Xia Zhixing never imagined that the “savior” who fell into her arms during her interview would turn out to be her future boss, Gu Yanchen.
An accidental touch when they first meet at work, his discreet rescue during a meeting, late-night snacks while working overtime, a heartbeat missed when their eyes meet at a team-building event… Their secret office romance begins in awkwardness and quietly heats up amid stolen moments of sweetness and hilarious mishaps. From confessing and embracing in a car on a rainy night to officially tying the knot, they think their love can overcome anything, never expecting marriage to bring so many “surprises.”
His mother’s domineering interference, petty arguments over the daily grind, and conflicts erupting under pressure to have a child gradually drive apart the couple who once couldn’t bear to be apart. Caught in the family turmoil, they drift further and further from each other, until the red marriage certificate is replaced by a green divorce certificate.
Life after divorce seems free, yet feels empty at every turn. He pores over their photos late at night, while she remembers the warm meals he used to bring her during overtime. The apologies they never voiced, the care hidden beneath their arguments, and the habits etched into their bones eventually make them understand: love isn’t about clinging to each other in the moment, but about choosing each other with conviction after weathering the rough patches.
When they meet again at work and find themselves entangled in family troubles once more, can they untie the knots of the past and recover the spark they once shared, turning from “divorced spouses” back into “clingy lovers”?
This is a realistic story of workplace flirtation, sweet romance, clashes with a mother-in-law, post-divorce reflection, and a desperate journey back to marriage. It captures the sweetness and pain, the closeness and understanding, of adult love.
