[Sharp-tongued, controlling, untouchable beauty x jealous, petty, mad dog]
Xu Tingzhi is definitely having an unlucky year.
The group's leadership has undergone a major shake-up, leaving her, the heir apparent, caught between two sides. A partnership with the Hong Kong side could be the key to breaking the deadlock, but...
Xu Tingzhi never expected to see He Ting again. Her longtime nemesis, who always went out of her way to oppose her, has become the project lead sent by the Hong Kong side.
"Mr. Xu, long time no see. How have you been?"
Looking at that irritating smile, Xu Tingzhi sneers inwardly, but smiles warmly as she takes the hand He Ting lazily extends.
"It has been a long time. You haven't changed at all since you were a kid."
Still the same jerk, an ungrateful wolf who could never be tamed.
In a dimly lit, suggestive practice room, the ungrateful wolf pins her down on a sofa, their chests pressed together. Only then does Xu Tingzhi realize that He Ting has grown up. The little tagalong who used to follow her everywhere is forever in the past.
"Xu Tingzhi, have you ever considered that maybe you don't feel anything because of your preferences?" Her eyes hold back a trace of madness.
"Give your body to me... I'll make you feel good."
The next day, a rumor spreads out of nowhere: Ting, the top Dom in the scene, has become a sub. Countless subs are heartbroken.
Their hard-to-define relationship unfolds in a muddle, and He Ting gets so caught up in their little "dating" game that she can't stop.
Seeing her silly expression, a friend hints, "Aren't you a Dom? Why does it feel like Xu Tingzhi has trained you like a dog?"
He Ting: "As if! I've got my own rhythm. Why are you so interested in our relationship? Trying to steal my girl?!"
Friend: "..."
Whenever Xu Tingzhi comes up, He Ting turns into a possessive mad dog. If anyone even dares look at Xu Tingzhi, He Ting will bite them to death.
When she comes to her senses, all that's left in the bedroom are a few empty iron chains. Xu Tingzhi is nowhere to be seen... She's been abandoned again!
In the conference room, He Ting pins her down, gritting her teeth.
"Darling, you stole a project from me and then dumped me. Don't you think that's a little immoral?"
Xu Tingzhi chuckles, lazily scratching the starving little dog, her eyes still full of allure.
"The adult world is full of lust and deceit. So, darling, would you like to have an adult relationship with me?"
