[CEO bottom]× [secretary top] [younger man] [secret love] [Reborn] [happy ending] [pseudo-substitute]
Li Xiang has been secretly in love with his boss, Xiang Zhuo, for five years, maybe longer. He can’t remember anymore.
By the time he sees Xiang Zhuo’s body, his mind has already fallen apart. But Xiang Zhuo has left the company in his hands.
So, in order to fulfill Xiang Zhuo’s final instructions, he takes over the company Xiang Zhuo founded.
Three months later, he sponsors a college student whose face is exactly like Xiang Zhuo’s...
Not thinking clearly, he takes the student back to his villa, then realizes he’s made a terrible decision. He decides to stay away and avoid him.
Later, he finds that the student has suddenly changed. He carries traces of the person Li Xiang loves, and despite the pain, Li Xiang can’t help but investigate...
From the bottom’s perspective:
Xiang Zhuo dies in his villa one winter. He wrote his will long ago and arranged everything that would happen after his death.
He never expected to be reborn in the body of a college student named Jiang Yu, whose face is identical to his.
For various reasons, after being reborn, he decides to stay away from Li Xiang, his secretary in his previous life.
Needing proof of an internship, he gets a placement at the company of a friend from his previous life and takes part in a bidding project.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiang recognizes him. Xiang Zhuo has no choice but to flee to another city, unwilling to reveal his identity to Li Xiang.
But then Li Xiang has an accident. Xiang Zhuo inexplicably panics, and gradually begins to understand Li Xiang’s feelings for him...
(This is a writing exercise, and the logic is terrible. The bidding details are made up, and the romance may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Please go easy on me. If it’s not for you, leave right away and spare yourself!)
