[Blurb]
The Li family has fallen on hard times, her younger sister is naive and inexperienced, and her timid boyfriend has broken up with her.
After returning to the country, Li Shuxin finds that life at rock bottom is just as bad as it gets.
As everyone avoids her, a black Cullinan pulls to a stop in front of her. The window rolls down to reveal the face she least wants to see.
Xu Yeheng says calmly, "I can help you, but there's one condition."
No one understands why Xu Yeheng would help a woman who once rejected him, let alone offer her a position as his personal secretary, right by his side.
Some people joke that he must be into some kind of unusual kink.
Li Shuxin does her job well. She's capable and keeps to herself.
In her third year as Xu Yeheng's secretary, she submits her resignation.
Xu Yeheng asks, "Why?"
She says, "I'm tired of it. I want a different job."
Xu Yeheng nods. "All right."
Early the next morning, Li Shuxin is woken by a phone call.
Xu Yeheng tells her to come downstairs.
Down below, he stands tall, repeatedly checking his watch. "Hurry up."
Li Shuxin looks bewildered. "What are we doing?"
"The Civil Affairs Bureau opens at eight, and I have a meeting at nine," Xu Yeheng says. "If we leave now, we'll have just enough time to get our marriage certificate."
- He's pretending to hire a secretary, but what he really wants is to make you Mrs. Xu.
- The years when you didn't look my way were the darkest of my life.
