Accidentally Rich While Pretending to Work

share time: 2026-03-06 02:31:29

Lin Xiaoman, a corporate drone, lies to her parents about working as a planner at a "multinational corporation" to avoid marriage pressure—instead, she spends every day lazing in a community café, watching dramas. One day, she casually mocks a man’s business plan as "messier than a milk tea shop line," only to discover he’s the founder of an AI startup struggling to secure funding. The man drags her into revising the product logic using her "milk tea shop user flow" idea, which suddenly makes the project a hit with a $100 million valuation. He even forces her to take 6% equity as a thank-you. Now Xiaoman is in a panic: she has to handle her parents’ "check-in" video calls, hide the seven-figure sum suddenly appearing in her bank account, and deal with the founder waiting at the café door every day, smiling and saying, "I want to 'pretend to work' with you." Her "fake career" lie is about to be exposed, but how did wealth and love suddenly crash into her loafing routine?
