Synopsis

Jiang Jun is allergic to tears, and has a double degree in economics and psychology. She is unrestrained and idealistic due to her family's liberal ways of raising her. After graduation, she worked in a philanthropy organization where she pursues her dreams of helping others. However, her father's sudden death leaves her in a dilemma. Eventually, she decides to work in the top investment company MH to fulfill her father's dying wish. In MH, Jiang Jun meets her childhood playmate, Yuan Shuai. However, the current Yuan Shuai is no longer the gentle and caring protector she remembered him to be, but her rival at work. In MH, where the "culture of wolf instinct" is rampant, someone is plotting against Jiang Jun while another sees her as an eyesore. However with her kind nature and attention to details, along with her high EQ and sense of judgment, Jiang Jun eventually overcomes these obstacles to attain success in both her career and love life.
