Qin Zaozao is an illustrator at a company that develops romance games. After spending so much time around male models, she's given up on love in real life!
She's been single for 26 years, ever since birth.
One day, her landlady, who's always looked out for her, sends her a message:
My nephew has moved in next door. He is...
A loner who doesn't talk much, cold and rude;
Too old and bad-tempered, defies his parents, and won't get a proper job.
Help me talk some sense into him, and I'll waive your rent for a year.
Qin Zaozao thumps her chest. "Don't worry, Auntie Zhao! From now on, he's my own big brother!"
At their first meeting, a man who looks like he stepped straight out of a romance game approaches her...
Her eyes light up. As an illustrator, she sees inspiration! Three-dimensional inspiration! High-definition inspiration!!
Qin Zaozao: "Big Brother! Auntie Zhao asked me to look after you. Come over to my place for dinner tomorrow~"
He Chuqing wears a black trench coat, his figure tall and lean, his expression cold and stern. He lifts his eyes, his gaze falling on her like winter frost.
He says just two words: "Call me uncle."
Qin Zaozao: "Sure! Then first thing tomorrow morning, I'll start calling Auntie Zhao Grandma!"
Well! The handsome guy may be a bit of an idiot, but he's still gorgeous. I don't get it, but I respect it.
He Chuqing: …
Later, Qin Zaozao hears that the company's big boss has returned from abroad!
At an all-staff meeting, Qin Zaozao cries out in horror, "Uncle He?!!!"
As a result, many employees assume Qin Zaozao has connections. They not only give her special treatment at work, but also let her join the internal test for a new romance-game character.
Qin Zaozao creates a pile of artwork for the new character, putting in the hard work from nine to five. She also tells him about her wishes from time to time!
Day One: [Let my design get approved on the first draft!]
Day Two: [Give me a raise at the end of the month! Give me a raise! Give me a raise!]
Day Three: [May my lunch buddy never quit! Never quit!]
Day Four: [Boss, go on a business trip already so I can slack off]
Qin Zaozao never expected that after she told the romance-game male lead these things, every single one of them would come true!
Until one day, Qin Zaozao asks him a question:
[Help me figure out how to pursue my crush?]
He Chuqing's fingers pause as he types code. He replies:
[You like someone else behind my back? Angry.JPG]
She wants to test the character's responsiveness, so she replies on purpose:
[You don't even like me, so why do you care who I like?]
The next second, the doorbell suddenly rings.
In the middle of the night, He Chuqing appears at her door, his voice impatient. "Open the door."
Qin Zaozao quickly asks again:
[My boss is knocking on my door in the middle of the night! Is he going to make me work overtime?]
The romance-game male lead replies with the exact same words: [Open the door]
Qin Zaozao: ??????
A warm, adorable sunshine girl x a scheming, calculating, fatherly male lead
Male lead: 34. Female lead: 26. Eight-year age gap. Online romance and identity reveal. Pure sweetness, mutually devoted.
Theme: There's nothing wrong with women pursuing their careers!
