Xu Yuan is unemployed after graduating and gets by on part-time work. Obsessed with CEO romance stories, she fantasizes about a CEO dropping from the sky to give her a job.
Maybe at last, the heavens heard her wish.
At the annual dinner for one of her part-time jobs, she meets someone who shouldn't belong in her world: Meng Cheng, CEO of one of China's leading robotics companies.
At 188 centimeters tall, with a face as finely sculpted as a character model, he seems even more unreal than the male leads in dating sims!
After one night of losing control, Xu Yuan flees in a panic.
Who would've guessed he'd come looking for her himself and shove a dating contract at her: You took my first time, so be my girlfriend. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't survive in Yangcheng!
After becoming the CEO's girlfriend, Xu Yuan realizes he seems to have misunderstood something. Sometimes he's cautious and gentle, sometimes he uses threats and temptation, terrified she'll run away.
It dawns on her: Does the CEO think he's acting out a forced-love romance? Fine, she'll play along!
What she doesn't know is that Meng Cheng has never been pretending.
He uses his power just because he wants to keep this timid little flower locked in his arms.
But gradually, having her body isn't enough. Greedily, he wants her heart, too.
And so their daily life goes like this:
Meng Cheng: Do you love me?
Xu Yuan, her legs gone weak from his attentions, nods through her tears: I do!
Meng Cheng's gaze darkens: Hmph, don't think you can fool me. Even if you don't love me, you still can't leave me!
As a perk of this forced-love arrangement, Meng Cheng designs a top-of-the-line smart home robot named Xiaozhi for Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan casually posts a video of herself cooking with Xiaozhi online. It unexpectedly gains a million followers, making her an overnight sensation.
When the whole internet starts shipping her with Xiaozhi, the real CEO stares at the screen, jealousy churning inside him, and can no longer sit still: You film it, but not me? Who do you really love, it or me?
The heroine's description of the mentality of looking for a job is so real. I cried several times while reading it. I totally relate to it. Work is really difficult. I can't find the right major at all. I don't want to live every day. I feel like I'm dying. I don't dare to contact my college classmates. I used to love posting on Moments, but now I don't dare to do so. I feel very embarrassed. Oh, I completely relate to it.
It has a very sour feeling, it looks good, it looks beautiful to me
It's beautiful, I love watching it, I watch it every day😄
