Lighthearted fantasy + modern wealthy families + cute characters + a gentle, adorable immortal man who protects her every step of the way. No angst, no revenge, just a healing little sweet romance.
Lin Lu is an overworked internet industry drone crushed by KPIs. Her only comfort is the pothos plant on her desk, until one day, after working overtime until midnight, she sees a little immortal man in a white dress emerge from its leaves. He shyly offers her a dewy leaf. “Master, drink this. It’ll make your headache go away.”
The little immortal man is Qingwu, who came from the pothos she has cared for over the past three years. He can sense her emotions and grow healing plants: mint tea when she works late, little daisies when her boss scolds her, and even glowing baby’s breath covering the balcony of her rental apartment.
Her coworkers tease her for being “so obsessed with plants she’s lost her mind,” until Qingwu protects her by shielding her from a falling billboard in the pouring rain, revealing his translucent green-vine wings.
Lin Lu hugs him, soaked through, and smiles. “From now on, I’ll take care of you. You don’t have to be my ‘overtime companion plant’ anymore.”
