After Taking the Fall, I Joined Forces with the Overbearing CEO to Crush the Workplace Conspiracy

Career comeback + domineering CEO has her back + corporate intrigue + satisfying revenge

Framed by a wily coworker as a “data traitor,” rookie Su Xiaoman thinks she’s about to be fired. Instead, the cold-faced CEO Lu Jingshen unexpectedly gives her a chance to “make up for her mistake.” Thanks to her incredible habit of keeping “three backups” and her data-tracing skills, she plants a hidden code for a counterattack in the proposal, only to discover that the setup was part of a rival company’s infiltration plot!

Lu Jingshen, the ruthless CEO rumored to have risen to power by shorting companies, slips her an encrypted hard drive when the whole team ostracizes her, stays up all night tracing the data when it is tampered with, and even produces irrefutable evidence when she is slandered: “No one gets to tell my people what to do.”

When the workplace blame game escalates into a covert corporate war, Su Xiaoman wields data like a weapon while Lu Jingshen uses his power as a shield. She lays traps in plain sight and exposes the mole, while he makes his moves in the shadows and takes down their enemies. From reluctant partners to a perfectly matched team, they fight their way through the schemes of those who framed her, only to unexpectedly uncover each other’s hidden scars: he was once betrayed by someone he trusted, and she hit rock bottom after placing her trust in the wrong person.

“Mr. Lu, how do we get out of this one?”

“Get out of it?” He turns the lightning-shaped scar on his cuff, his eyes filled with an icy resolve. “We’ll smash right through.”

This is a satisfying revenge story about a rookie and a domineering CEO joining forces. Data is their blade, and their superior wits crush the opposition. Watch as the one who was framed becomes the one calling the shots, and see how the cold-faced CEO turns into a shamelessly overprotective softie, exposing the workplace’s dirty dealings while cherishing her as his greatest weakness.
