The Xie family was one of the country’s most prominent and powerful families. As the heir, Xie Mobai knew that he would eventually take over the family conglomerate. His forceful parents had mapped out his life for him, and the path ahead was clear, but he couldn’t accept it without a fight.
Born in a small county town, Lin Xi escaped the family she grew up in, where sons were valued above daughters. By a twist of fate, she joined Guochang Group. The corporate world was full of danger, every colleague had their own agenda, and her superiors kept the pressure on.
Fortunately, the future boss, Mr. Xie, was capable and handsome, and repeatedly came to her aid. At least Lin Xi felt that her future at work might hold some promise.
Lin Xi knew that Xie Mobai was distant and aloof. When a pretty female employee deliberately pretended to fall in order to get close to him, he fired her without hesitation. But when Lin Xi saw Xie Mobai on the verge of collapse under his parents’ pressure, she couldn’t bring herself to stand by and do nothing.
She couldn’t bear to watch a fine jade tree fall and a priceless gem gather dust. So she took his long, cool hand in hers.
Xie Mobai looked up in astonishment. He never expected that affection would slowly grow from that moment, and that their lives would become intertwined...

One is a young CEO suddenly forced to take over the family business. The other is a new female assistant who has just switched jobs. But they are faced with both internal and external threats!
Within the group, veteran executives obstruct them at every turn, trying to seize power. Outside, business rivals bribe insiders and repeatedly gain the upper hand in the competition.
This “ill-fated couple,” Xie Mobai and Lin Xi, can only rely on each other, work in perfect sync, and use their wits to escape danger time and again, even turning the tables on their enemies!
They take on the old guard and investigate the spies. Just as their careers are thriving, romantic troubles quietly arrive...
They can neither move forward nor bear to let go. Will she and he join hands and face the future together, or forget each other and go their separate ways?

The hall was ablaze with lights, and the guests glittered in their finery. As Xie Mobai’s assistant, Lin Xi accompanied him to a grand business banquet. There, she met the fiancée she had heard so much about. Yang Chuying was a perfect match for him, graceful and charming, and she could also provide considerable support to Guochang.
Though Lin Xi knew perfectly well that she and Xie Mobai were unlikely to have a happy ending, she couldn’t help feeling a pang of jealousy.
On the way back, Xie Mobai leaned over, his strong arms pinning Lin Xi to her seat. His features were handsome and refined, his eyes dark and expressive, reflecting a thousand emotions, with only Lin Xi’s image in his pupils. “I’m not afraid of you getting angry. I’m afraid you don’t care at all.”
In the cramped car, their faces were almost touching, their breaths mingling. Lin Xi could smell the faint incense, agarwood, the scent of Xie Mobai.
She saw Xie Mobai’s Adam’s apple tremble slightly and heard his hoarse voice. “As long as it makes you happy, you can chase away every flirtatious woman who tries to get close to me. I told you, I don’t mind.”
Xie Mobai sat back in his seat, his gaze lowered.
Lin Xi, you are a beam of light illuminating my dim, colorless life. All my pain and struggles were for the sake of meeting you in this life. Between us, as long as you’re willing to reach out your hand, I can walk the remaining hundred steps on my own.
Set in a fictional modern world, with business intrigue and romance. The male and female leads take their careers seriously while falling in love sweetly!

Upcoming story: historical romance, Phoenix Dances Over the Capital
Wang Yao, a woman who transmigrated and was toyed with by fate, becomes trapped in the palace and joins hands with a young chief councilor.
Wang Yao transmigrated.
This was a fascinating era.
The former emperor had “studied abroad” on the grasslands and ascended the throne twice.
The current emperor was devoted to a consort eighteen years his senior. What a legendary love story for the ages.
So romantic, so touching!
Wang Yao gave up.
After transmigrating to this era, Wang Yao was in tears. After living a peaceful, happy life for more than a decade, she discovered she hadn’t become the consort!
Nor had she become some random passerby!
By some cruel twist of fate, she had become the current emperor’s official empress, a thorn in the consort’s side!
The palace was full of danger, and the consort targeted her at every turn, always ready to take her place.
Wang Yao didn’t want to put up with it anymore!
Her life hung by a thread, and she drifted like duckweed on the water. Wang Yao silently thought of the most overused saying of all: My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven’s!
She didn’t want to be empress anymore. She wanted to go straight to becoming empress dowager!
Lin Qingshui had come first in all three imperial examinations. Not only was he elegant and handsome, with a wealth of literary talent, he was also the youngest official ever to enter the Grand Secretariat since the founding of the dynasty.
His future had been bright, but when the emperor was captured beyond the frontier, Lin Qingshui was the one who saved the collapsing state and turned the tide.
After the northern invaders withdrew, however, Lin Qingshui was stabbed in the back by a fellow disciple. He had no choice but to assess the situation, retreat to the countryside, and lie low.
He secretly built up his strength and maneuvered the pieces on the political chessboard.
He never expected that Wang Yao, the “girl” he had met once years ago, would gradually enter his sights and leave a vivid mark on his life.
Years later, his trusted aide and favorite student cautiously asked, “Chief Councilor, why do you keep yielding so much in court?”
Lin Qingshui smiled without answering. Holding his teacup, he fell into thought, Wang Yao’s image repeatedly appearing in his mind.
The man leaning against his seat was effortlessly charming and dazzling. He said lightly, “I’ll hand over the realm to win her favor.”
Theme: Love life, and find happiness in both love and career
Why did it suddenly develop like this? It hasn't been washed there, ahhhhhh 🥺
Has Mr. Lin helped Mr. Xie???? Ah!!!! Help?, So embarrassing
Now, it's almost 300 chapters. It's good to read, especially the part about corporate structure and business, but I can't help but have the feeling that the faces of Xie Mobai and Lin Xi are still very blurry, and their characters are too confusing, especially the emotional scenes. After more than 200 chapters, I still can't see that they have any strong emotions. First of all, Xie is the heir to a large family. It is said that he knows how to use human nature and strategize. Such a character must have a very stable core and a strong mind. How can such a person suffer from depression? Every time when I analyze the inner world of the character Xie, I always feel that he is not grounded enough. His character seems to have a little bit of everything but no shortcomings, so his overall appearance does not feel as vivid as that of a character like Zhou Yu. Secondly, there is Lin Xi. The article always writes that she is free and easy, but shouldn't free and easy girls dare to love and hate? Moreover, this chapter also said that she enjoys love very much, so why did it take so long for her to ignite a small spark of emotion? Both of her previous exes calmly entered the relationship when the feelings came up. Why was she able to remain idle for so long? She should be the kind of girl who can balance career and love (or sex life) well. I rarely even wrote about her feelings for Xie. If she really had feelings for her, there would actually be a lot of details to write about, but after more than two hundred chapters, such details can be rarely mentioned. I don't think the commercial part and the emotional drama part are incompatible.
The ending is so boring. Why didn't you write about marriage and after marriage?
When will the second part be released? Can't wait
Damn, when will the second part be released?
Can people who have slept with each other and had an intimate relationship really still be friends after a breakup?
Suddenly the emotional drama becomes very strange, let's write about the career line. No matter Xie, Zhou or Lin, their dialogues don't feel like love.
Isn't He Ruolin a boy? Why does the whole chapter become "her"?
