[Humble Wage Slave × Aloof Superstar]
“Can you drive?”
At her interview, former top-tier star Xie Yikai throws out an odd question.
Wang Yi, a former HR employee turned career woman, steps on the gas and crashes straight into the entertainment industry’s open and hidden battles
He is a “hot potato” abandoned by investors; she is a “rookie agent” who came to the job by chance.
One wants to make a comeback, the other wants to prove her worth in the profession.
From “business collaboration” to “heartfelt companionship,”
he learns to rein in his edge for her, while she breaks the rules for him.
The heroine: On the surface, she is a rational wage slave who “keeps the money straight and gets the job done,” but deep down she is an idealist who wants “every soul to shine.”
Xie Yikai: He seems aloof, difficult, and picky about work, but at heart he is a hopeless romantic. He turns the words “you deserve it” from workplace patter into a declaration that makes her heart flutter.
This isn’t “a prince saving Cinderella,” but “a streetlamp and a star lighting each other up”
He teaches her to hold on to her original ideals amid fame and fortune; she teaches him to embrace tenderness in a high-pressure workplace.
When two “imperfect adults” learn to love each other in their own awkward way,
everything they deserve ultimately becomes “I’m willing.”
