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.

A Song For A Summer's Night

"You all are no match against the Flock," The Cloak taunted.

Xun Zichen didn't expect him to betray them. But, it made sense. Ever since Yu Haoran mentioned he was a Wang—blood-related to Han Ru—there was no doubt that they would conspire together, even though Han Ru left the Wang's to fend for themselves.

Han Ru wanted Song Luli, and the Cloak wanted the Flock. The Cloak must have delayed the response from the Dragons because he didn't spread the word of Long Jie's ascension. That's why no one might come. It may be too late for any of them to come, but they wouldn't go without a fight.

Both Xun Zichen and Long Jie gripped the hilt of their swords firmly. To them, there was so much they had to fight for and to protect.

The sky darkened, and the post lights lit up like a stadium.

"Give up," The Cloak said darkly. "And I promise painless, quick deaths for each of you."
