[Soapy drama / sweet romance / no split personalities / each arc stands alone] [Looks like she’s winning them over, but they’re really winning her over]
The Grand Secretary, the general, the regent, a poor scholar, the emperor, scions of great families... So many handsome men have gathered here today.
Ming Yan: Thanks, but no thanks. I’m a workaholic with no game. There’s no way I can win them over.
Ming Yan works for Fengyun Corporation, which recently launched a project called “Live the Dream: Win Your Perfect Lover.” As one of the company’s corporate drones, she’s been entrusted with a major assignment and sent into five exploratory scenarios.
For Ming Yan, a poor soul whose daily 996 grind has left her with a work-related case of being aromantic and asexual, pursuing men is a daunting task she’d rather avoid.
But her boss is a jack-of-all-trades who has studied employee psychology, serves as president of the workplace bullying association, and even holds a certificate in selling employees on impossible promises. In the end, tempted by a raise, paid time off, a year-end bonus, and company-funded dating all at once, Ming Yan takes yet another step toward capitulating to capitalism.
But wait...
Watching one target after another fall for her, Ming Yan asks in bewilderment, “Wait! When did I become your unattainable first love?”
