Summary

Top agent Su Ran witnesses her boyfriend of six years, Fu Junyi, cheating with her half-sister Su Muqing. She publicly splashes coffee and slaps him in a restaurant, decisively breaking up. Heartbroken, she goes drinking at a bar and accidentally takes the low-key, clean-living Mu Group president Mu Chen for a "blank slate" and brings him back to her hotel. She assumes it's a one-night stand and they'll never meet again—but Mu Chen actively pursues her, calling her "Jiejie" and demanding she take responsibility. Mu Chen also happens to be her biggest investor, so Su Ran must placate him while juggling everything else. The two gradually grow closer amid entertainment industry turmoil, betting agreements, and family entanglements, moving from a drunken misunderstanding to genuine love.

Editor's review

A typical modern romance power fantasy: the opening catch-the-cheater breakup and face-slapping is swift, the female lead is a top agent managing artists with a sharp, strong persona; the male lead Mu Chen is cold to outsiders but clingy and wolf-like with the female lead—this contrast is the biggest highlight. Older woman/younger man romance, entertainment industry workplace, and wealthy family elements intertwine with a brisk pace and ample sweetness, suitable for commuting or bedtime stress relief. Weaknesses include formulaic plotting, cardboard villains and misunderstandings, and limited depth; readers seeking realism or complex character arcs may find it thin.

Reading tips

  1. Start with the first few chapters' catch-the-cheater and bar encounter to quickly judge if it suits your taste
  2. Treat the whole book as a short stress-relief read; don't demand complex characters
  3. Focus on Su Ran's agent workplace line—it's more informative than the pure romance line
