The Shy Beauty Falls for Her Archrival Online

[Modern City + Sweet Romance + Socially Anxious Heroine + Ice-Cold CEO + Online Romance Identity Reveal + Mutual Secret Crushes + Feel-Good Power Fantasy] Wen Ning is the most invisible socially anxious concept artist at her company. She blushes when she speaks, walks close to the walls, and has zero presence. Then she is forced into an arranged marriage with Gu Xiuyuan, the ice-cold CEO who just joined the company. It’s hell mode from the start! In real life, Wen Ning’s knees go weak whenever she sees Gu Xiuyuan. Even her “G-good morning” comes out like a mosquito’s buzz. Looking for comfort, she starts an online romance with a “gentle senior.” Every day, she coos at him over voice chat: “Big Brother, that ice-cold CEO glared at me again. He’s so mean and scary. Can I punch him with my tiny fists?” A low laugh comes from the other end. “Sure. When work’s over tonight, you can punch me as much as you like.” Wen Ning is so touched she could cry, convinced her online boyfriend is the gentlest person in the world. Then one day, she spots that familiar chat window in Gu Xiuyuan’s office. Wen Ning: “...” Gu Xiuyuan approaches unhurriedly. “Little thing, didn’t you say you wanted to punch me with those tiny fists? Go on, I’m waiting.” Wen Ning’s social anxiety flares up on the spot. She wants to vanish into thin air. Only then does the whole company realize that the way the ice-cold CEO looks at the shy little wallflower isn’t a glare at all. It’s hunger.
