Summary

Xia Lan, raised in an orphanage, relies on her best friend Chu Yiyi—until Yiyi takes her jade pendant, gets adopted by a wealthy family in her place, and cuts off contact. Grown up, Xia Lan works part-time at a bar and accidentally witnesses her boss Fei Sijue's secret; humiliated, she quits in anger. A bet keeps Fei Sijue from letting her go, making her a gofer on call—domineering in manner yet attentive in a hundred little ways. Just as she can no longer tell whether this is a bet or real feelings, Fei Sijue's legitimate wife suddenly appears; in public he is loving with his wife, in private he still controls Xia Lan utterly, even forbidding other men around her. Finally fed up, Xia Lan resolves to escape the relationship.

Editor's review

A typical early-era CEO romance that runs on bets, contracts, mistaken identity, and tangled multi-party affairs. Fast-paced with dense conflict, it suits readers after melodramatic thrills and emotional ups and downs. The stubborn, unyielding heroine and the forceful, awkward hero—their push-and-pull is the main draw. Weaknesses are obvious: too much misunderstanding-driven angst, character motives sometimes serve the plot, and both logic and prose are rough; readers who want narrative depth will be pulled out of the story.

Reading tips

  2. Note the childhood jade-pendant thread between Xia Lan and Chu Yiyi—it is a key setup for later identity and grievance reveals
  3. Brace for the male lead's early overreach; skip passages that make you uncomfortable
