Ye Nian knows how to do nothing but study, but people here know how to do everything except study. Her "top student" label makes her stick out like a sore thumb. When a group of school thugs corners her, Yan Hao appears and stands in front of her. The boy grins recklessly and asks, "Good student, need a bodyguard?" Ye Nian says softly, "...I don't have any money." "Then you can owe me." Yan Hao finishes fighting them, then turns around to find she's already run off. He gives a self-mocking click of his tongue and is about to leave when Ye Nian comes hurrying back with the dean. She points at the people Yan Hao beat to the ground and says innocently, "Teacher, they were bullying me... and Yan Hao." The dean looks at the thugs with bruised and swollen faces, then at Yan Hao, who's standing there perfectly fine, and is utterly speechless. Yan Hao: "Will you be my girlfriend?" Ye Nian: "I can't date while I'm still in school, but I can try to fall for you." I run headlong through my youth, all for the sake of keeping our appointment. Coming soon 2: The Princess Royal Goes Viral by Overhauling the Workplace! In her previous life, Zhou Muyue was a powerful princess royal who could summon the wind and rain in the imperial harem and wield great influence at court. She never expected to wake up as an overworked corporate drudge. The original owner worked tirelessly to support her family, obediently putting up with everything. After seven years, all she'd managed to become was a team leader. Over the years, she'd taken the blame for her subordinates, shielded her coworkers, and covered for her boss. After working overtime for twenty-one days straight, her vision suddenly went black and she collapsed. After a round of emergency treatment in the ICU, she became Zhou Muyue. While Zhou Muyue is still lying in the hospital, she gets a call from the company. Boss: "Zhou Muyue, how much longer are you going to slack off? Are you working or not? If not, then get out!" Zhou Muyue furrows her brows slightly. "How dare you! Who gave you the gall to speak to me like that?" The boss instantly backs down and mutters, "I... Did I call the wrong number?" A new employee accidentally breaks a client's collectible, and the client demands two hundred million in compensation. Zhou Muyue cuts straight to the point: "That's a fake. Can't you even tell what's real and what isn't?" The client slinks away. The boss manipulates a long-time employee: "You've worked here for years and still haven't achieved anything. Can't you give the new people a chance?" Zhou Muyue casually fires back at the boss: "Exactly. So when are you going to step aside?" The boss tries to suppress Zhou Muyue, but she simply starts a new company, poaches all the key employees, secures billions in financing, and successfully takes the company public. Reporter: "Ms. Zhou, as the CEO of the company with the shortest time from founding to going public in history, do you have any advice to share?" Zhou Muyue: "No advice. It's all natural talent." Her career-focused fans go wild. The reporter asks again, "What's your greatest regret?" Zhou Muyue thinks for a moment and says, "Maybe not ascending to the throne." Reporter: "???" Her career-focused fans don't understand, but they keep cheering. Reporter: "One last question. Rumors say you're very close to Professor Fu Baichuan. What is your relationship?" Zhou Muyue: "Oh, he's my investor." Fu Baichuan clears his throat. "That's not wrong, but I'm investing in more than her career. I'm investing in a place by her side." Theme: The height of beauty is freedom of the soul
