Lu Ran is the star secretary in the president’s office at the Liu Group, a human Excel spreadsheet and a walking PowerPoint presentation. She keeps precise track of President Liu Yuze’s caffeine intake and lunch schedule. That is, until one day, she accidentally pours Blue Moon detergent into his priceless Blue Mountain coffee.
While Lu Ran is already drafting her resignation and rehearsing eight hundred different ways to die, the icy president, Liu Yuze, calmly downs the “cleaner special.” Then he grabs her wrist and gives her an order even more terrifying than firing her: “From today on, you have just one responsibility: be my live-in personal assistant, 24 hours a day.” Lu Ran’s inner voice goes wild: Help! Have his taste buds all collectively died, or is he trying to get revenge with this new form of torture called “round-the-clock surveillance”?! At the thought of facing that icy expression 24/7, from waking him up in the morning to bringing him warm milk at bedtime, Lu Ran feels her life turn bleak. And what’s even more terrifying is that the headhunter’s offer, hidden at the very bottom of her desk drawer and her ticket out of this misery, starts vibrating furiously in her pocket just as she’s been “promoted” to full-time nanny! On one side is an unpredictable, inscrutable president with seemingly defective taste buds, who “accidentally” collides with her and insists on keeping her close because she’s “important.” On the other is a promising job offer within easy reach, a lifeline that could get her out of this hellhole. Lu Ran stands at the crossroads of her life (and outside the president’s office), wailing inside: Can I please not be “important” to you?! This absurd workplace-and-life survival game, all sparked by one cup of “poisoned” coffee, is officially underway!
