The Queen and Her Little Wolfdog Stepdaughter

Qi Yan is the queen of the fashion world, a woman everyone respects and fears.

With an iron fist and impeccable taste, she climbed from the bottom to the top and founded her own fashion empire.

Love was the one inefficient investment she'd rejected, including her brilliant stepdaughter, Lin Yue, who was always at odds with her.

Lin Yue is rebellious, brilliant, and talented. She's the most beautiful thorn in Qi Yan's business empire and the only crack in her family life.

Between them lies a frozen riverbed, a silent battlefield.

Until a car accident shattered their past.

The hospital lights were stark white.

Twenty-six-year-old Lin Yue woke up with no memories.

She forgot their arguments, the betrayals, all the cold routines of the past.

Yet the very first time she saw Qi Yan, her heart skipped a beat.

Iris-blue hair framed her pale face. Her large eyes, once filled with hostility, were now clear and focused.

She took Qi Yan's hand and murmured softly,

"You're so beautiful... Do I... like you a lot?"

That amnesiac "confession" was like a stone dropped into still water,

Sending ripples through the unshakable world Qi Yan had carefully built over thirty-eight years.

Later, the entire fashion world witnessed an astonishing sight:

The stepdaughter who had once been at daggers drawn with Qi Yan became the clingiest little sidekick at the queen's side after losing her memory.

She sent roses, staged surprise visits, and even announced publicly at a business dinner, "I'm pursuing Qi Yan."

Everyone waited for a joke, for Lin Yue to regain her memories, for the queen to freeze her out completely.

But what they saw instead was Qi Yan making exception after exception for her, softening again and again, and even sheltering her behind her back when rivals made their move.
