Sophie Huang has spent five years climbing the corporate ladder as the assistant to the CEO of a prestigious PR firm.

James Tian walked away from his influential father's empire to carve out his own path, and his risk paid off—he's now one of the world’s youngest billionaires.

As his troubles mount, James turns to external PR management for damage control. Little does he know, the woman hired to fix his public image will be the very same woman who could unravel his carefully constructed life.

Sparks fly and tensions rise as Sophie and James find themselves in a high-stakes game of power and desire. With neither willing to back down, they agree to a Friends-With-Benefits arrangement to keep things simple. But as passion deepens and emotions get involved, they’re both left wondering—can they keep their hearts out of the equation? And what will happen when their secret relationship becomes front-page news?
