Also known as Second Life.
At first, the heroine falls in love with her boss, Zhao Liheng. Later, the second male lead, Cheng Hu, a foreign trade businessman, wins her over.
[Sweet, feisty little firecracker x abstinent, self-controlled boss]
Jiang Cui is twenty-four this year. With almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, she looks as sweet as a peach, but beneath that exterior beats a heart itching to take a chance. Two years ago, fresh out of college, she applied to Hengyuan Media and fell for Zhao Liheng, the hiring manager, at first sight.
Unfortunately, Mr. Zhao rarely smiled and always acted strictly professional. Afraid a confession would cost her her job, Cui Cui kept her feelings to herself.
One day, after working overtime until she was exhausted, she nodded off at her desk. An unexpected visitor suddenly showed up.
It was Bai Shuang, Mr. Zhao's first love, whom he'd broken up with many years ago.
After being dumped by her sugar daddy, Bai Shuang saw that the once-poor Zhao Liheng had made it big and came back to ask him to get back together.
Faced with his pitiful ex, Zhao Liheng remained unmoved. But Bai Shuang wouldn't let up, and just as they reached an impasse, Jiang Cui was jolted awake by her alarm. Still groggy, she nearly stepped on Bai Shuang, who was crouching on the floor, then accidentally kicked their keepsake far away and stumbled right into Zhao Liheng's arms.
Zhao Liheng had a sudden idea and pretended Jiang Cui was his new girlfriend. But the cold beauty Bai Shuang brazenly called Jiang Cui short and ugly, insisting Zhao could never be interested in her.
Furious, Jiang Cui grabbed Zhao Liheng by the face and kissed him. The onlooking coworkers all let out gasps of shock.
Bai Shuang stormed off in a rage.
Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Cui began pursuing Zhao Liheng and successfully started dating this handsome, wealthy man.
Just when Jiang Cui thought she'd found her destined match, a mysterious, dangerous, towering man barged into her life and stirred up trouble.
[Justice-loving, sweet girl who's already taken x calculating, mysterious tycoon]
Cheng Hu, the head of a foreign trade company, had a difficult childhood. His parents both died when he was young, and his grandfather raised him alone.
A poor boy like him should have been destined for a life of hardship, but he somehow rose to become the head of a company with an annual output worth billions. How he did it is a mystery to outsiders.
One day, the beloved myna his grandfather raised was attacked by a hawk while out flying and went missing.
Cheng Hu posted a video asking for help finding the bird, offering a reward of one hundred thousand yuan. He hoped to bring his grandfather's beloved pet home and spare the old man any heartbreak. As it happened, Jiang Cui had found the myna. Following the address in the video, she arrived at a luxurious mountain sanatorium.
She'd only come to return the bird, so why were stars shining in Mr. Cheng's eyes?
Among dozens of black mynas, the soot-black bird Cui Cui had brought hopped lightly onto the old man's shoulder and sang a revolutionary song in its characteristic electronic-sounding voice.
The little bird had returned from the slums to its golden nest. Cheng Hu and Jiang Cui rode down the mountain together, but two trucks ambushed them from either side, and they nearly got crushed into meat paste.
Surviving the ordeal made Cheng Hu even more attentive to her. He wanted to take things further, but she stepped back with a smile. "Mr. Cheng, I have a boyfriend."
Cheng Hu was stubborn. So what? Just watch me swoop in and steal you away.
