Romance Was Never a Mistake

share time: 2025-12-08 12:34:24

Su Xiao, a 996 office worker, stayed up late binge-watching a historical drama and complained, "I hate the cliché where romance ruins one's career the most." To her shock, she woke up bound to the "Romance Correction System"—her mission: help Gu Jingshen, a "down-and-out CEO," reclaim his seized company, with the rule: "Use romantic tactics to make him open up." Reluctantly, Su Xiao used the system's "Guide to Win a Straight Man's Heart" to get close: she helped him save a dying project, stayed up with him to revise plans, and even stood up for him publicly when he was humiliated by rivals. But one drunk night, Gu Jingshen held her and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, I've waited three years for you." It turned out Su Xiao saved Gu Jingshen from an assassination three years ago. To find her, he specially developed the system—those "romantic missions" were just his excuse to get close. When they reclaimed the company together, Su Xiao finally understood: it wasn't romance that ruined his career; it was his career that had always existed for this romance.
