My Boss Is Actually My Ex-Boyfriend

Stoic on the outside, warm-hearted and devoted on the inside x pampered, stubborn little troublemaker

Two years ago, Lin Mian and Lu Chen were a perfect couple, admired by all.

After his green-tea friend maliciously framed him, Lin Mian's graduation project became embroiled in a plagiarism scandal. Overnight, the academic genius everyone envied became a plagiarizing dog everyone despised, mired in disgrace.

Faced with a storm of abuse, Lin Mian didn't try to clarify or defend himself first. Instead, he frantically searched for Lu Chen, who had gone missing. Anyone could doubt him, but not Lu Chen.

But then he saw Lu Chen embracing the green-tea friend from behind. Every call he made to Lu Chen went unanswered. Lin Mian quietly deleted Lu Chen's contact information and boarded the plane his family had arranged to take him abroad.

After Lin Mian left, the school issued a statement clearing his name. The school forum and website were instantly flooded with apologies. But Lin Mian had already left and never saw any of it.

Everyone lamented the academic genius's departure. Only Lu Chen knew that when Lin Mian left, his heart had flown away with him.

Two years later, Lin Mian returned to the country quietly, coming back to the place that had once left him battered and bruised.

He hid his return from his father and took an internship at an obscure little company. On his first day, he discovered that his direct supervisor was none other than Lu Chen.

The day after starting work, Lin Mian handed Lu Chen his resignation. But Lu Chen, usually so composed and gentle, slammed him down onto the sofa.

Lin Mian was about to struggle when he heard a hoarse voice at his ear, full of barely restrained pain and excitement.

"You've finally come back."

"...Please don't leave me again, okay?"

1. Both leads are devoted only to each other. Sweet romance.

2. This is a casual writing exercise in my spare time. I can't promise daily updates without a backlog, so please go easy on me.

Upcoming novel

Trapped by the Obsessive Male Lead After Transmigrating into a Book as a Villainous Male Side Character

Chi Le transmigrates into a book as its wicked male side character.

At first, he lives arrogantly and looks down on the wheelchair-using male lead. He breaks off their engagement,

then abuses and tramples on the male lead in every way, bringing him down to the dirt.

Later, he ends up dead in the street, his eyes gouged out by the male lead and the tendons in his hands and feet severed.

Chi Le: That's awful. Just awful.

But when he arrives, the original owner is grabbing the male lead by the collar, preparing to humiliate him for the Nth time.

Chi Le: ...Can I still apologize to the male lead? I beg you, I'll get on my knees.jpg

To save his own skin, Chi Le desperately tries to make "himself" look better.

Under the male lead's cold, venomous gaze, he grabs the man's clothes with both hands and tears them off.

"Clothes this cheap and tasteless are no fit for a young master like me."

Then he turns his back and tosses out a black card, putting on an especially condescending air.

"Take this. Go to XXX and give them my name. Don't embarrass me."

Male lead: ...

After finding a renowned doctor who can cure the male lead's legs, he says dismissively:

"I don't need anyone holding me back."

When the male lead's awful relatives gang up on him, he steps forward imperiously:

"He's my person, Chi Le's person. Who do you think you are to lay a hand on him?"

When the male lead is mistreated by his stepmother, Chi Le takes him home and makes sure he's well fed and cared for.

"You're skin and bones. People will think the Chi family is going bankrupt."

Then the male lead's gaze at Chi Le grows more and more "warm and friendly."

Chi Le: The plan is working. All I need now is a loving, happy protagonist receiving.

Reborn, Fu Lin plans to take his time tormenting Chi Le.

Just after being reborn: I'll sever his tendons. Let the young master experience my life for once.

One month after being reborn: The young master's frightened expression is kind of cute.

Later, after Chi Le drives away the awful relatives,

Fu Lin: You said I'm your person?

Chi Le: Are you trying to break off our engagement?

Later still, Fu Lin moves into the Chi family home, then moves into Chi Le's room.

Chi Le refuses: That's not proper.

Fu Lin: I'm your person.

Chi Le: ...

Fu Lin thinks the young master is so obedient that he can let go of his plans for revenge.

That is, until Chi Le tries to push him toward someone else.

Chi Le, who failed to run away and is trapped in a villa: I can explain!

Fu Lin pins him in a corner, listening to the bell chime as he smiles with cold obsession.

"Young master, every time you push someone toward another person, I'll send you to jail. How many people do you have left, hmm?"

"Run again, and I'll sever your tendons."

A foolish beauty x a ruthless, unhinged obsessive

The male lead uses a wheelchair at first, but his legs will be cured later.

Theme: People should persevere through hardship and adversity.
