[Dual Male Leads + Bearish Hunk + Muscles Under a Soft Layer + Mutual Pining + Healing + Workplace] Lin Xiaoman, a gifted screenwriter and director from a rural background, lands a job at Xinghe Entertainment, a top film and television company, fueled by his sincere love of cinema. On his very first day, he finds himself “targeted” by Lu Ze, the stern department manager. Terrified of being “worked to the bone,” he can only vent to an anonymous user called “BMW” on the social app Bilin. What he doesn’t know is that the person on the other side of the screen is none other than his intimidating boss, Lu Ze.
Thus begins a mutual crush built on misunderstandings. Lu Ze gradually falls for him, holding back his feelings at every step, while Lin Xiaoman anxiously tries to do his job despite believing he’s being singled out. He is repeatedly bullied by senior colleagues, and his script is stolen and used to frame him. He stumbles through the setbacks, learning and growing along the way. With Lu Ze’s covert protection and his own hard work, he steadily hones his screenwriting and directing skills, eventually turning the tables with an original script and proving his talent and ability.
As their paths cross at work again and again, misunderstandings mingle with sparks of attraction. They go from strangers keeping their distance to gradually getting to know each other, while their contrasting personalities and concealed feelings give rise to an ever-growing romantic tension. When Lin Xiaoman finally realizes how deeply Lu Ze cares for him, and Lu Ze breaks free of his inner restraints to approach him, they at last admit their feelings and begin a cautious secret relationship at the company, embarking on another round of sweet yet nerve-racking flirtation. In the end, Lin Xiaoman transforms into a confident professional, while his sunny nature helps Lu Ze heal and emerge from years of loneliness. Together, they face workplace rumors and family opposition, protecting the hard-won love they share.
