The Quiet Hours

Lin Yufei's first love ended without a future. After the breakup, she was devastated and remained miserable and withdrawn. Just then, her calm, composed, warm, and restrained boss, Shi Yu'an, suddenly entered her life.

Torn between getting back together with her first love and starting a new life, she ultimately chose to move forward. But the pain of her last relationship still kept her from daring to begin another. Even though she was falling for Shi Yu'an, all she could do was silently admire him. When her close friend and colleague, Xu Xingwan, openly declared her feelings for Shi Yu'an, Lin Yufei had no choice but to suppress her own. Then she learned that Shi Yu'an opposed office romances. For all these reasons, she forced herself to give up on her secret crush, but the more she tried to bury her feelings, the stronger they became.

As they worked together on an AI product development project for elderly care, Lin Yufei and Shi Yu'an grew closer. But because of the company environment and Xu Xingwan's feelings, neither could confess. The two began a tentative, ambiguous dance of closeness and distance, until rumors and gossip about them started spreading.

To put an end to the rumors, Shi Yu'an chose to take a senior position at D&K. After he rejected her, Xu Xingwan went on a blind date with a rich heir and embarked on a life of wealth. Lin Yufei understood the gulf between her and Shi Yu'an in their upbringing and financial circumstances. She tried to end her secret crush, but failed once again. All she could do was set her feelings aside for now and let things take their course, while devoting herself to work. As she and Shi Yu'an spent their days together, they overcame their inner sensitivity and vulnerability and broke through the limits of their understanding, leading to a promotion and reconciliation in her family relationships.

After learning that Shi Yu'an was the heir to D&K, a company worth hundreds of billions, Lin Yufei was told to marry him as soon as possible and help him manage the company.

In the end, the two overcame every obstacle and got together. Lin Yufei became D&K's chairwoman, while Shi Yu'an worked behind the scenes, taking a step back from the spotlight.
