-Title to be changed. Posting last year's blurb for now. I'll revise it when I have time.
Two-faced office worker vs. persnickety, flamboyant boss
1.
As a conscientious office worker, Shen Linsu is seen by her colleagues as dedicated, hardworking, and sunshine-bright. She posts motivational quotes on her social media every day and is held up by the managers as an example for everyone to follow.
No one knows that Shen Linsu actually has two WeChat accounts.
One is for work, where she maintains her image. The other is for her personal life and losing her mind.
When a brand suddenly backs out of a promotion, she takes it in stride, cool and magnanimous. "It's fine."
Back home, she switches to her private account and furiously types: Tonight I'm taking a cannon to that stupid client's front door. Let's see if he still says it's fine when his house gets robbed.
At the end of the year, the company gets a new boss and goes through a major overhaul. Shen Linsu is kept on thanks to her positive attitude at work, and even gets promoted.
As usual, she's upbeat by day and vents at night, except this time, she's complaining about her boss.
2.
Shen Linsu's family pressures her into a blind date. Her aunt praises the guy to the skies, saying he's handsome, rich, and devoted.
She believes her.
She accidentally gives him her personal WeChat account. Oh well, if he loves her, he'll have to accept all of her.
After chatting for a few days, they seem to get along, so they arrange to meet.
Then the blind date's face lines up with her memory of her boss, Liang Zhiyan, and Shen Linsu loses it.
She forces a laugh. "Boss... why do you have two WeChat accounts too?"
Right in front of her, Liang Zhiyan reads her social media posts aloud, enunciating every word.
"The boss is pretty handsome, but not very bright, and he's stingy. How am I supposed to do my job without a budget? He deserved to have a whole table of Mixue Bingcheng drinks ordered for the meeting."
"Before I crash into the whole world, I have to crash into this obsessive-compulsive boss who insists that every item on his desk stay exactly where it is."
"The thing that gets me through work every day is gossip. A new pretty girl joined the company today. The boss must have tons of romantic scandals~"
He gazes at Shen Linsu, who's on the verge of a breakdown, with a faint smile. "After slandering me like that, are you going to pretend you didn't do it?"
For the sake of her physical safety, Shen Linsu decisively marries her boss.
Now that I'm your wife, you can't make my work life difficult anymore, okay?
3.
She originally thought their marriage was just a game to appease their families, but Liang Zhiyan grows bolder by the day.
At first, it's only the brush of their fingertips when he hands her something. Then their toes touch under the conference table, followed by secret sweet nothings in the office.
Shen Linsu understands him less and less.
Sometimes he even traps her in the storage room beside the break room and suddenly kisses her, heedless of the voices drifting closer and farther away.
They make love late into the night, and he coaxes her to say she loves him.
Shen Linsu says, "I love you, but I refuse to concede."
Liang Zhiyan says he's all ears.
Shen Linsu bites his ear and says fiercely, "Admit it, Liang Zhiyan. You're the one who fell in love with me first."
