Publisher's Synopsis
Qin Ningyu's marriage was far from an ordinary union. She became the wife of the eldest grandson of her grandfather's old friend, a man destined to inherit the prestigious Xie Corporation-a figure of power and privilege. Meanwhile, she was just an ordinary employee in one of its departments.
Before the wedding, their encounters were fleeting, yet once Xie Chiyan returned from abroad, the dynamics began to shift. At a company gala, Ningyu observed her boss bending over on the terrace, eager to light a cigarette for him. He refused, the flicker of red flame casting brief shadows on his face as his aloof gaze swept past her without pause.
