Later, after gaining the ability to hear her thoughts, he discovers he's merely a tool for extending his life. The female lead possesses a system, later transforming into a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Earlier in the story, she's incredibly powerful. The male lead suffers from amnesia for a period, believing the female lead is his girlfriend; she's clingy and incredibly sweet. Interesting and sweet. 3. **President & Secretary:** The female lead tries to get the male lead to fire her by claiming she likes him, but instead fails and their relationship deepens… good and sweet. 4. **President & Secretary:** The female lead frequently goes on blind dates. The male lead wants her to go on one with him, but she says she wants someone who knows how to manage a household. Haha, good and super sweet. 5. **General Manager, Vice President & Rookie Newcomer, Marketing Director:** This book is quite realistic. It features superiors stealing credit from subordinates and making subordinates take the blame for mistakes. The female lead is a character who grows and is essentially mentored by the male lead, gradually rising to the top. Initially, the male lead treats her like a newcomer to the workforce. Sweet, with a touch of workplace bitterness, and memorable. 6. CEO & Motherly Assistant: The male lead's life is chaotic without the female lead. He's always losing things or needing cold medicine. The female lead feels like a mother hen, wanting to quit due to family pressure to get married. The male lead offers himself up. Good-looking, sweet. 7. Imaginary CEO & Secretary: The imaginative male lead is convinced the female lead is head over heels in love with him and has ulterior motives. He tries to find evidence to prove her feelings, only to discover he's the one hopelessly in love. Good-looking, super sweet. 8. Rebellious CEO & All-Around Secretary: The male lead was a former e-sports player who retired and inherited the family fortune. The female lead was hired by his family to assist him in managing the company and also to ensure he works properly. She disguises herself as an ordinary-looking person and adopts a rigid, robotic work persona. "What does it matter to me if I'm ugly at get off work?" So, the male lead sees his serious and rigid secretary, now alluring and graceful, dancing wildly on the dance floor amidst the bright lights and bustling crowd. So beautiful, so sweet! 9. Busy CEO & Professional Assistant & Substitute: What to do when you wake up in bed with your boss? The female lead immediately submits her resignation. The female lead misunderstands that the male lead's white moonlight has returned to the country, so the male lead uses a scheme to trick the female lead into becoming a substitute under a contract, showing off his love to his white moonlight. But in reality, the male lead's white moonlight is only the female lead. So sweet, so good! 10. Stupid CEO & Stunning Vice President & Cold Dessert Shop Owner: The male and female leads marry and divorce, and the male lead experiences a wife-chasing frenzy. The female lead has feelings, but the male lead, being an idiot, doesn't appreciate them and harbors resentment towards the marriage. When they divorce, the male lead's childhood sweetheart returns to the country, and everyone thinks the male lead is interested in her. After the divorce, the male protagonist's brain gradually dried up. Realizing how good the female protagonist was, this ex-husband would frequently show up at her shop to try and get her attention. He initially thought marriage was a shackle and divorce a liberation, but ultimately discovered that even if marriage is a grave, he would gladly enter it with the one he loves. In the beginning of the book, I felt very sorry for the female protagonist, feeling the male protagonist was irresponsible. But following the typical melodramatic trope, the ending was still a reconciliation! So I can only wish them well. The novel is still good; it's not as sweet as the others, but a little angst is enjoyable.
