Lu Tingyuan is a CEO who has studied romance novels about domineering executives inside and out. He firmly believes that “being domineering is the ultimate expression of love.” Then he meets the woman fate has chosen for him: Su Xiao, the company’s new legal intern.
He pins her against a wall in a dramatic confession, just as the script demands. She retaliates by mass-emailing the company A Guide to Preventing Workplace Harassment, complete with high-definition footage. He uses his connections to investigate her, and the next day the police show up to give him a friendly lesson: “Sir, violating a citizen’s personal information is a crime.” He wants to spend a fortune building her an amusement park, but the shareholders revolt, and the Project Risk Notice Su Xiao submits becomes the final straw.
Every page of Lu Tingyuan’s domineering-CEO playbook lands him squarely on the wrong side of the law. After a series of socially mortifying ordeals, including a public apology and community service, he finally sees the light and embarks on history’s most absurdly “compliant” pursuit of love. He fills out an application form before giving her a gift, follows the company’s OA process to ask her out, and even makes his confession sound like a statement of intent to cooperate.
Then a business crisis hits. Everyone is waiting for him to make a fool of himself, but they are stunned to see that the Lu who once only knew how to say “Make the sky fall and the Wang family perish” now has an arm around Su Xiao’s waist and calmly tells his rival, “Your conduct may violate Article X of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.”
Watch a classic domineering CEO learn the law and turn the Civil Code into his own one-of-a-kind guide to spoiling his wife!
