He twisted the top of the bottle gently and sprayed the fragrance.

First, there was a steady and gorgeous fragrance of leather. Then, due to the addition of the Night-Soul flower, there was also a faint trace of a strange flower fragrance in the air. It was hard to capture, but it made one’s heart itch.

As time passed, all that was left was a refreshing pine scent that could be smelled after a rainy day. It was mixed with the lingering scent of sandalwood. It was as if when the person left, there was a figure that people just could not forget.

Jiang Shaomin slowly opened his eyes and reluctantly left the fragrance journey that he had embarked on. 

“It seems that the name of this perfume is called ‘Crown’?” asked Jiang Shaomin.

Bailu nodded sincerely and said, “Mr. Jiang is the king of the business world. A crown is most suitable for you.”

Jiang Shaomin raised his eyebrows and did not comment.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight.

This was the crown that she had offered him. Was it also the crown that she wanted to wear for herself?

This bottle of ‘Crown’ was not like the other perfumes in Aroman. The perfumers there spent all their efforts on extravagance and luxury. ‘Crown’ on the other hand, had many rich layers and maintained a noble theme. 

The seductive fragrance of the Night-Soul flower.

The steadiness and bitterness of the pine wood.

The freshness and sweetness of the crescent flower.

Everything was just right. 

In addition to his outer appearance, Bailu had also captured the gentleness, sadness, desire, and ambition in his heart.

Jiang Shaomin’s blood slowly boiled. Through the connection of the fragrance, he could tell that this woman understood him. He could also feel their souls getting closer and closer!

In the beginning, he had made this request because of his selfish desire to test Bailu’s ability.

However, she had given him an unexpected surprise. Not only did she fulfill his expectations, but she even took a piece of his mind away without his permission.

“Then, are you willing to enjoy this throne with me? Together, we will make Aroman brand the king of the perfume industry.”

The perfume industry was not Jiang Shaomin’s main business, but ever since Bailu appeared, it had risen to an unprecedented ambition.

Since she had already made a stunning crown, how could he not let it come true?

Bailu took a few quick breaths. Her heart was beating as fast as the time when her ‘First Love’ perfume was recognized by teacher Gutt. 

No! To be honest, she was even more excited than before!

It was because this time, not only did she want to realize her dream of perfume-making, but she also wanted to return magnificently and regain everything that she had lost!

“I will take revenge on them, those who betrayed me and slandered me.”

She did not hide her hatred. If he had sent out an invitation, she would have stepped into Aroman with the fury of revenge.

She was no longer the gentlewoman who was dressed in pure white at the engagement party when they first met. After experiencing the Nirvana of life and death, she became an avenger that would cause people to love and hate each other.

If it were any other man, he would have long been scared away by the current her.

However, Jiang Shaomin only appreciated her honesty even more. 

“Hatred is a very good motivation.”

After all, he had used a similar kind of unknown hatred to build his castle.

He put down the ‘Crown’ perfume, caressed her cheek with his large palm, and said, “But promise me that you won’t be swallowed by hatred.”

His eyes met her black eyes that were like stars. Bailu touched his palm and shook his hand instead. The hatred on her face disappeared and turned into a faint smile.

“The deal is done. I will use it to offer my value to Aroman, and the perfume that brings my glory will help me.”

Jiang Shaomin tightened his soft palm. He was a little unhappy when she used the word ‘deal’. However, he had no idea why he felt unhappy. Could it be that there was nothing else between them other than a deal?

…

One day, Bailu, who had recovered, sat in President Jiang’s sports car. She arrived at the Jiang Corporation in a high-profile manner.

Unlike her usual plain white dress, she wore a tight-fitting black dress that carried a beautiful murderous aura. President Jiang, who was the focus of everyone’s attention, walked into the company with her. They walked side by side. 

At that moment, the entire company was in an uproar because of the arrival of this high-profile woman. Everyone was speculating about her background.

Some guessed that she was a rich young lady who had joined the company out of nowhere.

Some recognized her as the perfumer under Gutt’s brand who had just revealed her talent a while ago.

While everyone was speculating, Bailu arrived at the floor where the Aroman brand was located and briefly introduced herself.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Bailu. I’m also a new perfumer. From now on, I’ll set up my personal workshop here. Please advise me.”

Everyone gave her a strange look.
