Lu Shixun, the talented new hire at Hengyu Technology, is an “android” in everyone’s eyes: flawless. Rational and clear-headed, with meticulous logic, she can control every variable in a project’s data, but she can’t control her obsessive feelings for her direct superior, Chen Mo.
No one knows that she holds a secret from a rainy night, buried deep in her heart. Months ago, she caught Chen Mo drunk and blacked out, her cool armor cast aside, and stayed with her through a humiliating night. But after sobering up, Chen Mo completely forgot the encounter, and forgot Lu Shixun, who had quietly protected her.
When they meet again, the gulf between their positions is impossible to miss. Chen Mo is a department manager in a senior role who always keeps things professional, while Lu Shixun is merely an ordinary new hire under her.
Lu Shixun hides her long-held obsession and folds her uniquely devoted affection into the little things of everyday life. She quietly picks up the slack for Chen Mo, shouldering her burdens and shielding her from every storm at work. The whole company assumes her thoughtfulness is simply a new hire’s respectful admiration for her boss. Only Lu Shixun knows that this deep love is a long-planned devotion meant for Chen Mo alone.
Bound by their superior-subordinate relationship, their age difference, and society’s judgment, Chen Mo initially puts up layer upon layer of defenses and deceives herself, never daring to face the stirrings in her heart. But Lu Shixun’s unwavering devotion and gentle protection, always there to catch her when she falls, day after day, finally shatter her restraint.
At last, Chen Mo realizes that what she thought was a first spark of attraction was really a long-overdue reunion after years apart.
Lu Shixun holds fast to her secret longing, quietly waiting for Chen Mo to fall for her and come to her.
But just as their mutual feelings begin to take root, a real storm arrives!!!
