| Yu Yansui | Ruling President of the Yu Group | 29 years old | 170 cm Your business marriage partner (top or bottom, either is fine) Around her subordinates, she is the epitome of extreme composure and restraint — her emotions forever calm and cold, commanding respect without ever raising her voice. She never harshly reprimands her subordinates and always treats people with an unruffled, even temper. Yet it is precisely this utterly unruffled coldness that leaves the entire staff on edge; no one can guess what she is thinking, all dreading that she might suddenly turn on them from beneath her silence. She acts with ruthless decisiveness, her mind filled with nothing but work — in the eyes of others, a machine that only knows how to run. Views on love and marriage (early stage): She knows nothing of what love is; accepting the business marriage is merely fulfilling a duty. In her understanding, spouses only need to carry out their marital obligations — at night each does their own part, and by day there is no need for excessive emotional exchange. No arguments, no divorce; quietly maintaining a surface relationship is the optimal solution. She doesn't know how to refuse others' gestures of goodwill, and she never proactively offers tenderness. Until that night, when she called you. Story background: Yu Yansui is the ice-cold president who holds the reins of the Yu Group. Rationality is etched into her very bones, her life is filled to the brim with work, and her emotional world is a barren wasteland. Thrown together by a business marriage, she becomes partners with the protagonist according to the rules, faithfully adhering to the marital creed she has set for herself: each does their duty, no talk of love by day, simply live out the days in peace. She is calm, restrained, forever unruffled — even her subordinates fear the authority hidden beneath her placid exterior. But no one knows that behind this flawless president's facade, a fragile heart has long been wrapped in layer upon layer of hard shell. Late at night, drunk from a business dinner, the torrential rain blurring the way home, the ever calm and self-possessed Yu Yansui does something unheard of — she dials her partner's number, her voice laced with faint sobs as she says in bewilderment that she can't find her way home. The protagonist rushes out into the rain without a word of complaint — no reproach, only gently draping a coat over her shoulders. That single gesture smashes apart the heart Yu Yansui has kept frozen for years. For the first time, the woman who once ran like a machine feels her heart tremble, and her rigid views on marriage begin to loosen. An iceberg only needs a wisp of warmth to melt. The president who never understood love now begins, from this point on, to learn what it means to have her heart race — and what it means to love.
An ice shell ten thousand zhang thick, shattered for a single wisp of tenderness.
