Vanity of the Thousand Lights

share time: 2025-10-04 02:30:46

Lin Wan, an investment banking elite who’s engraved “winning” into her bones, meets Wen Shi—a man selling old books downstairs from her company. This guy with dimples when he smiles actually says she “dresses like a soulless luxury item.” Stranger still, Wen Shi seems to see right through her: he knows about the stomach medicine she hides, the tears she sheds revising PPTs at midnight, even the secret of her giving up painting. When Lin Wan is suspended for a project violation and everyone abandons her, Wen Shi offers a cup of hot ginger tea: “Want to watch the sunrise without high heels?” But just as she wavers, she finds the plan for the startup her company is acquiring hidden under Wen Shi’s book stall—Is he the light of redemption, or the one laying a trap?
