Synopsis: Song Luli is a sharp-tongued, bold, and reserved young woman who unexpectedly becomes the new successor of her father's company—Song Entertainment—right after her older sister abruptly disinherits herself.
Song Luli, now the heiress of a large company, soon receives word that Song Entertainment is crumbling in the business world. To secure her position, she must marry Long Jie, a wickedly handsome heir of a conglomerate, who is bound to duty and responsibility.
Long Jie is a handsome, ruthless, and calculative young man who destroys careers or makes them, and he is known to be frigid by rejecting every offer for a suitable match.
But he picks Song Luli.
On the terms of marriage, they agreed to never fall in love, to never think about the possibility as they dedicate their time towards their jobs and families. Marriage benefited both of them for the sake of power and to survive the turmoils of High Society.
Watch as the budding romance blooms between two stubborn and cynical individuals who share more in common than they want to admit, learning more about what it means to be married, and battle the power struggles that they face, together.
Meanwhile...
Song Luli's cousin Su Xiang is an aspiring doctor devoted to her job and inheriting the legacy her mother built. She is the heiress of Song Pharmaceuticals, one of the largest medicinal companies in the country. But when her older adoptive brother returns from four years of Medical school, she must confront the blooming feelings she harbours for him.

UPDATED AUTHOR’S FULL REVIEW FOR MY NEW READERS: This novel is for 18+ MATURE readers due to DETAILED sex/smut scenes. I consider this novel to have an erotica subplot after chapter 48. There is no rape, no evil stepmother/sister, and no prolonged misunderstandings. If there is a misunderstanding, the communication between them is almost immediate. PLOT: This romance story is catered to both men and women as the POV’s between all male and female characters are interwoven in each chapter, via third person. The pace is initially slow-burn, but it picks up rather quickly. There are plot twists throughout the story, and most of my chapters are between 1000-1800 words. The main leads are both cynical individuals navigating their new roles as successors of their separate companies—marrying each other would help benefit both of them, uncovering the mastermind who desires to bring them down. There is also a forbidden love story between the second leads—they discovered their feelings, feeling helpless by the barriers that keep them apart. Their story interconnects with the main leads to support them. Their development is also initially slow-burn, and then it picks up quickly. THEMES: Romance, Crime Drama & Mystery The plot starts off surrounding romance, and it slowly transitions into a crime drama, mystery, and plot twists—however, again, it's heavily romance-focused; that means a lot of fluff and steamy scenes. WRITING QUALITY: I’d like to say that all final revisions are done, so there should be little to no mistakes in all chapters. STABILITY OF UPDATES: 1-2 a day, more chapters depends on how much time I have STORY DEVELOPMENT: This is subjective to my readers ;) CHARACTER DESIGN: All characters are multifaceted—female characters are strong, independent, and intellectual in their roles. Male characters initially have an iciness to their personalities, but they quickly become soft, considerate, and gentle. I give life and unique roles to each character, and I’d like to think I make each of them stand out on their own, despite how small or big their role is. WORLD BACKGROUND: The story takes place in China; most of the settings are fictional but inspired by real cities. My novel is 100% original; I do not use other novels for references. My stories are actually based on real events surrounding true crime. My smut scenes are also 100% original. TAGS: Romance; Arrange Marriage; Forbidden Romance; Crime Drama; Mystery; Underworld; Plot Twists Disclaimer: I will no longer respond to mean comments and/or reviews. All opinions are subjective—as an author, it’s my responsibility to keep it professional. But, please, be gentle with any strong opinions. It’s easy to say something behind a screen, but it can stick with people. Thank you, <3.
I enjoyed this story very much. Characters are well described, and I love how romance develops gradually. Each couple is unique. And the snu-snu scenes are H-O-T. Luckily, I started reading it when it was done so I was able to binge-read it in few days. 💖💖💖 Thank you, author for sharing this story! 👍
I usually don't write reviews but this beautiful well written story has forced me to write it. What a beautifully written story. Story plot is amazing and the pace is great too. Not too fast nor too slow. Full of thrills, twists and turns. I am so hooked up to the story. It's a must read. I'll recommend every one to read it.
This is good... the plot is not overly angsty, the characters are relatetable in terms of attitudes. Just like the daughters of the elite... Thank you for sharing with us...

Another good story from this author. I have read your 1st and 2nd book and really love all of them. I always like story with strong female leads. I like how your story flows quick with no prolong misunderstanding. I must say I like the interaction between the main characters and really addicted to read more about them. I am not that keen on the story of two side couples though. Anyway, I hope you release more chapters and more frequently. Look forward for the next chapters :) Great job author!

What to say about this novel. It's one of the best and my favourite.❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍....I really love the characters. They are realistically and beautifully crafted. The author has outdone herself with this novel. The plot is refreshing and it's truly witty. I love the author's way to interweave the 3 love stories together as she has been doing in her other two novels. Don't waste time to read reviews just go for reading it. It's Not-your-typical-Chinese-romance-novel. Love you author. I support you.🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩

Loved the story so far. Its a novel with two love stories and hope there will be a little bit of the third story. Though I don't really know the role of Song Meiling but am.excited to know more of her character and the pretty boy discussed in earlier chapters. As for the other two stories I like them but I believe the pace is a too slow but interesting.Make me look forward to it and a little different from the cliche love stories. Like the writing style of the author and the stories. Looking forward to it.
Seriously, I really like this story. Beautiful love story, loveable couple, beautiful friendship. I will never get bored reading this any other time.
