    Summary

    Dressed in clothes more expensive than what he earns in a month, Wu Suowei wonders how he ended up on a date with Chi Cheng. Moreover, how did Jiang Xiaoshuai convince him to attend this marriage meeting while pretending to be Guo Chengyu?

    —--

    In other words, when they were children, Chi Cheng and Guo Chengyu’s parents secretly set up a marriage contract to link their families together. Not willing to let this happen, Jiang Xiaoshuai and Guo Chengyu recruit Wu Suowei. All he has to do is make Chi Cheng be the one to call off the engagement. Now, how hard could that be?

    A fic loosely based on The Business Proposal.

    Summary

    Chi Cheng lives by order—discipline, rules, and the certainty that everything bends to his control. Power is simple: he commands, others obey—inside the lecture hall and far beyond it.

    Wu Suo Wei ruins that simplicity. Naïve but disarming, eager yet defiant without meaning to, he turns every rule inside out. What should have been a distraction becomes an obsession: obedience that feels like rebellion, surrender that tastes like defiance.

    Control was never meant to slip.

    But with every kiss, every stumble of honesty, every wide-eyed glance, Chi Cheng learns the most dangerous lesson of all—some things can’t be taught or controlled.

    Summary

    Wu Suowei fell first, but Chi Cheng fell harder.

    Wu Suowei is the perfect secretary. Always efficient and always three steps of everyone around him. To outsiders, he’s just the guard dog that sits at the desk in front of Chi Cheng’s office. To Chi Cheng, he’s a shoulder to lean on when the corporate world gets to be too overwhelming.

    Wu Suowei may be the company’s ‘ice prince’, but underneath it all is just an unrequited love with nowhere to go.
