Su Xiaotang’s life motto is just eight words: If you can lie down, never stand up.
After three years of slacking off at Mingyuan Group, she had turned herself into the perfect little cog: inconspicuous, mistake-free, and never stuck holding the bag. Then, one Friday night while working overtime, she inexplicably pushed open the CEO’s office door.
And saw
Lu Sinian, the cold-blooded tyrant who terrified the entire company, wiping away tears as he watched a magical girl on his screen. In his left hand was a glittering transformation wand, and beside his right hand lay a freshly written fanfic.
Their eyes met.
Su Xiaotang’s first thought: I’m done for. I’m going to lose my job.
Lu Sinian’s first thought: ...Could you help me get a limited-edition collectible figure?
The next day, Su Xiaotang was “exceptionally promoted” to executive assistant to the CEO. Double the salary, her own office, flexible hours. The catch was that she had to sign for her boss’s collectible deliveries, cover for him at board meetings, accompany him to cosplay at conventions, and nag him for updates whenever he couldn’t write his fanfic.
Su Xiaotang thought she was babysitting an overgrown child.
Until she realized that all the tenderness Lu Sinian couldn’t put into words was written into his stories, and all the distance he was afraid to cross was hidden in the gaps in his schedule.
What she didn’t know was that this man was quietly making room for her in that very schedule.
