Yearning for Brilliant Jiahe

Zhao Jiahe had a dream. In it, she lost her job. While unemployed, she woke up naturally each day, grew flowers and drank tea at home, and kept fit with skincare and yoga. In short, she lived life to the fullest in her dream. She even… even fell into a sweet romance! She couldn’t make out her dream boyfriend’s face, but his proportions were absolutely perfect. It was both astonishing and delightful. After waking up, Zhao Jiahe decided to make her dream a reality. She resigned from her position as an executive at a publicly listed company and began a relaxing gap period. Her former boss confessed his feelings for her. Her adopted brother, who wasn’t related by blood, fell for her. She kept receiving anonymous bouquets, and a rich young man she met while traveling even gave up his luxury car, just so he could go home with her. And then there was the refined, elegant, inscrutable former investor she respected and admired most. He was even more discreet than he seemed. Unbelievable. He actually… he actually… It was truly astonishing and delightful. - After Zhao Jiahe started dating Lin Shuchen, her planned domestic research trip for her new business turned into a round-the-world vacation combined with research. When they got back from their trip around the world, Lin Shuchen invited her to sit on his lap that night. Having experienced everything, Zhao Jiahe decided to end her two-year gap period. “Can I come work for you?” Lin Shuchen naturally supported her. “Sure. This position of mine…” “I’ve even gossiped about you in this position. I’d be too embarrassed to sit there.” “There are some projects…” “Some projects can wait until I catch my breath before I take them on.” “That’s fine too. I’m still looking for a secretary.” “If I’m your secretary, will you be able to focus on work?” - To help her boyfriend focus on “making money,” Zhao Jiahe chose a receptionist job at Yanlin Group. In return, she used sleeping with him as leverage to secure the freedom and peace of acting like strangers at the office every day. Her boyfriend was true to his word. At the office, he didn’t speak to her, hold her hand, or hug her, and he certainly didn’t sneak kisses with her. In short, he kept all the things he did at home from happening at the office. But still. He made a point of passing reception three times every day, morning, noon, and night, just to exchange a glance with her once, twice, three times… Sending secret, flirtatious looks once, twice, three times… One day, a promising young man who had a crush on Zhao Jiahe finally worked up the courage to ask her, “Do you have a boyfriend?” Her “boyfriend,” who had just finished their “three passionate glances,” happened to hear him. He pressed the elevator button but didn’t get in, apparently very interested in her answer. With no way out, Zhao Jiahe lifted her chin and pointed at him. “There he is.” Male lead’s version of the blurb: Jiahe, who yearns for a brilliant life.
