Mysterious RIng — The Sponsor's Ring

You're holding me back. I dumped you. I'm Qiao Chen's kept woman. Been with him three years.

He's rich, handsome, and good in bed. Generous with me too. Only rule: no kiss scenes. Cost me some roles.

Got called a prude a lot. But I don't care. I've always toed the line. Never caused him trouble.

But I never expected my first trouble to be huge. I hit his just-returned first love. It started when Qiao Chen asked me to a banquet.

Shu Yan, are you crazy? Gossiping behind his back is one thing, but saying it to my face? Do you think I won't hit you?

Miss Shu, this is the Song house. Such a rash move— have you thought about the consequences?

Miss Ye, if your parents were being dragged through the mud like this, I hope you'd stay calm

and think first. But I don't know how Ye Qin got involved. Anyway, when Qiao Chen and the others arrived,

we were all out fighting. I was a total mess. But Ye Qin looked much better. You were clearly biased.

I was the one who dumped you. I can
