The Longest Road is the One Guided by Your Heart

Fresh out of college and battered by a brutal job hunt, Su Xiaoyu was on the verge of being evicted.

Just as panic was setting in, an email landed in her inbox from the CEO of Yifeng Entertainment, a company she had interviewed with just days prior.

It wasn’t a job offer. It was a public matchmaking call.

The CEO announced that whoever could win the heart of her eldest, unmarried daughter and become her daughter-in-law would be rewarded with a

five-million-dollar bounty and a luxury villa. Driven by desperation and the allure of a fortune, Su Xiaoyu decided to take the plunge.

She successfully infiltrated Yifeng Entertainment with one goal in mind: seduce the boss’s daughter.

Rumor had it that the daughter, Ruan Yi, had been profoundly introverted since childhood.

She was a loner, an extreme germaphobe who couldn’t stand being touched, and wore an aura of absolute, icy indifference.

Su Xiaoyu threw everything she had into thawing the ice beauty.

Unfortunately, before Ruan Yi could even take the bait, Su Xiaoyu found herself falling hopelessly in love.

Miserable and filled with guilt, Su Xiaoyu decided to resign after a few months. But before she could slip away, the chronically distant Ruan Yi called her into the corner office.

Leaning back in her executive chair with a faint, knowing smile, Ruan Yi raised an eyebrow. “Leaving so soon?”

Su Xiaoyu bit her lip, deciding it was time for total honesty. “I only came here to seduce you because I received your mother’s email.

My intentions were corrupt from the start. I’m sorry, I’m backing out.”

“An email?” Ruan Yi echoed, her smile deepening.

Su Xiaoyu looked up, confused. “Yes.”

Ruan Yi locked eyes with her. “Did it ever occur to you to ask why no one else received that email?”

Su Xiaoyu froze, her mouth slightly open. “N-no. Why?”

A rare, brilliant smile broke across Ruan Yi’s face, utterly melting her icy exterior. “Because I was the one who sent it to you.”
