Eastern beauty (illegitimate daughter) X refined businessman (master of the art of seduction)
In Harbor City, there is a Chinese-style teahouse called Misty Rain.
In a place where every inch of land is worth a fortune, the proprietress struggles to make ends meet, yet opens her doors to only one person.
Her friend can't help reminding her, "He's been here so many times, and still doesn't know you."
Lin Shao shakes her head. "It doesn't matter."
Ying Huaishan is a man at the very top of his ivory tower, surrounded by noise and bustle.
She knows her place. She isn't trying to make him know her; she just wants to give him somewhere peaceful. So, after serving the tea, she always slips away without another word.
Until one tea gathering, his gaze falls on the fingertips she has scalded red. He takes a handkerchief from his breast pocket and offers it to her. "Are you alright?"
Then he looks up and asks in Mandarin that is not quite fluent, "Miss Lin, are you hurt?"

Everyone calls them soulmates, but no one believes in a friendship that crosses class boundaries.
Lin Shao thinks so too.
Until a newspaper article appears, titled "Interview with Business Magnate Ying Huaishan: Love Begins Without Knowing Why, Then Deepens Beyond Measure."
He has his butler deliver it to Miss Lin by hand.
Later, the Misty Rain residence goes up for sale.
They say the assets worth hundreds of millions that he gives her are not even a tenth of Ying Huaishan's bride price.
