[Flirtatious beauty x celibate factory director]
Cheng Zhi transmigrates into the brainless female supporting character from the contrasting group in an era novel. The moment she arrives, she spots a handsome man walking toward her and falls for him at first sight.
Hmm, he's tall and imposing in a suit, but with a refined, handsome face. His whole bearing is aloof and celibate. He looks like he must have a great body under those clothes...
He's also the director of this television factory. Isn't he straight out of a CEO romance?
At long last, a man who ticks every box on her list and perfectly matches her tastes. As a devoted reader of erotic novels, she can't let such high-quality fantasy material go to waste, so she starts writing.

Xu Shaonian has been troubled lately.
Strange handwriting has been appearing every day in the notebook he uses to record experimental data.
It looks like some girl's diary.
But the entire thing describes what he and she would do on their wedding night.
Xu Shaonian's face turns red as he reads. He quickly switches to a new notebook.
But whichever notebook he uses, her diary appears in it.
And the contents get more and more intense, until they turn into moving images.
The scene is from her point of view. His shirt is hanging half-off, the corners of his eyes are red, and the girl is sitting on top of him with a hand pressed to his chest...
The girl's clothes are unmistakably the work uniform issued by his factory.
So is she one of the factory employees?

That year, the nation held its first black-and-white television quality competition.
The factory wrote many entries for the competition, but Xu Shaonian wasn't satisfied with any of them.
While everyone was worrying about what to do, Cheng Zhi was still slumped in a corner of the meeting room, daydreaming.
Xu Shaonian: "Cheng Zhi, why don't you give it a try?"
A confused Cheng Zhi: "Huh? Me? Try what?"
Her friend quickly explained the situation. Cheng Zhi said, "Oh, write something? Sure, I'll try, but I can't promise it'll be any good."
Xu Shaonian smiled. "When it comes to writing, no one's better than you."
His smile gives Cheng Zhi the creeps. Why do I feel like he knows something?
But she hid those steamy fantasies about him so well. She's sure no one in the world has ever seen them.
But when some particularly daring positions show up, Cheng Zhi is left sobbing and starts to wonder: He couldn't have figured all that out on his own, could he?
No way. No way. No way!
