Zhi Lu is the youngest division director at Shengyao Group — a work-driven powerhouse who built her career on results, not favors. Shu Cheng is the newly appointed VP of marketing: cool, distant, and all business, with a reputation for ice-cold professionalism. Their first meeting is a quarterly review where he publicly challenges her conversion-cost data, and she fires back on the spot. What follows is not a timid crush but a contest between equals: she pursues him with competence, not pleading; he shields her in silence while refusing to let anyone in. As rival Shen Ning moves against her and the Ruichi account becomes a battlefield, Zhi Lu proves she earns every title she holds — and Shu Cheng slowly learns that opening his heart does not mean becoming his father. An original contemporary office romance that blends career ambition, slow-burn tension, and a strong female lead who never settles for less than an equal partner.
