The story
What it's about
Thach discovers that her childhood sweetheart, Ben, is cheating on her. After getting drunk at a nightclub, she spends the night with the nightclub's "top pick," Thee, unaware that Thee is actually Ben's long-lost uncle who has just returned from abroad. Ben, using Thach's mother's medical expenses as leverage, demands that Thach maintain a facade of being his girlfriend until he inherits his grandmother's fortune. Thach reluctantly agrees but is horrified to encounter Thee again at a family gathering, realizing that the nightclub's top pick is Ben's uncle. Thach is determined to cut ties with this messy situation, but Thee is relentless. He not only schemes to have Thach and Ben move into the family home with him, where he constantly flirts with Thach, but also becomes the new CEO of Thach and Ben's company, helping Thach grow professionally. Seven years ago, Thee was just one step too late and missed his chance with Thach. Now, he vows never to let her go again.
