Better to Favor

share time: 2026-02-09 06:57:43

Lin Xiaoman, a workplace "doormat girl" taught since childhood that "obedience equals love", meets Gu Shiyan—her neighbor and a sharp-tongued bakery owner who displays "No Fawning" on his shop sign. One rainy night after overtime, she spills the coffee she bought for a colleague all over herself. Gu hands her hot cocoa and says coldly, "You even forgot you like hot drinks?" From that day on, Gu bursts into her life like a "sugar-coated bomb": forcing her to reject unreasonable requests, helping her rediscover her 10-year passion for strawberry cake, and even displaying a cake labeled "Xiaoman’s Exclusive Sweet" when she’s excluded by colleagues. When Lin says "I’m busy" to a colleague for the first time and runs to Gu’s shop, she realizes: "Favor" isn’t given by others—it’s saving sugar for yourself first, then meeting someone who treats you as their sugar.
