Cheerful, sunny intern vs. stern, reserved boss
As soon as Yuan Xia'an enters the workforce, she commits a major workplace faux pas: she starts an office romance with her boss.
Rumors spread through the company. Everyone says the boss already has someone he loves and is saving himself for that person.
Only Yuan Xia'an knows the truth: it’s all a misunderstanding.
Her boss has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and an exceptional air about him. He seems cold and aloof, but in private he’s gentle and attentive, and a great cook, too.
They happen to live across the hall from each other, and her boss often cooks for her. The food is delicious, but aside from eating together, nothing else ever happens at home.
Yuan Xia'an finds it painfully dull.
-
On the eve of their breakup, she discovers that her boss is hiding a white moonlight. It dawns on her that he’s been keeping his distance to remain faithful to this beloved person.
Before she can say anything, her boss is the first to bring up breaking up.
After the breakup, he drops his gentle facade and turns into a ruthless capitalist, making things difficult for her at every turn at work.
Yuan Xia'an realizes she was just a stand-in for her boss’s white moonlight.
Her internship isn’t even over yet when Yuan Xia'an angrily slaps her resignation letter onto him and walks out.
-
She thinks they’ll never owe each other anything again. But after returning to her hometown, Yuan Xia'an runs into her boss once more. It turns out he was the boy next door when they were kids, and also her high school nightmare.
Yuan Xia'an dislikes her boss even more and is determined to draw a clear line between them.
The first time, on a bench in the neighborhood, he looks at her resentfully. “You have to take responsibility for me.”
Yuan Xia'an suddenly remembers that when she was nineteen, heartbroken and drunk, she impulsively kissed a handsome guy!
Was she the white moonlight her boss had been saving himself for?
The second time, while her parents are out, her boss barges into her home, his eyes full of hurt. “Can’t you choose me?”
The third time, he kisses her passionately and pleads in a low voice, “Call me big brother.”
Yuan Xia'an gently shakes her head, her voice soft. “I should call you husband.”
