Lin Mohan is the heroine of a romance game.
The job of a romance-game heroine is to be an emotionless playgirl. Today, she goes drinking with a wolfish younger guy; tomorrow, she goes traveling with a sweet younger guy. Then she tells each of them, "You're all my good friends."
That was what she was supposed to do. Instead, she fell in love at first sight with one of her targets.
Lin Mohan: Sword, the thing you need to stay farthest away from is love. Men will only slow down my rise to movie stardom... See you in the martial world!
From then on, she avoided Mu Lin whenever she saw him.

Mu Lin is a CEO in a romance game.
The job of a romance-game CEO is to be an incredibly magnanimous cuckold. Today, he takes the heroine home and enjoys a romantic evening with her; tomorrow, he gets a little jealous and asks where her heart belongs. Even when she's constantly cheating on him, he has to quietly say, "I'll always protect her."
Mu Lin is an emotionless CEO. He doesn't want to spend every day with a green hat on his head, so he resolves to treat the heroine as a good employee and maintain a pure and proper boss-subordinate relationship.
Until one day, he catches a fleeting glimpse of the heroine and falls for her at first sight.
Mu Lin: I take it all back.
After much deliberation, the CEO decides to let the heroine pursue him while secretly driving out all her other targets, turning the romance game into a single-ending route.
He waits and waits, and waits some more, until he can finally hold back no longer:
"That's strange... Why hasn't she tried to win me over yet?"
P.S. A career-driven, independent heroine x a scheming CEO who overthinks everything.
