Lin Ruan, male, 22, a freshly graduated internet operations intern.
Born with almond-shaped eyes and under-eye pouches, pale skin, and a soft, delicate voice, he had the whole company assuming he was a woman during his online interview. By the time he showed up for his first day in person, the misunderstanding was set in stone.
He was assigned to the women’s dorm, added to the women’s group chat, personally mentored by his gentle team leader, who treated him like a little sister, protected by his bold supervisor as if he were her own little sister, and mistaken for the energetic designer’s very best friend.
Every day, he advanced at work while dying of embarrassment, all the while being doted on in turn by four older women with completely different personalities.
Only the cool-headed HR director, who had known the truth from the start, watched the farce grow increasingly out of hand in quiet silence, coffee in hand…
(Sweet, heartwarming daily life, 1V4, everyone caught up in a misunderstanding, no angst)
A lot of the content focuses on work-related aspects, with too little on emotional aspects; it feels like watching an operations training course.
Simple and warm, but gender should not be blurred.
What kind of workplace succubus is this? I'll give it five stars first.
