So what if like Hua Cheng and Xie Lian met like when they were both young and Xie Lian had his first startup idea, and idk the startup saves Hua Cheng somehow or helps him, but then the startup FAILS and everyone blames Xie Lian Lian because, damn, it was pretty cool but it failed so it must be Xie Lian’s fault.

But it does lead Hua Cheng to start crimson ventures later in life.

But also later it’s revealed Jun Wu SABOTAGED Xie Lian’s startup and that’s why he failed and exposing that bankrupts Jun Wu and happy ending!

I won’t spoil the whole plot, but you might be onto something…🤭

Thanks for the ask! I’m extremely grateful for all of the interest in this AU and I’m excited to share the rest of it with everyone!
