Temptation on the Tip of the Tongue

At a lavish and mysterious dinner, five dazzling cocktails take down the unshakeable Gu Lansheng. One moment she’s the picture of icy elegance, the next she’s drunk beyond reason—collapsing into the arms of her rival-turned-temptation, Lu Sixian.

But fate has a wicked sense of humor. In the dead of night, parched and staggering, Gu Lansheng follows the sound of running water… only to push open the wrong door. From that moment on, nothing between them can return to “business as usual.”

Fast forward to Time Magazine’s Elite Showcase livestream. The whole world is watching, waiting for sparks to fly as the two powerful women meet again after their “cold war.”
The host, eager for romance, smiles,
“Please use a four-character phrase to describe your reunion.”
Lu Sixian, eyes soft with memory: “Unforgettable to this day.”
Gu Lansheng, lips curling with venom: “Shameless.”
The host, flustered: “Um… President Gu, it has to be an idiom—”
Gu Lansheng, smiling like a blade: “Brazen beyond belief.”

The internet explodes. Millions of viewers can’t look away from their fiery clash. And when Gu Lansheng takes to her own livestream that very night, crowned as the new popularity queen, her theme leaves fans screaming: Never again will I get drunk and go looking for water.

But temptation is a dangerous game. Once you’ve tasted it, you crave more. Desire grows insatiable, every glance another spark, every word another weapon. In the high-stakes battlefield of business and love, neither woman is willing to bow—but both may just burn for each other.

A tale of two queens—sharp-tongued, seductive, and unstoppable. Expect business warfare, heated rivalry, intoxicating attraction, indulgent sweetness, and an endless tug-of-war between power and passion.
