share time: 2026-02-15 06:04:48

Xia Xia, an administrative staff who’s slaved away all year to save for a wedding house down payment, is crushed when her year-end bonus—a “gold ingot”—turns out to be just gold-plated fake. When she confronts the finance team, she’s warned: “Make a scene and you’re fired.” Then Lin Shen, the newly arrived cold and aloof director, offers help. Together, they uncover the fake ingot is a smokescreen for the boss’s asset transfer—and Xia Xia’s first love, Chen Mo (the boss’s nephew), is in on it. Torn between keeping her job and reclaiming her dignity, Xia Xia hesitates. But Lin Shen’s “help” starts to carry an unexpected warmth… Is he really on her side, or does he have an agenda of his own?
