Lin Xi works herself to death after pulling an all-nighter, only to transmigrate into a cannon-fodder secretary with the same name in a melodramatic CEO novel she used to mock. In a few days, the CEO, Lu Tingyuan, is going to ship her off to Africa!
Facing her impossibly handsome, icy boss, who is destined to fall in love with the Cinderella heroine, Lin Xi acts humble to his face and tears into him in her head:
[You have a stomachache and you’re still drinking coffee? You’re no good, but you sure love pushing your luck!]
[Warning! The innocent-looking heroine is approaching with dark coffee!]
[Is that perfect V-line waist for real? Too bad he’s blind!]
To save her own skin, she puts her sharp tongue and people-pleasing instincts to work, scrambling to outdo everyone around the CEO while staying clear of every death flag.
What she doesn’t know is that Lu Tingyuan has been able to hear all her thoughts since the moment they met! This dull world has grown more interesting thanks to his secretary, whose inner and outer selves are completely at odds. Her spoiler-filled snark has also made him realize that he is a character in a book.
And so…
When Lin Xi inwardly groans about coffee coming her way, Lu Tingyuan “happens” to step aside and dodge it perfectly.
When Lin Xi envies his great physique, Lu Tingyuan “accidentally” unbuttons his suit jacket.
When Lin Xi complains that skipping breakfast serves him right for getting a stomachache, a bowl of stomach-soothing porridge “appears” on the table.
Lin Xi: Has the CEO been acting buggy lately? Have I suddenly gotten ridiculously lucky?
Lu Tingyuan: Listening to her thoughts and secretly feeding her is fun.
#An icy CEO on the outside, an obsessive eavesdropper on people’s thoughts in private#
#I’m desperately trying to stay alive while you secretly pull the strings#
A hilarious, sweet romance sparked by one-sided mind-reading quietly begins.
A short story!
So pretty, so pretty
