Lin Xiaoxiao, a pet funeral director, lives by one rule: If I can crack jokes fast enough, grief can’t catch up with me.
Then, at a party, she crashes straight into the cold-faced CEO Gu Yanzhi, with her five-year-old drama queen of a daughter in tow and a corgi that loves nothing more than humping the legs of domineering CEOs. She even throws in a 20% discount card for pet funeral services.
Determined to uncover the truth about the child’s parentage, Gu Yanzhi moves himself into the little home Lin Xiaoxiao shares with her daughter. His life promptly falls apart: the corgi pees on his designer suit, the little girl gives him a live tutorial on “Thirty-Six Ways to Win Your Wife Back,” and he attends an international meeting dressed in matching dinosaur outfits with his daughter...
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxiao’s everyday life as a mom turns into a CEO makeover plan:
“Mr. Gu, your PowerPoint bedtime stories get a failing grade!”
“Daddy, your fried egg looks like a sad bald head!”
When the wealthy elite start applying pressure and a media storm hits, everyone expects to see Cinderella fall flat on her face. Instead, Lin Xiaoxiao turns the tide with a livestream about the dignity of life and becomes the internet’s beloved “Pet Funeral Queen.”
Gu Yanzhi, clutching the paternity test and red-eyed, blocks her at the door. “The child is mine?”
Lin Xiaoxiao smiles. “No, you’re mine. How about becoming Daddy the Intern, with a chance to go permanent?”
In one sentence: After divorcing with a child in tow, I became my ex’s boss and life coach.
