By a twist of fate, Liang Xin, a junior college graduate, is introduced to He Wenzheng, an elite CEO, as his personal assistant.
Before they meet, the matchmaker describes He Wenzheng as rich, handsome, and blessed with a chest full of bulging muscles.
When they meet, Liang Xin accidentally takes a peek. All she can remember is the bulging part.
He Wenzheng was born into a prominent family and grew up surrounded by the prestige of elite schools. He has a severe case of elite-phobia, and his only requirement for an assistant is that they seem like a real person.
After hiring her: not only is she a real person, she's a real character.
He soon realizes that she is always staring thoughtfully at a certain part of his body.
So one day after a banquet, He Wenzheng lets her have a proper look himself.
Liang Xin swallows and begs for mercy. "If I say I'm only curious about dragons, not ready to meet one, will you believe me?"
He Wenzheng: "I believe you. Want to see the dragon rise?"
Liang Xin: ...
At first, Liang Xin is delighted. The man not only pays her a salary, but also satisfies her cravings.
Before long, she discovers that he also likes encouraging her to study.
Damn it, have you ever seen a wage slave who spends the day sticking on receipts and booking hotels, then works like a servant and warms his bed at night, only to have to memorize 100 words and finish two reading comprehension passages and a cloze exercise afterward?! If she doesn't do it, she loses her bonus for the month!
Under all the pressure, Liang Xin is in tears. "What do you even see in me?"
He Wenzheng: "Your low level of education."
W-what a vicious way to encourage someone to study...!!!
From then on, Liang Xin studies as if her life depends on it, and keeps climbing the academic ladder... On the day she gets accepted into graduate school, she finally slams her admission letter against the human embodiment of Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Practice Tests across from her.
"Let's break up! I reek of elite schools now!!! I'm already the kind of person you hate most!!"
The elegant man leaning against a Maybach raises an eyebrow at her words and says coolly, "Baby, you must know I've changed my tastes, which is why you've worked so hard."
Liang Xin's legs go weak. "What tastes?"
He Wenzheng: "Graduate-student tastes. Just right."
Reading notes:
· Both are virgins, and their attraction is mutual and physical
· Ten-year age gap, gentlemanly Daddy x low-class sweetheart
· The heroine starts out as a vocational-school-educated factory girl, lacking in common sense but lively and quick-witted. By the end, she's earned a master's degree from an elite university in a subject she loves
· The male lead really does push her to study, like in My Fair Lady!! She'll face conflict and self-doubt on the way to growing
