Beware the Sweet Talk

They say Fu Shiyu, the renowned architect who once commanded great prestige in the industry, has somehow fallen so low that he's designing a tiny guesthouse?

His peers were stunned. They thought the great Designer Fu had lost all his prestige and ruined his image.

That was until they met the guesthouse's partner, Tang Xien, a breathtakingly beautiful top lawyer known in legal circles as "The Gentle Blade."

Onlookers weighed in: "The cool, chaste Designer Fu has finally met his end at the hands of a gentle blade!"

On opening day, Tang Xien and creative designer Fu Shiyu gave an interview.

Reporter: "We heard Mr. Fu designed the place for free. Is that true?"

Fu Shiyu, expressionless: "That's false. No comment!"

Reporter: "Ms. Tang, what's your secret for persuading Mr. Fu to design it himself?"

Tang Xien, perfectly composed: "A secret? We just fell in love."
