A cool and aloof bottom who’s actually hilarious and sharp-tongued VS a stubborn top who makes up his own mind about everything (with a huge change in their dynamic later on)
There’s always an opening for Lu Yibai’s secretary. After twenty-two resignations, the entire office is terrified of the job.
Lin Yu becomes the twenty-third “unlucky soul.” He calmly hands over his work plan, while his mind races: At this rate, is getting fired some kind of workplace survival challenge?
He handles every document flawlessly and schedules meetings down to the last detail, all while grumbling to himself: Lu Yibai is even harder to please than a cat. But Lu Yibai mistakes all this thoughtfulness for hidden affection. He frowns and avoids Lin Yu when he comes close, then mocks him coldly whenever he tries to be nice, convinced he’s just another pursuer hoping to climb the ladder.
Just as Lu Yibai finally gets used to having someone so dependable around, Lin Yu suddenly disappears with all the money he’s saved up.
In the now-empty office, Lu Yibai experiences panic for the first time. Without that familiar figure working away in the corner, without the occasional silent grumbling, he finally realizes that the tenderness he’d misunderstood has quietly taken root in his heart. And so begins a frantic quest to win Lin Yu back.
Early on, Yibai: “Don’t get any ideas about me. I’d never fall for you.”
Midway, Yibai: “Actually, I’d be fine with an Alpha-Beta relationship.”
Later, Yibai: “Honey, don’t go.”
