Synopsis:

//Mutual hunting// Single-to-the-end assistant relentlessly flirts with icy boss//

Cool, seductive CEO x proactive, energetic assistant / bickering enemies turned lovers

1. Right after graduating from college, Cen Xia plunged headfirst into the world of self-media. After one failure after another, she finally decided to go out and find a job.

Who could have guessed that her very first interview would come with a full dose of bad luck?

It was pouring on the day of her interview. A luxury car sped past an intersection, splashing muddy water all over her.

Furious, she pointed a trembling finger and demanded, "Do you have any manners?"

The window slowly rolled down, revealing a face covered by a black mask.

As she stood there soaked and disheveled, the driver replied expressionlessly, "Sorry."

Before she could argue, a man's long-fingered hand reached out of the window, holding a phone number between two fingers.

"Contact me later about compensation."

Before she could react, the car disappeared into the rain and mist.

All that remained was her gritted-out "Damn it."

2. That disastrous interview naturally ended in failure.

To her utter surprise, she received a job offer the very next day.

And of course, the company owner was the arrogant driver.

Her boss, Lu Zhiyu, had god-tier looks and an air of refined elegance, but his personality was cold and strict, ruthless in his decisions. He was renowned in the industry as the cold-faced King of Hell.

In just a few days, Cen Xia was tormented until she wished she were dead.

With all her resentment and nowhere to vent, she decided to...

A series of videos called "My Daily Battles with My Oddball Boss" quietly appeared on a social media app.

To her surprise, they went viral.

The whole internet watched as the newest office drone found creative ways to roast her unscrupulous capitalist boss.

In the comments, netizens offered advice like crazy. One highly praised comment was pinned at the top:

[He makes you suffer at work, so make him suffer in love.]

Cen Xia stared at her screen, picturing Lu Zhiyu's face.

Well, she supposed it wouldn't be a bad deal.

3. By day, Cen Xia was a dedicated office drone. At night, she became a snarky video blogger, earning a salary while making money from her online traffic. Her double life was thriving.

She thought she'd hidden her secret perfectly.

Until one afternoon...

She happened to glimpse the familiar short-video app icon on her boss's phone screen.

Her heart skipped a beat. She cautiously asked, "Boss, do you... use short-video apps too?"

Lu Zhiyu looked up, his expression as cool and indifferent as ever. "No."

His two icy syllables made the weight in her heart suddenly lift.

What she didn't know was that the moment she left his office, the man behind her lowered his eyes, tapped the screen, and sent a private message:

[So, did the blogger succeed in her mission?]

Tips:

1. A lighthearted sweet romance

2. Age gap

3. Both leads have no previous relationships

Synopsis of "Echoes Without a Voice":

[Cool-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside esports girl x sharp-tongued, kind-hearted older capitalist big shot | Dual secret identities | Esports x voice acting]

The hashtag "Esports goddess and top-tier star voice actor Qingwu kiss on variety show" exploded overnight, dominating every trending list.

Nobody knew that the two people at the center of the scandal everyone was obsessing over had each mistaken the other for someone else for an entire year...

1. The most ridiculous misunderstanding of Ling Ye's life began with a single glance on the university sports field.

After an unexpected defeat in a match, Ling Ye lost her voice due to psychological trauma.

Her best friend Jiang Yue, worried sick, pinned her down on the field and aimed a spray of Chinese medicine at her throat. "Why is a kid your age still afraid of taking medicine?"

As she and her best friend tussled and rolled around on the field, Jiang Yue's older brother, Jiang Qingshu, caught them in the act.

The man's expression was aloof, his eyes sharp as knives, and every word cut deep. "You're so young, and already preying on girls?"

With her short hair and work clothes, Ling Ye couldn't defend herself at all, and earned the label [creepy junior who has his eye on the Jiang family's precious little girl].

2. While she was staying at her best friend's house, the misunderstandings kept getting worse.

Polaris, the esports god revered by everyone but whose true face no one had ever seen,

was, in Jiang Qingshu's eyes, a freeloading, weakling of a brat who mooched off his family and preyed on his little sister.

Qingwu, the owner of a top esports club and a top-tier voice actor whose bewitching voice had captivated the internet,

was, in Ling Ye's eyes, an arrogant older nuisance with terrible gaming skills and nothing better to do.

3. Ling Ye had kept her gaming-prodigy secret identity, Polaris, hidden for years.

But she made an exception and accepted an invitation to a slow-paced variety show, only because her favorite idol, Qingwu, was on the guest list.

On the day of the event, she didn't see Qingwu. Instead, she began to notice more and more suspicious details about Jiang Qingshu, the lazy, laid-back man who spent all day trading barbs with her.

As layers of secrets slowly came to light, beyond the camera's view...

The man tightened his arm around her waist. His low, familiar voice brushed her ear, its irresistible allure seeping into her heart.

"Teacher Polaris, are you going to keep pretending you don't know me?"
