A composed, aloof powerhouse from Beijing's elite circles x a bold, decisive, and calculating livestream seller
Powerful man lowering his head + marriage first, love later + a big shot willingly becoming her tool + sweet romance + satisfying payback + the domineering CEO becomes a defeated loser at my feet
Key point: There is absolutely no angst!
Jin Man never imagined that at twenty-seven, she would hit the biggest stumbling block of her career.
Clutching her project proposal, she gathered her courage and knocked on the private room door.
Inside, the room glittered with gold, and the guests raised their glasses in a lively round of toasts.
After hearing why she had come, someone in the room let out a quiet snicker.
Jin Man felt her blood surge. Her gaze happened to drift toward the young man seated at the head of the table, and their eyes met.
His stern face showed no expression, yet his sharp gaze stripped away layer after layer of her disguise.
Jin Man parted her red lips, about to speak, when a deep, magnetic voice rang out:
"Miss, this is the most ridiculous business deal I have ever heard of."

Later, on a rainy night, Jin Man finished drinking with the investors and staggered alone down the street.
Then a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in front of her.
He stood beside a black Cullinan, his tall, upright figure blending into the rainy night like a bold, powerful ink painting.
"Miss Jin, you're drunk."
A smug smile tugged at Jin Man's porcelain-pale, exquisite face. "Chen Mochi, you lost. I secured a hundred thousand in investment tonight."
--
Later still, on a winter morning.
Jin Man, worn out by the previous night's exertions, curled up beneath the blankets. Her long, seaweed-like hair slipped from her smooth, rounded shoulder.
Half asleep, she felt a cool, plain band on the ring finger of her left hand.
She opened her eyes groggily.
Chen Mochi gazed at her with a dark, fervent devotion. His voice was husky but tender. "Manman, you said that businesspeople value keeping their word above all else. You agreed, so you can't go back on it."
Thinking of this "deal" that had cost her herself, Jin Man grew furious and chided him, "Chen Mochi, you really are a crook."

Bonus scene:
Jin Man watched the gifts flooding her livestream: Rocket Carnival, Romantic 999, and Garden. Sweat poured down her face.
As the 365th product link went live and sold out in a second, the viewers reached a fever pitch and shouted, "The streamer is lying! There's nothing to buy!"
A vein bulged on Jin Man's smooth forehead.
She looked at the familiar ID and shouted to the millions of viewers, "Chen Mochi, could you stop sending gifts?!"
At that moment, Chen Mochi's car was parked downstairs from Jin Man's company, its trunk packed full of Jin Man's favorite Juliet roses.
He turned to the secretary beside him and asked, "Why is Manman angry again?"
The secretary: "..."
