On her first day at her new job, office worker Xia Nanlu was "singled out" by her boss and immediately sent abroad. Her assignment: "Support xxx in an underdeveloped region and help foreign friends find new jobs."
The good news: she's going as the boss.
The bad news: she's the only employee.
The good news: it's an international metropolis (an underdeveloped region?), and she's given a detached townhouse downtown from the start, with her workplace on the ground floor.
The bad news: her clients don't seem to understand the concept of an eight-hour workday and often show up in the middle of the night.
The good news: her clients are either handsome or beautiful, or rolling in money.
The bad news: they seem to... maybe...
Not to be human at all!!
Thank goodness she has an attractive employee who's capable of handling both work and daily life. There's just one problem...
One night, Xia Nanlu secretly got up to post a question online: Urgent! Is there anything weird people eat abroad that makes them glow at night? I have a friend who seems to be @%&+#
In the darkness, a perfect hand, like one carved from ancient Roman marble and glowing with a golden special effect, pinned her paws to the keyboard.
"Why don't you turn on the light, boss?"
"Is it because... you're glowing too?"
She's doomed. She might not be quite human either!
