share time: 2025-12-16 12:36:08

Lin Xiaoman, a young architect, died from overworking on a cultural tourism project. She wakes up reborn a week before the submission deadline. In her past life, she copied templates to meet the schedule, only to have her plan rejected and her health ruined. This time, she decides to 'slack off'—no more late nights, just optimizing the design with intangible cultural heritage techniques (bamboo weaving, batik) she remembered from her past. But to her surprise, the plan she only wanted to 'submit' is named 'The Most Heartwarming Design of the Year' by an international architecture magazine, attracting cooperation offers from overseas cultural tourism groups. Meanwhile, Gu Chengchuan, her boss who used to be strict with her, turns from a 'supervisor' to a 'supporter'—he helps her turn down extra overtime and secretly sets her design as his computer wallpaper. As they build their careers together, their romance blooms. Turns out, the best way to counterattack is not to fight to the death, but to win without breaking a sweat!
