Help! My New Boss Is a Jerk, and He's My Ex-Husband

Back in college, Li Shiqing was Xiao Heyun’s whole world, his one ray of light.

After they married, she extinguished that light with her own hands. Her reason was simple: “I’m bored.”

She thought it would set her free, never realizing it would become a thorn in Xiao Heyun’s heart that he could never pull out.

Four years later, a corporate takeover binds them together once again.

He is the wealthy new boss who has returned.

She is a project manager at the bottom of the company, her position hanging by a thread.

Everyone assumes she’s in for trouble, and Li Shiqing prepares herself for him to “settle a personal score.”

He does come for her: he puts her in charge of the hardest project, makes her work late into the night, and mercilessly rejects her proposal in a meeting.

Just as she begins to fall for him, he pulls away coldly. “Li Shiqing, don’t flatter yourself. I just don’t want dead weight in my company.”

The wishes on their old bucket list come true one by one, and the misunderstandings from years ago are gradually cleared up.

It turns out he never left. He simply found another way to love her, more deeply than ever.

Li Shiqing: “Xiao Heyun, can we… go back to how we were?”

Xiao Heyun pins her against the wall, his eyes burning with years of repressed madness. “Go back? Li Shiqing, from the day you said you were bored four years ago, we could never go back.”
