Jiang Zhiyue graduated from a top university at twenty-three with a master's degree, then joined Hengtai, a Fortune 500 company, as an executive assistant parachuted into the role.
The person she looked down on most was her boss, Shen Yu, who had no skills whatsoever and had used his family background and an arts degree to land the CEO position.
Shen Yu might have been hopeless at being a CEO, but he had all kinds of ways to make people's lives miserable. So every day after work, Jiang Zhiyue would vent about him in her diary:
"Making coffee was bad enough, but today Shen Yu actually asked me to make latte art for him. If I showed my work log to a random passerby, they'd probably think I worked at S-bucks."
"It's been six months and seventeen days, and Shen Yu still hasn't learned to tie a tie. Are people who study art really this hopeless with their hands?"
"I took the documents in, and Shen Yu didn't sign them all day. When I went in to ask about the progress, he said I was too fierce :)"
"It's getting cold. Hengtai should go bankrupt."
Jiang Zhiyue thought this executive assistant job at a branch office was just a brief step on her way to a promotion. Once she moved up, she could finally say goodbye to her hapless boss for good.
But on the very day her promotion notice arrived, she and Shen Yu switched souls.

Shen Yu felt that his life was terribly unfortunate. All he wanted was freedom, and he had no interest in being a CEO, but his privileged background had forced him to inherit the family business.
He thought he was probably the only boss in the world who treated going to work like going to a funeral. He couldn't understand a single company document, and the old fossils on the board were always making snide remarks at him.
Fortunately, he had a sharp, capable, versatile assistant who could do just about anything and, unlike everyone else at the company, didn't secretly look down on him.
It wasn't until one day, when he and Jiang Zhiyue switched souls, that Shen Yu discovered the name she'd saved him under in her phone:
"Shen the Man-Baby"
Versatile, polished, capable executive assistant x useless, beautiful boss who's a pitiful puppy
