Taming Roses

[Kept lover + the chase after a breakup + awakening to workplace psychological manipulation + angst before satisfaction + bittersweet romance] Jiang Yan had been with Zhou Zhenting for three years. By day, she was Zhou Zhenting's woman and the president's special assistant, charging into battle for him in front of others. By night, she was Zhou Zhenting's woman in a more intimate sense, tossed around in bed by him. He had grown used to her obedience, her gentleness, and her... love. Until one day, her computer screen lit up. Thirty days until resignation and freedom. When his once-obedient secretary suddenly grew cold, the domineering CEO finally realized: The coffee she made was bitter, the ties she gave him were perfunctory, and even the soft, sweet way she called him “President Zhou”... had a blade hidden in it. * At Zhou Zhenting's engagement banquet, Jiang Yan handed in her resignation letter, but he tore it to pieces. “You're not going anywhere.” Three days later, the headlines announced: “Speedboat strikes reef offshore. No survivors.” At the funeral, he went mad clutching her empty urn, never knowing that under a new identity, she was signing billion-dollar contracts overseas!
