Lin Xingci died of overwork.
That's right. A conscientious employee who worked himself to the bone, he finally ended his miserable life on a dark and stormy night after working at high intensity for a whole month.
But fate didn't seem ready to let him go. Only after dying did Lin Xingci learn that he was in a danmei romance novel about winning someone's heart.
The male lead was his awful, hellish boss, Xie Linzhou. The love interest was a transmigrator who had come to win him over: the assistant who had started work just a month earlier.
But the love interest didn't seem very good at the job. He kept making Xie Linzhou furious, and in the end, all the blame landed on the lowly employees like them.
After reading the plot, Lin Xingci was so furious he nearly died all over again.
Do you even know how to be an assistant?!

Fortunately, fate gave him a chance to start over. He never expected that when he opened his eyes again, he'd be back more than a month earlier.
The company wouldn't hire an assistant for another half month, and Lin Xingci made up his mind on the spot: I'm applying!
So he studied the guidebook, The Top Assistant's Handbook, for half a month. He finally beat the love interest and got the job as Xie Linzhou's assistant.
Great! I'll take good care of my boss! I can't let everyone keep working overtime!
After starting work, Lin Xingci paid special attention to his boss's mood, bringing him tea and water and taking care of his every need.

Xie Linzhou was very pleased with his new assistant. But after a while, he began to feel that the assistant had some improper intentions toward him.
"Mr. Xie, is there anything you've been enjoying lately?"
"As long as Mr. Xie is happy, that's all that matters."
Could he be in love with me?
Xie Linzhou kindly reminded him, "Assistant Lin, you don't need to have any other ideas about me. Just do your job."
Lin Xingci slowly typed out a question mark.
I really, really just want to be a good assistant!
A slightly goofy CEO who convinces himself he's being pursued x An optimistic, sunny assistant who just wants to do his job
Not based on any real people!! This should be a lighthearted, funny little sweet story. The assistant's work stress before he died of overwork was the transmigrator's fault!
