"My Boss Is Angry. Can I Kiss Him?"

1.

On his first day at the bank, Wang Yangchun meets his infamous boss, Jiang Yongzhou.

Just as the rumors say, the boss is stern, demanding, cold-hearted, and feared by everyone.

Wang Yangchun: I hate people who act all high and mighty.

But when he gets a good look at his boss, he quickly retracts his claws and becomes obedient in a flash.

Wang Yangchun: The rumors left out that my boss has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a face straight out of a top-tier character model. Even when he's angry, he's irresistible.

2.

Face-to-face with that top-tier face, Wang Yangchun finds himself a new goal in life.

After being pulled out of the water, he clings to his boss, shivering and chattering his teeth:

"It was so dark underwater. I think I saw a female ghost, too. Hold me..."

His boss, his face frosty, tosses him two books: An Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought and Marxist Philosophy.

After falling out with his family, Wang Yangchun grabs his boss by the hem of his clothes, tears in his eyes:

"My dad doesn't want me anymore. You won't abandon me too, will you?"

His boss pushes his hand away, brushes off his clothes, and says:

"Go apply for a bed in the men's dorm at a university. There are plenty of people there who'd love to be your godfather."

Wang Yangchun has had enough. He's done trying to break through the unbreakable barrier between them. He's going straight for it.

3.

Wang Yangchun crawls out of bed and pounds his lower back.

A man who has just had his first taste of sex has found it hard to get enough. No matter how much he begs, his lover's conscience remains fast asleep.

So much for being stern. So much for being cold-hearted. But he really is incredible.

So incredible that Wang Yangchun only wishes he could get pregnant.

But he never expected his boss to stay exactly the same. Once his pants are back on, he turns his back on him.

Wang Yangchun gives his boss a limited-edition pair of glasses; his boss gives him a pair of glow-stick glasses in return.

He gives his boss a telescope worth over a million; his boss tosses him a eunuch figurine.

He buys a pair of platinum rings to make their relationship official, but his boss turns around and throws him a piece of red yarn.

Wang Yangchun: What does this mean? Are we tying the knot with yarn?

Sure enough, I hate people who act all high and mighty the most. I'm done catering to him.

4.

With his life's goal gone, Wang Yangchun slinks home to inherit his family's billions. Before long, he has become the famous young Mr. Wang of high society.

Then one day, he unexpectedly runs into an old acquaintance.

After making a few inquiries, he learns that his former boss, Jiang Yongzhou, has been demoted to a shabby branch on the outskirts of the city, where he spends his days handing out flyers and trying to attract deposits under the blazing sun.

Wang Yangchun parks his silver McLaren in front of Jiang Yongzhou and sneers:

"Manager Jiang, have dinner with me and I'll deposit six billion with you."

Jiang Yongzhou is as impartial as ever:

"The bank strictly prohibits accepting bribes."

Wang Yangchun steps on the gas and drives away.

That night, an email arrives in his inbox.

When he opens it, he finds a food-ordering app:

[But having a home-cooked meal at my place isn't a bribe. Please choose your dinner. [Handshake]]

Wu Zhi is a famous "couch potato" at Fenghua University.

A gifted teacher? Popular with everyone? Both are true!

Promoted to dean? No, thanks!

Seconded to a prestigious institution? Not interested!

His dream in life? To stay in his little corner of Chunlan City and lie flat, living off the land and waiting to die!

But a bizarre accident at the General's Shrine sends him to the hospital and shatters his couch-potato dream.

When he wakes up, he discovers that he has become the target of Chu Huai, a rising star in Chunlan City's intelligence agency.

Chu Huai has been assigned to investigate a major case involving an online celebrity distorting history, and urgently needs help. Someone recommends Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi flatly refuses, while Chu Huai scoffs at the idea: a couch potato is a couch potato!

But pressure comes down from above, piling on at every level.

With no other choice, Chu Huai resorts to threats and inducements.

In the end, Wu Zhi gives in...

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain!

This guy isn't a couch potato at all. He's a walking "lunatic"!

To solve cases, Wu Zhi can sneak into a museum's top-secret vault with his wits, or hijack an armored transport vehicle with his brawn...

His methods are so wild they make your heart pound!

Chu Huai: I'm in love... and I'm terrified!

The case is closed. Time for a farewell dinner.

Chu Huai thinks they will each go their own way from here on.

But the next day, he opens the door to his little restaurant, and sees the person working the wok at the stove.

Who else could it be but Wu Zhi?!

Chu Huai: ???!!! (jaw drops) "What are you doing here?!"

Wu Zhi taps the spatula and smiles. "I'm trying to win someone over, but I'm a little short on cash. I thought I'd get a part-time job during the holidays."

Six months later, the two finally become a couple.

Just as they are wrapped up in each other, disaster strikes!

Wu Zhi is found lying beside a woman at an abandoned construction site, looking as if... they had attempted a double suicide?!

Rescue report: Wu Zhi is on the brink of death. He miraculously survives, but is left brain-dead.

Chu Huai wagers everything he has to bring him back.

Perhaps the gods take pity on them. A few months later...

Wu Zhi really does wake up.

But the first taste of human warmth that awaits him

is a presentation Chu Huai plays for him:

A "Destroy the Cheating Scumbag" PowerPoint, full of details, airtight logic, and clear facts!

The evidence is overwhelming. There's no way to defend himself...

[Bluffing, calculating god-like bottom × constantly fooled, always devoted human top]

Theme: There is genuine love in this world.
