All I Want Is a Paycheck, but the CEO Keeps Spoiling Me

[One-on-one romance + both leads are each other’s first and only + love grows over time + CEO + sweet romance + everyday life + not an overpowered wish-fulfillment story] [Cool exterior, warm hearted male lead + kind and innocent female lead]

When Jiang Shuiyun heard that her college classmate had married into a wealthy family, she was envious. But once they met, she saw what chasing money had cost her friend: the wife came knocking, the baby was lost, and the man who caused it all coldly sent her packing with nothing.

So much for marrying into a wealthy family. Better to rely on yourself than chase riches.

She focused on work, kept her head down, and worked overtime every day without overtime pay, all to earn a little money and make a living.

But she lost her job again!! She was in tears!

After several twists and turns, she joined the Bai Group…

It was one of Huacheng’s top three major companies, the kind even top university graduates struggled to get into. And somehow, she’d been hired through the back door.

But why did people keep trying to make her resign? She couldn’t lose this job! Not this time. She wasn’t letting go of this golden opportunity.

Her cousin kept making trouble for her. Turns out she wasn’t someone’s actual cousin!

He said, “You told people my mother gave you a betrothal token, and that you were going to marry me…”

Jiang Shuiyun looked guilty. “Who said that…?”

She’d only done it because she was desperate. Dropping his name had worked, hadn’t it?

It certainly had.

Now he wouldn’t let the matter go. “Then you’d better make good on what you said!!!”

Content warning: The male lead is rich and handsome, and lots of beautiful women like him, but he’s faithful. The heroine doesn’t know him well at first, and he may neglect her a little. Their love develops over time and gradually becomes sweet. There are various conflicts between the characters.
