Synopsis
Shen Qingzhou enjoyed the security of a high-paying, stable career until a sudden change in management turned his professional life into a minefield. The new executive arriving to take the helm is none other than Gu Heng, an ex-boyfriend who possesses both the wealth of a second-generation heir and a lingering grudge. The tension spikes immediately when the professional relationship is weaponized, leading to a precarious situation where employment depends on more than just job performance. Instead of a standard termination, a provocative contract is offered—one that trades financial gain and job security for a supportive, intimate arrangement. The prose balances corporate friction with a biting, vengeful chemistry, escalating from cold professional distance to a heated power struggle. Those who enjoy watching two stubborn individuals trade blows in a psychological game of one-upmanship will find the friction satisfying, while those seeking a gentle, healthy romance may find the mutual antagonism grating. This story focuses on the thin line between hatred and desire.

Editorial Review
With a concise length of 96 chapters, this completed work avoids the common pitfall of endless dragging, providing a tight arc that resolves the conflict between the leads. The central strength lies in the dynamic between the protagonist and his former lover; the shift from a wolf cub to a calculating old dog provides a clear character evolution that drives the plot forward. However, the limited scope of the story means some of the emotional fallout from their previous breakup feels rushed, leaving certain motivations underdeveloped. Given the low visibility of the work, it remains a hidden gem for those who appreciate high-tension power dynamics within a corporate setting. The resolution is satisfying, though the relationship's foundation is built on a transactional contract that might feel too convenient for some. Overall, it is a focused, punchy execution of a revenge-to-romance plot.
