[Blurb]:

Second chances | Marriage by contract | Reunited from the very first chapter

Unhinged lawyer x fallen heiress

Male lead's perspective:

One day, the internal line in Wen Hong's office at Junyu Law Firm rang for the nth time. "Attorney Wen, there's a Miss Qiao downstairs asking for you."

Wen Hong, owner of Junyu Law Firm, was one of the top lawyers in the industry.

He didn't even raise his eyes. "Do I look like I have time to spare?"

"But she refuses to leave."

Difficult clients were nothing new. Wen Hong had seen it all. "Let her..." He was about to refuse when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a thin figure in the atrium on the first floor.

"Got it. I'll make her leave right away." His assistant understood, and could only sigh inwardly for the pretty girl.

"Wait." Wen Hong stopped him before he could hang up. "Send her up."

The assistant was astonished. Had the sun risen in the west?

Female lead's perspective:

After waiting in vain for Wen Hong, one of the best lawyers in the field, Qiao Yunzheng sighed. She dug her fingernail into the name on his business card, assuming it was just a coincidence. "Figures. Anyone with that name is bound to be a jerk!"

She was just about to leave when someone called out to her: "Attorney Wen is waiting for you in his office."

She carefully pushed open the door. Before she could react, someone seized her wrist, then bit her hard on the neck.

A familiar voice exploded in her ear like muffled thunder. "Does it hurt, Qiao Yunzheng? You owe me this."

The voice said, "If you want me to help you, stay with me." He stared into her startled eyes, drawing out each word. "For. One. Hundred. Days."

Qiao Yunzheng suddenly remembered how, several years ago, amid the spring blossoms, she had first met Wen Hong in a little bar.

He was a man utterly unlike her, uninhibited and flamboyant.

He had said, "Good girl, want to be friends?"

Back then, Qiao Yunzheng was stubborn to the core, but forced herself to stay calm. "Sure! But I'm only staying here for three months."

"After that, find someone else to play with."

//Mutual hunting//A rookie's creative, relentless flirting with the untouchable beauty//

A cold, flirtatious CEO x a sharp-tongued assistant / bickering couple

1. Cen Xia's very first job interview after graduating college went terribly wrong.

It was pouring rain on the day of the interview. A luxury car sped by and splashed her from head to toe with muddy water.

"Have you got no manners?!"

Cen Xia's fingers trembled as she prepared to curse his whole family, when the car window slowly rolled down.

A long, slender hand reached out, holding a phone number between its fingers. "Contact me later about compensation."

Before she could react, the car with its distinctive plate vanished into the rain, leaving only her gritted "Damn it!"

Of course, she failed the interview.

2. The next day, Cen Xia unexpectedly received a job offer. And wouldn't you know it, her boss was that arrogant driver.

Her boss, Lu Zhiyu, was famous for being untouchable: godlike looks, a devil's temper, and even dogs shook their heads at him.

Within days, Cen Xia was being tormented to the point of misery.

So a series of videos titled My Daily Feud with My Oddball Boss quietly appeared on a social media app.

To her surprise, they went viral.

Netizens came up with all kinds of ways for Cen Xia to deal with Lu Zhiyu. One highly liked comment read:

If he's making you suffer at work, make him suffer in love.

Cen Xia thought about Lu Zhiyu's ridiculously handsome face.

Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea?

3. By day, Cen Xia worked like a beast of burden; by night, she vented like crazy. She collected her salary, took advertising gigs, and lived the good life.

Until one afternoon...

She glanced at the short-video app icon on her boss's phone, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Boss, do you... use short-video apps too?"

"No." Those two icy syllables put her completely at ease.

As soon as she left the office, Lu Zhiyu lowered his eyes and sent the message he'd finished typing:

So, did the blogger's plan to win me over succeed?
