"Mingpai" is a realist urban romance novel that depicts the ambiguity and emotional game in the urban workplace. It depicts the emotional dilemma of contemporary urban elites with delicate brushstrokes, and shows the unspoken temptations, the restraint of hesitating to speak, and the courage to do something when you know that you can't do it in adult love under the intertwining of institutional rules and personal desires.
The story revolves around Wen Yining, a 28-year-old government official, and Lu Yuanzheng, a 30-year-old cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission. The two met during inspection work and started an emotional tug-of-war full of temptation and restraint.
Wen Yining is smart and sharp but trapped in trivial tasks within the system, while Lu Yuanzheng appears to be rigorous and self-disciplined, but in fact he is burdened with an unknown past.
From the subtle heartbeat when they first met when they took the wrong pen, to the dangerous invitation after being drunk late at night, the two carefully navigated the rules of the workplace and their personal emotions.
When Wen Yining discovered the mystery of Lu Yuanzheng's unsolved engagement with the daughter of the Commerce Bureau, as well as the many secrets behind his prominent family background, this ambiguous game that started with good feelings gradually evolved into a soul torture about sincerity and deception.
When all the trump cards are finally revealed, can two people who are accustomed to hiding their true feelings show their final "clear card" for love?
