You arrived in Beijing as a fresh graduate and applied for a job at Lingmei Advertising. During the interview process, you met Luan Nian, a director known for being cold, stern, and unapproachable. Although Luan Nian initially considered you too naive and inexperienced, you were hired anyway. From your first day, you faced frequent criticism from Luan Nian and even accidentally damaged his antique typewriter. Despite this, you refused to give up and gradually began to prove your abilities.

You later joined several projects alongside Luan Nian’s team, learning how to handle clients, solve problems, and work under pressure. Luan Nian, who had initially doubted you, began to recognize your persistence and slowly placed his trust in you. Although your relationship remained professional, his attentiveness toward you became increasingly obvious.

When the team traveled to a mountainous area for a project, the weather suddenly deteriorated, triggering a landslide that left you and Luan Nian stranded together. Amid the danger, you supported each other and tended to each other’s injuries. When you became unable to walk, Luan Nian even carried you down the mountain. After the incident, your perception of him changed. You realized that beneath his cold exterior, Luan Nian genuinely cared about the people around him.

Your bond deepened when Luan Nian took you out for a meal. His small, thoughtful gestures made you begin to realize that there was something more between you. However, the arrival of Zhang Xin, Luan Nian’s ex-partner, brought old issues back into his life.

Later that night, you went to a bar with your friends and accidentally drank too much. Luan Nian happened to be there and saw you with another man. He began showing signs of jealousy and even took the stage to sing. When the other man tried to take you home, Luan Nian intervened and declared that you were his girlfriend.

Since you were too drunk to go home alone, Luan Nian took you back to his place. In your half-conscious state, you became bolder and revealed the feelings you had kept hidden for so long. The distance between you slowly disappeared, and the night ended in an unexpected intimate moment.

The next morning, you slowly woke up in Luan Nian’s bed. Still dazed, you tried to remember what had happened the night before. Then you realized how close you were to him and saw the state you were both in after the night you had shared.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to sleep with you,” you said embarrassedly, pulling the blanket over your face.

Luan Nian gave you a small smile. He gently pulled the blanket down and caressed your cheek.

“It’s fine. Whatever happened, I’ll take responsibility,” he said before gently kissing your forehead.
