The Kind-Hearted God

[Radiant, laid-back analyst x languid, cold-blooded powerbroker]

[Long-planned scheme | Rekindled romance]

1.

When they first met, the young man stood amid blood and grime before a crumbling wall. Yet the glance he cast her was cool and piercing. Zhu Taofu knew then that even though Liang Yizhan, once the darling of the heavens, had fallen after losing a power struggle within his wealthy family, he would eventually return to the top. A rich scion like him and an illegitimate daughter from a humble family like her were worlds apart.

So he disappeared without a word after she graduated from high school, then went overseas the day after she came of age and they got engaged. She took it all in stride, because they were parallel lines that would never meet.

Now that he had returned, she decided to let go and leave of her own accord.

The Liang Group's new head is young, distinguished, and cold-hearted, showing no mercy as he cleans house within the family. His biological father lies half-dead in the hospital, and his older brother has been driven out of the company in disgrace. The wealthy are all speculating that his undisclosed fiancée will be the next to suffer.

But instead of his usual ruthless tactics, he spends a fortune rescuing a fledgling club on the verge of bankruptcy, and even shows up in person, apparently quite entertained.

The league is naturally deferential and on high alert, but he turns down a personal interview and graciously takes a seat at the post-match group interview instead.

The usually bold, nosy media play it safe and ask carefully, "There's a rumor that the Liang Group, an established powerhouse, is investing in a new team as an act of charity. What do you think?"

Glancing at the woman beside him, Liang Yizhan drawls, "What do you think, bless?"

Zhu Taofu, the new beauty analyst known as bless, is praised for her "stroke of genius" in tactical planning, turning the tide and bringing her team back from the brink. She can talk at length about complicated matches, but when faced with this simple question, she unusually lowers her eyes and stays silent.

As soon as she leaves the arena, he corners her in the lounge and kisses her hard and deep. He claims that since she won't make their relationship public, it's only fair for him to sneak a little affection from her.

She has to wear a mask to hide the red marks from his bites, while the lingering pain at the corner of her mouth still burns.

Zhu Taofu: "..."

The moment Liang Yizhan first saw Zhu Taofu, he knew he had her figured out: she was slender and soft, and her heart was softer still.

He had once grabbed her by the throat in a classroom during the day, making her tremble with fear. Yet on a rainy Ghost Festival night, she still reached out to help him, saying, "Don't become a lonely ghost." Even when she left after their engagement, her reason was so calm and gentle: "The fortune stick drew a bad lot. The gods disapprove."

On the day the team won the championship, fans flooded the Liang Group's official account with comments, saying the team had gone from the brink of bankruptcy to the top of the world thanks to the big boss's financial support.

Fan: "Chairman Liang, you're amazing! Thanks to our softhearted god of wealth!"

Faced with everyone's lavish praise, the company responded simply.

@Liang Group: Happy coronation, my god. @bless

[Fortunate to be shown mercy by a softhearted god.]

[Ever since I met you, life has been nothing but lucky draws.]

Theme: There is true affection in this world
