Su Ranran, a top-tier office worker, has always known where her strengths lie. She knows how to read the room and when to advance or retreat, handling everything with care while keeping herself hidden as smoothly as water.
Over five years, she has indulged Ji Junhuai's already fussy nature until he became even more impossibly demanding.
Ji Junhuai is a rising star in tech, a man among men. Thanks to his genius brain, all his sharp edges are regarded as admirable brilliance.
Su Ranran is also grateful for his generosity. Every time she thinks about quitting, the hefty balance in her salary account changes her mind.
Until one slightly tipsy evening, one rainy night, and one intoxicating, passionate encounter later, she wakes up beside Ji Junhuai.
Su Ranran hands in her resignation, only for Ji Junhuai to corner her.
The man blocks most of the cold white light, forcing her to stand in his shadow.
A biting chill spills from beneath his lowered, indifferent lashes, and Su Ranran finally feels the pressure a prey animal faces before its natural enemy.
She forces out a perfectly sociable smile. "Don't worry, Mr. Ji. I don't need..."
"I do." Ji Junhuai presses her step by step into a corner. "Su Ranran, it was my first time. Don't you plan to take responsibility?"
