The story is complete! Please add my next novel, Unspoken, to your to-read list. The blurb is at the bottom.
Blurb:
A polished gentleman in public, a shameless big bad wolf in private × A clever, gorgeous, theatrical woman who believes men only get in the way of making money
How can a young person spend twenty fewer years slogging away in the workplace?
Some people are born into the right family. Others just dream about it.
Dong Xixi takes a bold, unconventional approach: she pretends she has already put in twenty years of hard work.
She even puts on makeup to look middle-aged, then cultivates a workplace persona as someone who dresses dowdily but gets things done, and acts flamboyantly yet can be trusted. Everyone calls her Big Sis Dong.
But sooner or later, the truth comes out. One day, she gets caught by her boss while dancing at a music festival in a pretty little dress.
With one hand in his pocket, the man scowls and paces around the room seven or eight times before finally calming down. He narrows his eyes at her. "Big Sis Dong?"
Dong Xixi, feeling guilty, says, "I... just wanted to put the boss's wife at ease."
The man grits his teeth and murmurs, "No need. I'm not interested in the grass growing close to home."
Fair enough. Her boss is handsome and well-built. He could have anyone he wanted, so he probably can't be bothered to give her a second glance.
But once you've made yourself the queen bee, why go back to being a clueless rookie?
Dong Xixi keeps dressing like a frump at work and looking gorgeous after hours, thriving at the company.
Until one day, she mistakes the group chat name and sends a message meant for her family to the company-wide chat.
First, a photo of her hand with a mosquito bite. Then a coquettish message: [It hurts. Only a kiss from the most handsome guy in this group can make it better.]
Who would dare claim that? Everyone jokes around for ages, until at last the man with the best credentials appears: [Give me your hand.]
Dong Xixi and everyone else: !!!
Did Mr. Liang drink some fake liquor?
*
Liang Yi realizes that his newly hired assistant is a complete drama queen.
In front of other men, she's sometimes a cool beauty, sometimes a sweet little princess.
But whenever she's around him, she turns old and dowdy.
So she's not guarding herself against a wolf. She's guarding herself against him?
Liang Yi laughs in exasperation. Very well.
*
Everyone at the company knows Mr. Liang is a refined gentleman, mild-mannered and courteous.
To put a stop to office gossip, he even hired a female assistant who was old and dowdy.
Everyone thinks Big Sis Dong acts like the boss's chief eunuch.
Until one day, Assistant Ning returns and happens to see Dong Xixi's office door open. The boss walks out, his collar loosened, suspicious red smears on his lips, and the faint imprint of a slap on his right cheek.
The man licks his bitten lip and glances up coolly. "What are you looking at? Never seen a married couple fight?"
P.S.:
1. The heroine is initially on temporary assignment, so she can keep her secret identity hidden. She'll be exposed in front of the hero in the first few chapters. The hero is five years older.
2. The hero has a secret crush. Both leads are each other's first and only true love, though they have each had brief relationships before. One-on-one romance, happy ending.
3. The workplace plot serves the romance. Sweet and affectionate, with no angst.

Blurb for my next novel, Unspoken:
A delicate celebrity who has loved handsome men and been bold enough to chase them all her life × A gentle but formidable business magnate with a slightly fatherly streak
Ling Luo was the little princess of the Lu family for fourteen years, and Lu Shenshan's little shadow for just as long. That summer, Lu Shenshan went abroad to study, and she was suddenly told that she'd been switched at birth. The unlucky girl returned to her birth family and took her rightful place.
Ten years later, they meet again.
She's a nobody of an actress, taken by her director to a banquet to meet an influential patron.
And Lu Shenshan, freshly returned from abroad, is such a big shot that even the patron is eager to please him.
Her identity as a Lu family heiress was false, but she believes the sibling bond between her and Lu Shenshan is real, truer than the scriptures Tang Sanzang brought back.
So when she's drunk, she clings to his leg, calls him "Big Brother," and coquettishly begs to go home with him.
The guests whisper among themselves. Who would've thought such a young woman would be so good at seducing men?
After the banquet, Lu Shenshan carries Ling Luo home in front of everyone's eyes.
--
Chen Jun has followed Lu Shenshan for seven years, but he's never been as terrified as he is now.
The tall man stands in the doorway. Every word he utters is heavy with menace. "Chen Jun, you'd better know what you're saying."
Chen Jun looks at his boss, who's still in his pajamas and seems to have just gotten out of the shower, and nearly bursts into tears. "It's absolutely true! She's your sister, Lu Yike. She only changed her name to Ling Luo ten years ago!"
The man falls silent for a long while, then looks at him again and warns him in a low voice:
"Don't let anyone know that I didn't recognize her."
--
With Lu Shenshan doting on her as her big brother, Ling Luo can do whatever she wants in show business.
But it's a real shame that at twenty-four, she still hasn't found those eight abs she can use as a slide.
So she calls her childhood friend, who's handsome and well-built, and says it's time to make good on their childhood game of house.
The hotel room they've arranged is dark.
Ling Luo gropes her way to the man on the sofa and boldly pinches his abs twice. "Wow, you've been working out!"
The next instant, a familiar masculine scent mixed with the faint smell of tobacco drifts into her nose. Ling Luo's heart pounds, and she stumbles backward.
In the darkness, the man exhales a puff of smoke. His deep brown eyes narrow, filled with icy menace. "What, Keke doesn't like them?"

The one you love is right beside you, yet you cannot confess your feelings.
Theme: Work hard and keep striving
The male protagonist doesn't care about what the female protagonist thinks at all, and the way he pursues her can be called harassment. If you remove the filter of being handsome and rich, it can be called obscene and perverted. Moreover, the two of them have misunderstandings without explaining it. The forced indoctrination makes people's foreheads wrinkle, and the method of proposing is also disgusting. After two months of dating, he forced a proposal, completely regardless of whether the female protagonist is willing, or even The most disgusting thing about a man is that he insults, belittles and flirts with the heroine in front of his colleagues in order to propose marriage. The terrible thing is that the hero has insulted the heroine in public more than once. This is not far away. It can be regarded as a willing fight. Because he verbally harassed the heroine in front of his colleagues, the heroine learned that it was his birthday late at night after the quarrel, so she rushed over and forgot to fix her clothes. He actually regarded this as a constant invitation? It is clear that the heroine has psychological shadow due to sexual harassment in the workplace. When she first fell in love with her, she said that she would protect her, but as she went on, she became more greasy and vulgar, which made people feel very uncomfortable. The male protagonist's cousin resorted to various means to hurt the female protagonist, insulting the female protagonist and making the scene known to everyone. The female protagonist cleverly fought back and made the matter even bigger. The male protagonist actually thought that the female protagonist was causing trouble for him in the middle. If his cousin hadn't hired a murderer to hurt someone, he wouldn't have killed his cousin at all. After a quarrel, they would just disappear, drink, and have fun, never wanting to fundamentally solve the problem. Therefore, the character of the heroine is obviously the darling of the group, and she has shaped so many people in the family so well. Why does she not go to work at home but go out to work? It is not normal. Not only does she feel wronged and harassed when working for others outside, but she is reluctant to resign. In fact, she also feels for the male protagonist in her heart. But he is both serious and independent. On the surface, it is for work, but in fact, he just wants to maintain this ambiguous relationship. Although he is enjoying it, he still pretends to be reserved. He says that he does not believe in love and will not get married, but there is no reason to stand up. Inexplicably, after admitting that he is in love, he looks helpless after admitting that he is in love. I can only say that the portrayal of the male and female protagonists in this book failed very, very, very badly. Their characters were full of bugs and inconsistent. Their love has always felt like it was just for fun, and this marriage is also a doomed failure, because the two of them don't know how to manage at all, and they are not willing to take the initiative to work together for each other. They are rigid and stubborn. Real love is not about catering to each other's preferences and tastes, but that although we have our own favorite foods and disliked foods, we can still sit at the same table and eat happily. The management of a relationship is not about meeting and kissing each other after a quarrel, or making up after one party shows weakness. It is about calming down after the quarrel, actively communicating with each other, clarifying misunderstandings, and integrating the two souls step by step. If every quarrel is resolved by vague means, then these accumulated emotions will turn into thorns. By the time these thorns are discovered, they will have grown into a strong fence, severely separating the two people, and this fate will be completely over!
The female protagonist has a childish temper, while the male protagonist... Is a bit chauvinistic
This article is updated daily at 8:08 pm. If something happens, I will ask for leave~
Please collect the next book "Unmarried, But Have a Husband". This one has a big dog hook and an anxious and aggressive little one. It's super sweet!
Can you please stop inking? If this continues, I feel like I'm about to give up on writing.
Alas, I suddenly felt that I don't want this male protagonist.
Dong Xixi is the most over-the-top person. She is quite paranoid. She is a little considerate of Liang Yi, but she is still angry with him. In the long run, any more love will be wiped out. She is really willful and has always been a girlfriend. She has always given her heart and soul. She really doesn't take it too seriously. She doesn't know her boyfriend's birthday and gets angry at every turn. Sometimes she is really unreasonable. As a bystander, she is very angry. It is not easy for Liang Yi to persist until now.
The male protagonist is really... Well, it's not easy for women in the workplace.
I'll completely lose my horse tomorrow~
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hurry up to remove your makeup and make them beautiful to death
Let Xixi make a shining appearance and dazzle everyone!
