By day, she was his capable and efficient subordinate. By night, she was his alluring bedmate.
After four years as his secret lover, Jian Nian had won neither his heart nor his love.
When his first love returned, she finally understood: Shen Yanci wasn’t cold-hearted. He simply didn’t love her!

he pinned her against a wall, the corners of his eyes red, and begged her carefully, “Niannian, I’m yours, body and soul. I’d even give you my life. Please don’t leave me, all right?”
Jian Nian smiled brightly. “President Shen, mind your place. Don’t get in the way of my wedding!”

The male and female leads are too pretentious.
Good recommendations, especially those that are a bit angsty.
