She fussed over him for more than a month, but couldn't melt that block of ice. During her senior-year internship, she was assigned to the oral surgery department under Xu Jinzhi, the hospital's celebrated heartthrob and department director. When they meet again, Shen Tangxin dies of embarrassment on the spot. She regrets her reckless youth and just wants to switch mentors immediately. "Director Xu, I don't have much ambition. I'm lazy and not very bright. I'm afraid I'll ruin your reputation." The man is as sharp-tongued as ever, and completely unmoved. "I'd like to see what you're capable of if you try to ruin my reputation." Later, everyone at the hospital knows that Director Xu's little apprentice is his precious darling, and nobody is allowed to lay a finger on her. * After their long separation, Xu Jinzhi is the one fussing over Shen Tangxin. Shen Tangxin declares solemnly, "I really am here to study hard this time." "You weren't hoping to do anything else?" The man's gaze burns as if he's trying to seduce her. Her heart gives a little flutter. "What... else?" "Date me." * Before getting together with Shen Tangxin, Director Xu's daily routine: Surgery. On call. Out all night. After they start dating, Director Xu's routine: Hold on, I need to call Tangtang. I'm taking Tangtang shopping today. Tangtang's hungry. I'll go home and cook for her. A sweet-toothed beauty who loves handsome men x a reserved, jealous older guy. An experienced driver personally teaches a novice to drive (not really). Both are each other's first, sweet and easygoing romance. The story begins when they reunite. ★★★Important content warnings★★★ 1.

To avoid an arranged marriage and being saddled with the idle young master of the Xie family, Li Zhi tries every behavior men hate in a blind date. She wears heavy makeup and revealing clothes on their dates, but Xie Nanchen remains unmoved. She acts clingy and coquettish and makes a fuss, but he still doesn't seem annoyed. At an auction, she takes a fancy to a priceless pink diamond ring. Xie Nanchen says, "If you like it, buy it." Only when she sets her sights on the family home does he react. "A Chen, I really like this house. Can you put my name on the deed when we get married?" "..." Later, he proposes with the priceless pink diamond ring and the deed to his huge penthouse duplex. The deed has her name on it. Li Zhi: "..." Who am I? Where am I? Did I somehow end up in a domineering-CEO romance novel? 2.

To spur him on to work harder, Li Zhi deliberately praises the other man in front of him: "A man like Sixth Master is the real deal." The idle young master Xie narrows his eyes. The agarwood beads on his wrist scrape against the jade bamboo ornament turning in his hand, making a dull sound. He leans down, closing in dangerously. "Oh? Mrs. Xie thinks I'm not man enough?" Later, when Li Zhi is summoned by the big boss, she walks through the mysterious office door full of admiration and anticipation. A tall, slender figure stands before the floor-to-ceiling window, more familiar than anyone could be. The glossy black beads on his wrist have scented her pillow countless times.
