Pinning My Celibate Boss Down on the Desk

Yu Shu, twenty-four years old, comes from a wealthy family and has a screw loose. He was pushed into a job as an assistant at his family's company.

His boss, He Zhilan, is a cold-faced demon, a workaholic, and the person in the entire company who hates nepotism the most.

Yu Shu's first week at work:

He deleted an important department bid proposal, sent a copy of the employee handbook to a client as if it were a contract, and scheduled an online meeting for the middle of the night.

He Zhilan called him into his office. "Do that one more time, and I'll have HR reassess your probation."

Yu Shu: ...Whoever wants this job can have it!

A coworker leaned over. "Brother Shu, Director He doesn't like women. Why don't you try seducing him?"

Yu Shu: ? ...I guess I wouldn't mind having a little fun.

And so Yu Shu began his journey of doing stupid things until he got himself killed: he brought He Zhilan coffee, but He Zhilan wouldn't drink it; brought him hot porridge, but He Zhilan wouldn't eat it; ran into him at the gym, but He Zhilan walked around him.

Yu Shu: This guy has no heart.

Until one day, Yu Shu overheard He Zhilan on the phone, sounding embarrassed. "There is someone I've been seeing a lot lately..."

Yu Shu's eyes widened in shock: He's secretly in love with me!

From that day on, Yu Shu had just one thought in his head: He Zhilan loves me, but he's holding back and keeping it under control. I have to save him from his suffering.

He Zhilan frowns = lovesick and unable to get what he wants.

He Zhilan sighs = holding back and keeping himself in check.

He Zhilan's ears turn red = completely head over heels.

Yu Shu: I've got him figured out.

Only later did Yu Shu learn the truth:

He Zhilan wasn't really cold. He was just afraid.

And he wasn't secretly in love with Yu Shu. He was avoiding him.

Years ago, Yu Shu had been called the son of a mistress. He remembered the face of the person who said it and asked two friends to go teach that person a lesson.

"Look this person up for me and embarrass him."

He gave them a photo. His friends took the key, opened the door, and took a picture.

They'd only meant to beat the guy up.

They didn't know that the man had brought He Zhilan back to the dorm that night.

They didn't know that photo would ruin someone's life.

Yu Shu didn't know that years later, he'd fall in love with He Zhilan.

He'd shield him from drinking, beat people up for him, and stand up for him.

He thought he was protecting him.

He didn't know he was the one who had started it all.

He'd made He Zhilan suffer for over a decade.

Now, it was his turn to hurt himself.

Early on: Clowning around and courting death x pretending to be devoted

Later: Secret identity revealed x genuinely falling in love

Spoiled, silly top x cold, abstinent bottom

1v1, happy ending. The top's journey of courting disaster is just getting started.

Theme: Face life bravely and become your true self.
