Investment Banking: A Return to Old Tunes

Seven years ago, on a rainy night in Shanghai, Lu Zeyan cut off all contact and left for Princeton across the ocean, leaving Jiang Shuying with only one sentence: "We're not right for each other."

Seven years later, she is the queen of sponsorship at Chenxing Securities, handling IPO projects worth tens of billions. He is a domineering tycoon who has returned from abroad to take up a position at Zeheng Capital. The two clash once more over the IPO of Xingchen Technology. At the negotiating table, he corners her at every turn, using contract clauses to stall her project. Late at night in a piano store, she finds him playing the familiar Moonlight Sonata. A wrong note from his fingers reveals that the feelings in his heart have never faded.

She thinks he was a faithless man seduced by wealth and status, never knowing that he staged a cruel breakup to protect her from her family’s underworld schemes. He thinks she has long moved on, never knowing that she has held on to their old keepsakes and fought her way through the financial world, all while waiting for an answer.

As family vendettas and workplace crises pile up, the two join forces to break through the impasse. The precision of finance collides with the tenderness of the piano, and a broken mirror is made whole again. It turns out the most intense push and pull has always been a deep love neither could hide.
