Latest Workplace Novel

This isn't a simple

At 22, on the verge of university graduation, Xitong discovered she was pregnant. After her first in-depth discussion about the baby with her long-distance boyfriend, Yu Sixie, the independent Xitong unilaterally decided to keep the child and ditch the father.

Carrying this secret, Xitong broke up with him abruptly. Around this time, she recalled what a fortune teller had told her earlier that year: "Beauty, as long as you break up with your current boyfriend, your life will not only be rich and prosperous, but also all your wishes will come true! You will have a complete 'koi' physique!"

At the time, she scoffed, thinking that meeting Yu Sixie was probably her greatest luck. He was not only exceptionally handsome but also from a distinguished family. At the same age of 22, he had already graduated from a master's program overseas and returned to inherit the family business.

However, the fortune teller's words actually came true. Before she could even grieve the breakup, Xitong was suddenly informed that her deceased gambler parents had left behind a vast fortune, more than she could ever spend.

After keeping the child without the father, Xitong's life became like a cheat code. Her only worry was the fear that Yu Sixie would find out about the child's existence.

This traditional, rigid, cold, and forceful man would definitely fight her for the child... and would take her life, in bed, regardless of her will, one of those types.

At 29, Yu Sixie was so distinguished that no one dared to overstep. His only distress was that he couldn't let go of his ex-girlfriend. Why did Xitong break up with him?

Was he not handsome enough, not rich enough, or couldn't he provide her with emotional value and companionship? Or did he demand too much, and their intimate life wasn't harmonious? Now that he thought about it, she did scream quite "miserably" back then.

After much thought, Yu Sixie leaned towards the third option; he was indeed very busy in his early 20s. However, no matter how much he regretted it, there was no option to relive life.

But he wondered if he was really obsessed, as he kept feeling that a child influencer on a certain social media app looked like a combination of him and Xitong. "Mom—"

One day, at a five-star hotel in their hometown, the child influencer called out "Mom" to his first love, who had cut off contact with him seven years ago, asking for a hug. Yu Sixie let out an angry laugh: "Xitong, you're really something else."

No one knew how incredibly fortunate he felt behind his rage, that he still had a second chance. On messy sheets, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you regret breaking up with me because I insisted on having a child?"

"No regrets," he replied, his fingers tracing her beautiful curves. "Even if it sounds despicable, that child is the bond that ensures you'll never forget me."

Chi Jin took on a part-time job feeding cats, accidentally ending up at her boss Chen Yisheng's house.

Running a side hustle right under the living Hades' nose? This editor's slacking-off career is in danger!

Even more horrifying:

She stumbled upon her editor-in-chief's "married" secret!

The notoriously stern editor-in-chief, rumored to have married a cavewoman, harbored a hidden tide of passion in his eyes that burned only for her.

From fellow apprentices to colleagues, then from colleagues to secret lovers.

This thrilling game, which began with "stolen pleasure," quietly commenced.

Synopsis:

Zong Chi has been single for many years, and his business negotiations and social events never take place in City S. Rumor has it that this is because his top-student ex-girlfriend, whom he once pursued, ultimately dumped him hard.

Young Master Zong avoids doctors and hospitals. Oh, his first love, that "white moonlight" is a surgical doctor.

He Dongli, a high school classmate who later became a close friend, saw on the official city micro-blog: "Zong Jingzhou, founder of Jiayin and a philanthropic overseas Chinese dignitary, has his only son arrive in City S to represent him at the group acquisition meeting." She couldn't help but tease:

"That ill-tempered 'living ancestor' of his, he actually allowed his photo to be published in a press release." Then she added, "Back then, was it really you who actively pursued him?"

He Dongli glanced at the profile in the press release and said vaguely, "Hmm, something like that."

1. Pan Xianchen was dumped by Wen Yu. That night, Pan Xianchen laughed in anger: "You made a mistake, yet you're dumping me?"

2. Wen Yu suddenly applied for a three-month long leave from Pan Xianchen. Pan Xianchen knew she was going to marry another man. He sneered: "I won't approve it."

3. For over two decades, Wen Yu had been playing the role of a dutiful daughter who listened to her parents. For so long she played the role that she even started believing it herself. Until she couldn't even choose whom to marry.

When President Pan, her boss, tried to use his authority to block her leave, she called him and said only one word: "Scram." Wen Yu was a novice in relationships; on this day, she exited the新手村, or "newbie village" as is commonly translated.

1v1 + Complete Purity + Push and Pull + High-Status Individual Bows Down + Wife-Chasing Crematorium + HE

Employee Secretary + Workaholic CEO.

When Yan Ruo heard the news of Xu Shaoyu's engagement, she had just finished buying his anniversary gift. Eight years of acquaintance, two years together. He was getting engaged, and she, his girlfriend, was the last to know!

Even though she knew this relationship was inherently unequal, she still mustered the courage to ask him, "Why?" A single phrase, "It has nothing to do with you!", brought her back to reality!

Forget it! She should return the gift quickly and cut her losses in time. The gift, she wanted to return! The person, she didn't want him anymore!

Fortunately! Eight years of effort, she lost love, but at least she saved enough money! The fastidious boss, the harsh boss's mother, the difficult-to-serve future boss's wife, and the miserable her!

Employee Secretary Yan completely quit! But, she had already tactfully left! Why wouldn't Xu Shaoyu let her go?

Everyone thought that Yan Ruo had spent eight years to finally gain a foothold by Xu Shaoyu's side and would never be willing to let go! But she was the one who left most freely!

On the contrary, Xu's CEO, who had always been calm, self-possessed, and as cold as a robot, completely saw red!

She thought she was fighting in the workplace, but it turned out to be a hunting ground.

He thought he was investigating an accident, but it turned out to be a murder case.

The killer he desperately pursued turned out to have stood before him more than twenty years ago.

Everyone is moving forward; no one is willing to look back.

If nothing is done, that past will be completely crushed in the gears of time.

Then let's start a desktop hunt.

Only then will they know that just looking ahead is not enough.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hang oneself on a single tree. Zhou Baixi did just that.

Another saying goes, once you understand what you couldn't before, you'll no longer be obsessive. Chen Ying still hasn't understood.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Baixi appeared during many of her lonely moments, so Chen Ying called that strange feeling dependence. By the time she belatedly realized her feelings, they had already gone their separate ways.

Fortunately, they had a chance to meet again. "Those heartfelt desires to see you, sometimes faint, sometimes strong, I'm afraid you'll hear them, and afraid you won't. So I'll write them for you to see."

Initial intentions remain unchanged, deep affection is unwavering. The core message is: love yourself, love your beloved.

When Xia Zhongqin first met Lian Yijian, the man sat opposite her, wearing gold-rimmed glasses that couldn't hide the deep, bright gaze that seemed capable of seeing through people's hearts. He looked down at a resume, only half-printed, in his hand.

The next second, the man spoke, his voice a bit lazy, yet with a faint smile on his face. "Just give a simple self-introduction, no need to be nervous." It was then that Xia Zhongqin fell in love with Lian Yijian at first sight.

He dangled the "PMO position" as bait, and she, a willing fish, slowly fell deeper and grew into a senior project manager. As his PMO, she was essentially his eyes, overseeing over a hundred projects under construction in the entire Sunan area.

As the Suzhou Metro project completed its functional construction according to the implementation plan, their relationship gradually warmed. This is a story about a growth-oriented female lead and a professional 'daddy-type' male lead.

The male lead appears aloof and cunning on the surface but is genuinely gentle and refined, while the female lead is an adorable engineering student. What seems like love at first sight is actually a gradually developing, "nurturing" relationship, with their emotions progressing step by step alongside the project phases.

The story background is based on materials provided by friends.

A story of rekindled love, long-awaited reunion, a husband-chasing "crematorium" scenario, and fantasy elements.

Three years ago, they used a fake contract to engage in a real romance. In the morning, upon their first meeting, Meng Yanxiu evaluated Mist Jianwei as a "vase." In the evening, her ankle was chafed, and he knelt down, saying, "Take off your shoes, I'll carry you."

This kind of intense feeling, like a high fever, often ends in mutual resentment. She gave her heart, only to discover his deep affection stemmed from a curse. He had already fallen, only to mistakenly believe he was just one of her lovers.

Three years later, they meet again. Mist Jianwei unexpectedly crashes his wedding. Before she can pull away, she is dragged into the bride's dressing room.

Meng Yanxiu's fervent kisses press down ceaselessly: "I'm here to collect my debt from you." In just a moment, her body is imbued with his scent, a dangerous, seductive blend of ebony rose and absinthe vetiver.

She raises her hand and slaps him: "Get lost, you should be getting married." Meng Yanxiu, in his noble black tuxedo, his voice low and hoarse, replies: "I hate you, you hate me. We're most suited for marriage."

The wedding bells toll, and the entire venue is abuzz... Mist Jianwei, in a flowing wedding gown, slowly walks towards him. "How is it her? She almost killed him back then!" "They had such a catastrophic fallout, can they really get back together?" "But who else could it be?"

The wedding reception ends, and he drives her home. Mist Jianwei looks up at him: "I won't be used by you again. We're over." Meng Yanxiu's fingertip glides across her lips: "Then why are you kissing me now?"

Mist Jianwei pushes open the car door: "I kissed you because I wanted to, is that not allowed?" Meng Yanxiu's eyes are mixed with amusement: "Allowed. If you want to sleep, come and sleep. Anyway, I will entangle myself with you endlessly."

Under his relentless entanglement, Mist Jianwei gradually pieces together a complete picture of him. This person doesn't seem to be completely heartless.

Those three years they were apart: I heard he refused to let anyone notify her even when he was critically ill. I heard the beneficiary of his insurance policy was always her name. I heard his thoughts of her could only be whispered to her beloved dog. I heard his winery had always brewed only rose absinthe. I heard that from the day she left, he had been planning their wedding. I heard that he had flown eighty-two international flights in three years, but didn't know she wasn't there at all.

And what she didn't know was that he could feel it every time she secretly cried. But he also didn't know that she had silently paid the price of loving him.

Watching this entanglement, like a vine of fate, wrap tighter and tighter, Mist Jianwei simply opened her door. She pulled Meng Yanxiu's tie: "Still entangled? Come in."

Meng Yanxiu countered by grasping her wrist: "Come out, come home with me. This time, you won't leave again." The game of love has no winners or losers. Only those who fall know the bittersweet taste.

Includes fantasy and surreal elements: her tears are the medicine that heals him.
