Lin Wan lives by just one principle: professionalism. The company’s youngest department manager, she has climbed the ranks with exceptional skills and meticulous conduct, cutting through workplace challenges without breaking a sweat. Then the new president, Lu Jingshen, arrives out of nowhere. The good news: President Lu is young, successful, handsome, and highly capable, practically a walking bundle of hormones. The bad news: Why is the way he looks at her getting stranger and stranger? At their first meeting, President Lu praises her in front of everyone: “Calm and capable, a rare talent.” Lin Wan thinks, The boss has a good eye. At their second meeting, President Lu singles her out to stay late and “discuss business.” Lin Wan thinks, The boss is a workaholic. After the Nth meeting, President Lu corners her in the break room, smiling innocently. “Manager Lin, I’ve realized the coffee you make tastes better than the secretary’s.” Lin Wan: “...President Lu, I made instant coffee.” Lin Wan thinks she’s simply found a boss who “appreciates talent,” but Lu Jingshen is treating the office like a hunting ground. From morning greetings to lunch invitations, from work advice to late-night rides home, his attentions are everywhere, making even a seasoned workplace veteran like her question her sanity. Worse, this man may be her direct superior, but he can always find the softest corners of her heart. His gaze, his smile, his seemingly casual touches are all quietly chipping away at the defenses she has built. As the risk of their office romance being discovered skyrockets and their colleagues’ gossip radar locks onto them, Lin Wan just wants to scream at the sky: “President Lu! Could you act like a normal person for once? Stop flirting with me!”
