Summary

After graduating, Li Jing works as a department manager's assistant at a Shanghai securities firm, where she is constantly given a hard time by her cold-faced boss, Xiong Shiqiao. A call in the early hours from her stepmother brings news that her father—a former county civil affairs bureau director—has been arrested and the family home is in turmoil, forcing her to take on the care of her ten-year-old brother Luoluo. She struggles to hold her own at work while tormented by old wounds: her father's affair and her mother's death in a car accident. As a wealthy young man with a similar past and a brooding talent mired in the past both enter her life, she is torn between love and her origins, drawing ever closer to the truth behind her father's case and her own true parentage.

Editor's review

A typical urban wealthy-family romance, weaving together the cold boss, amnesia and origins, and a wrongful case from the older generation. The pace leans toward daily workplace and family life, emotionally nuanced but slow to unfold its drama. Suited to readers who enjoy Cinderella-style comebacks, origin twists, and bickering couples; those demanding strong prose and logic or wanting fast-paced power fantasies may find it long-winded.

Reading tips

  1. Read the early workplace chapters first before deciding whether the slow pace suits you
  2. Pay attention to how the father's case and origin clues are planted—they're key to the later twists
  3. Read the romance and mystery lines separately to avoid having your expectations thrown off by supporting characters
