Ji Zhen Tang first saw Zhong Yu Bai at her boyfriend's birthday banquet.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, the man sat calmly in the midst of swirling smoke, unruffled, quietly listening to the conversations around the table.
Her boyfriend leaned in to whisper to her, giving her a heads-up: "That's my third uncle, don't provoke him, I can't handle it."
On the same day of the birthday banquet, her boyfriend got drunk and embarrassed her in front of everyone.
Leaving the Zhong family mansion, she walked in the rain. Before long, an umbrella was held over her head, and Ji Zhen Tang looked back.
The person following her turned out to be the same uncle... more>> from earlier. The man smiled gently, with a comforting tone, "Let me walk you a bit."
-
Meeting her ex-boyfriend again at a friend's gathering, they were now former lovers.
Ji Zhen Tang overheard her ex-boyfriend's tone full of envy as he talked about his uncle, mentioning how Zhong Yu Bai bought a tea plantation in the prime land of the mountains and rivers for his little girlfriend.
People started gossiping, "Which woman is so lucky?"
Before anyone could finish their words, someone stepped in from outside. The man exuded an imposing aura, silencing the whole room.
Without paying attention to anyone else, Zhong Yu Bai walked straight to Ji Zhen Tang and gently embraced her.
"The feng shui of the mountains and rivers is suitable for begonias. Since she likes it, everything is negotiable."
-
Ji Zhen Tang had heard about Zhong Yu Bai from others, portraying him as a high-status, gentle and wealthy man. Mr. Zhong was perfect in every aspect, except for being too ruthless and not understanding the meaning of compassion.
But she had clearly seen it. When she was sick, he patiently brewed medicine for her by the stove, gently massaging her numb and painful hand until late into the night.
He spoke words of comfort in the softest and gentlest manner, afraid of troubling her.
"Does it still hurt?"

Zhong Yu Bai listened with a smile, his eyes full of affection as he gazed at his sparrow—

"She is a bird, and I am not her cage."

"I am her sanctuary." <<less

For Shen Li, that person is Lu Changting.

Author's Guide:
Both perspectives of main and supporting roles are included, no breaking, no antagonism, a story about unrequited love, perhaps cliché, but unlikely to be overly tragic, with a Happy Ending.
If there are any similarities to other works, it's probably akin to Andersen's fairy tales.
Open to any feedback on writing style and plot, but not interested in nitpicking. If you dislike character portrayals, please exit at the top right corner.

Jiang Juyou, who graduated from a second-tier university, was on the verge of giving up after having a breakdown from her internship. Suddenly she saw a job posting:

"Looking for interns, 9 to 5, weekends off, social insurances and housing fund provided after being converted to formal employee, internship certificate provided, monthly intern salary 8500, food and housing included, formal salary negotiable, requirement: strong stress resistance."

It's a perfect trap for college students.

Worried that it might be a scam but still went anyway. After arriving, she -

"Ding-"

"Welcome to the Entertainment Company Operations Manual!"

Got bound to a system.

"What the hell?"

Bound to the system, Jiang Juyou was forced to become an entertainment company boss, and so she became someone she hated but also wanted to be - the rich.

[I'm crying but I'm pretending I'm not.jpg]

Jiang Juyou's company became a wind vane in the entertainment industry:

She introduced a new talent show format, and those shows followed suit.

She created new conceptual peripherals, and those companies followed suit.

She operated a new model boy group, and those companies also follo...can't copy, because Jiang Juyou spent too much money.

The fan community shook daily, but Jiang Juyou dodged a bullet.

Fans:

"To the company: Made the petty Entertainment die. To Jiang Juyou: [wry smile] I'll let you off this time."

"Lol, Jiang Juyou got lightly let off because she's too pretty!"

"Can scold the company but don't scold Jiang Juyou!"

"Every time I see Jiang Juyou training trainees, I think why isn't she training me (sorry)"

After Random Entertainment became the hottest company in the industry, Jiang Juyou was isolated by capital.

Capital didn't play with her, so she became capital herself, becoming the main seat at the table, becoming the one everyone had to suck up to -
