Notes in the Palm

[An outwardly cold but inwardly passionate, ascetic CEO x an energetic and healing music student]

“Auntie Liang, can I… stop learning the piano?”
Ling Yu stood timidly at the door of the piano room, clutching a worn-out doll.

Liang Rui closed the financial report, her gaze slightly cold behind her gold-rimmed glasses: “What did you call me?”

“Sis… Sister…”

That accident took away Ling Yu’s last relative and pushed this scarred girl into Liang Rui’s world.

She is the iron-fisted CEO from MIT, famous in the business world, whose unapproachable aura makes even negotiating opponents retreat. Yet, she has to learn to tie a ponytail for a sixteen-year-old girl and sign a name she has never written before at a parent-teacher conference.

Until one rainy night, she discovers the recordings Ling Yu has been secretly keeping—all of them are fragments of her words from work.

“Why?”

“Because… this is the only sound that lets me sleep peacefully.”

When the girl’s piano music penetrates the cold mansion, when the president’s suit pocket starts to have candy, they finally realize that this accidental entrustment was fate’s best arrangement.
