking party, Jiang Wan ran into Chen Shenzhou, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
Rarely did Chen Shenzhou lose control after drinking, but this time he forced Jiang Wan to drink with him.
Jiang Wan bit her lip as tears welled up in secret. A hand gently shielded her from behind.
Chen Sinian smiled recklessly, but his eyes were icy. "Big Brother, if you keep acting like a drunk, I won't hold back."

Chen Sinian closed a long-planned trap and became the true head of the Chen family.
People full of empty flattery came to congratulate him, but the man didn't hear a word. He lounged on the sofa, a cigarette between his fingers, his expression obscured by drifting smoke.
Someone came up to flatter him. "Mr. Chen, you played your cards beautifully. You used that little secretary by Chen Shenzhou's side, and now you've achieved your goal. It's time to kick her to the curb."
From the doorway came the sound of Jiang Wan, distracted, knocking a server's tray to the floor.
The cigarette burned his fingers, but Chen Sinian didn't notice. He kicked aside the man who had offered his advice and rushed out like a madman.
He held Jiang Wan tightly in his arms.
The usually cold and arrogant Chen Sinian had cast aside all his pride. He begged in a humble voice, "Wanwan, please don't leave me, okay?"
Chen Sinian spent ten years plotting every step of the way to take control of the Chen Group and replace Chen Shenzhou. But nobody knew that his carefully laid net had been meant to catch far more than the Chen Group.
All the scheming and careful planning over twelve years had been for one reason: to make Jiang Wan notice him.
