Sidekick to Haute Couture Star

Zoe Hale spent years accompanying her friend to dress fittings and take orders, but was always treated as a convenient sidekick, with even her partner status unacknowledged. She resolutely left the relationship, and by chance entered the haute couture industry, where she established a foothold with her unique styling vision. She abandoned her past people-pleasing personality, broke free from toxic interpersonal patterns, and became a business partner with designer Gu Chengzhou. The two joined forces to resist commercial suppression, stayed true to their original design aspirations, and eventually gained mature, equal love while working side by side.
