Inferior to the Dawn

"An evenly split marriage, 100% happiness."
Su Jin, the adopted daughter of the Su family, falls in love with her elder brother, Su Mubai, in her youth.
In the beginning, he promises her, "After you graduate from university, we will get married."
However, he ends up marrying someone else.
Later on, she gets busy attending blind dates and tries to enter an ordinary marriage with a heart that's nothing but cold and dead.
Jin Hengyuan is cold but handsome—he's her nth blind date.
The first time they meet, she wants to scare him away. "If you think it's suitable, we can get registered tomorrow!"
He smiles. "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. I'll be there in the afternoon!"
In the afternoon, she becomes his wife.
...
She is a quiet woman who doesn't fight or argue.
He has no house, but she says it's fine.
When it comes to meals, she insists they split the bill evenly.
When it comes to sleeping, she insists on sleeping in separate beds.
When a woman clings onto him, she ignores her and turns to leave.
Even with his daughter clinging to him, she only frowns and tries to keep her composure.
A hidden marriage. No one knows that they are husband and wife. Nor does she care.
After being plotted against and sent to the police station, he comes to her rescue. Finally, he loses it and starts scolding her, "Must you be so stubborn? Why didn't you call me when something happened? Do you think I'm dead?"
She pouts indignantly. "Jin Hengyuan, do you treat me as your wife? If you do, why did you choose to get married in secret?"
His anger turns into a smile. Good, she's finally angry.
This love was finally no longer his one-man show.
...
Small skits:
"Jin Hengyuan, I want a divorce!"
"Reason!"
"You lied to me!"
"How did I lie to you?"
"You're clearly an attorney. When did you become an errand boy?"
"Aren't attorneys supposed to run errands for clients? I take on all kinds of cases. Isn't this considered an odd-job laborer?"
"…"
Oh, damn it. How did she marry such a bully of an attorney?

The Perfect Hidden Marriage

She really, really did not understand. Since he had already chosen to give up, why did he still want to resume their past relationship in the upcoming future? He even wanted to abandon his wife.

They could no longer go back to the past… Did he not know?

"Jin, I know it's you. Say something!"

Through her tears, she saw him send another text.

She bit her lip and did not leave a note. She retreated in panic and shut her eyes. Her heart ached. It really hurt…

At dawn, Su Jin helped her foster mother with her dinner and then went to work as usual.

Su Jin's company was called Jin Hui.

This was an interior design company. It wasn't big, but the boss had been in this line of business for quite some time. From a local perspective, Jin Hui had quite a reputation. Especially in the past two years, Jin Hui had taken on several large-scale projects for fully furnished villas that were ready for sale. Every single one of them had a unique style that won the approval of the real estate developers.

Su Jin had contributed plenty to these projects.

She was an art student and proficient in all kinds of drawing and painting techniques. She had once dreamed of being an artist. Later on, under the pressure of livelihood, she learned interior design, specializing in home interior decorations and was adept at ornamental fixtures.

Someone once asked her, "The commission for home design is far less than commercial design. You're so talented in this area, so why didn't you think of going to learn about office interior design?"

Su Jin answered, "I'm only interested in home interior design!"

Now, she, Su Jin, was one of the four great designers of Jin Hui. For a novice who had only joined the industry for two years, her rise was definitely rapid. Her boss valued her highly and her salary was pretty good. Of course, she also worked hard enough.

On this day, she went to visit a site.

On Wednesday, she was preparing an interior design draft at the company.

She used her hecticness to calm her emotions. Without that affair with Musheng, her work efficiency became much higher.

On Thursday morning, Su Jin accompanied her boss to New Imperial Garden, where they participated in the creative bidding meeting for fully furnished model villas. After a busy day, they still achieved very satisfactory results: New Imperial Garden had decided to hand the work for the five model villas to Jin Hui.

At night, the boss brought the entire team to a dinner party with the people in charge of the Interior Scale Model Department at New Imperial Garden. This was a work socialization event that could not be declined. As the chief designer, she must attend.

"Su Jin, don't think that you'll have an easy time after getting this project. That Yan guy loves to draw out the payment deadline and has even forced quite a few designers to sleep with him. It's not that I'm not as good as you, it's just that I don't want to deal with people like him. In the coming days, you'll have to pray for your own luck… Everyone says that you get projects based on your ability. Don't end up selling your body as well to get the balance payment…"

People of the same trade were jealous of one another. During the meal, another colleague, who was more senior than her, took the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks while they were in the restroom.

She ignored the person. Inwardly, she was aware that it would not be easy to earn money from this project indeed.
