Am I Not a Genius Office Worker?

My new novel, "The Arrogant Darlings of Heaven," is currently updating. Please add it to your reading list!

After being reborn, Meng Yinxiang works diligently to make money and puts in long hours, following the orders of her boss, Shen Qiao, and trailing after his son and daughter as their lackey.

At last, she makes it through high school and enters college. Thanks to the Shen family's influence, her career prospects are finally looking up. But before long, Shen Qiao forces her to break up with her young boyfriend and date the Shen family's eldest son, serving as his informant.

For the sake of her career, she takes her young boyfriend underground. Breaking up is out of the question. She wants both love and career.

But after all her years of hard work, in other people's eyes, her story has become one of a gold-digger clawing her way to the top.

Shen Tingsong resents his father, so he especially dislikes the partner his father picked for him. He uses every means at his disposal to make her break up with him.

After succeeding, he assumes she will be devastated and heartbroken. Instead, that very night, she goes to a hotel with another man.

His friends tell him to catch her in the act, but the revelation hits him like a blow: the man she's cheating with has been dating her longer than he has.

The man smiles with an affected, innocent look. "Young Master Shen, you're the other man. Whenever Xiangxiang gets upset because of you, I'm the one who comforts her."

Many people think they're special to Meng Yinxiang. She treats them so well and protects them so much, surely she'll take their side.

But Meng Yinxiang only cares about making money. Anything unrelated to earning a paycheck means nothing to her.

It isn't until the Shen family's eldest daughter, her biggest source of income, runs into trouble that Meng Yinxiang is willing to put herself on the line and bring everything to an end in an unexpected way.

Meng Yinxiang is a liar. She's deceived a lot of people into falling for her, men and women alike, all for the benefits she stands to gain.

They hate her, and so do the women.

The one time she was outwitted was when she discovered that her poor but pure-hearted young boyfriend was actually a rich third-generation heir.

She couldn't afford to keep someone like him, so she reluctantly broke up with him, only for him to cling to her relentlessly. The sweet, innocent college boy was an act; the possessive, obsessive side was real.

Clear-headed wage-earner x sweet-talking, black-hearted schemer

The female lead's character design on the cover was commissioned from Mihuashi.

[Reader's Guide]

1. A little ensemble cast, an alternate-world setting, and a slow-burn pace. The story starts with her rebirth.

2. Everyone among the main characters is sweet on the outside and black-hearted underneath, except for one who is genuinely sweet. Don't be fooled by the others.

3. For the sake of the plot, the male lead receives little characterization early on. The focus is mainly on the women around him.

4. The male lead doesn't have abs in his first year of high school. He'll work out to develop an eight-pack to impress the female lead, and he's very good at putting on an act.

[The pacing is fairly slow. The first 30 chapters, totaling 100,000 words, are free, so you can read more and decide if the pace works for you before purchasing paid chapters. This way, you won't buy them and then find you don't like the style.]

The main story is one-on-one, with an alternate-universe bonus story. All male love interests are sexually inexperienced in both the main story and the bonus story.

The bonus story is not one-on-one, so please consider carefully before purchasing it.
