[Master of Bluffing × The Ultimate Intellectual Romantic]
When Xu Zhixia opens her eyes, she finds herself inhabiting the body of a villain's assistant in a business novel.
The original Xu Zhixia was clever and aloof, a corporate spy carefully trained by the Xu family. Her job was to get close to Shen Yanchuan, the man in charge of the Shen Group, and steal the secrets of its core project, “Lingxi.”
But the Xu Zhixia of today is merely a finance intern who has just received a notice that she's been made permanent and can't even understand code.
Faced with a screen full of project documents that might as well be written in another language, she decides to stop struggling. She may lack professional knowledge, but surely her talent for bluffing can save her.
And so, the Shen Group gradually finds itself facing a series of inexplicable situations.
Assistant Xu analyzes AI ethics with dark humor, and President Shen actually nods along. She presents a technical report as if it were a stock market recap, and the project team really does find a new direction. She spends every day worrying that her identity as a spy will be exposed, unaware that Shen Yanchuan saw through everything long ago.
At first, he only wanted to see what the pawn sent by the Xu family was up to. But then he discovered that watching her struggle to survive in the cracks was more entertaining than defeating his rivals.
Then “Lingxi” launches successfully, and an anonymous report reveals Xu Zhixia's entire identity.
She promptly leaves a resignation letter and flies to an island overnight, ready to begin a carefree retirement.
A month later, the doorbell rings.
Shen Yanchuan stands outside, travel-worn, his gaze falling on Xu Zhixia, who is holding a coconut.
“The company's crisis is over, and the mole has been dealt with.”
Xu Zhixia asks blankly, “So?”
Shen Yanchuan takes out a ring. “So, when are you coming back with me to get our marriage license?”
