Shattered Mirror, Fallen into Mud: I Became the Tough Guy's Soft Spot

Jiang Yuntang once shone brightest beneath the spotlights, but an accident sent her tumbling into the dirt, turning her into a "pretty face" mocked across the internet. When her stiletto heel got stuck in a construction site's drainage ditch, she thought life couldn't get any more humiliating. Then a man reeking of concrete and steel bars reached out to her. Lu Jianchen, the steely head of the Lu Group, is rumored to have no interest in women. He should have stayed far away from this "trouble magnet," but whenever she was bullied, he stepped in front of her. When she shivered with cold, he offered her his old gloves. And when a torrential downpour nearly swept her away in a warehouse, he held her tightly and kept her safe. She said, "I don't need your charity." He said, "It's not charity. I'm playing favorites." From the mud to the heights, from the depths of trending searches to the truth coming out, she finally discovers the value of the tenderness hidden beneath that cold exterior, as conspiracies and old grudges are unearthed and family secrets and construction scandals are exposed layer by layer. It's worth more than any trending topic. This is a story about falling and rebuilding, and about how what you think is a dead end may actually be fate paving the way for you. Shattered glass sinks into the mud, while a heart's deepest longing rises.
