I Just Want to Work, But My Exes Are Everywhere

share time: 2026-02-06 12:35:44

Lin Chuan, a corporate slave, changed jobs to escape his “relationship mess” and planned to lay low to save for a house—only to stumble into an “ex-girlfriend包围圈 (ex-girlfriend trap)”. His department head is Zhang Wanyue, his first love who wants to get back together; his client is Ou Na, an ex who needs him to fix her project; the new intern is Chen Yuwen, a former flame who clings to him for career advice; even the café owner downstairs is Guo Ying, the ex who said “never see you again” when they broke up. Not to mention Li Xinyue from admin and Liu Qinshan from HR—two “forgotten exes”! Lin Chuan juggles “hiding from exes” and “being exposed” every day: he almost blurted “ex” instead of “coffee” in a meeting with three exes present; while helping Ou Na with a project, he ran into Zhang Wanyue delivering a love lunch; he went to Guo Ying’s café for peace, only to be stopped by Chen Yuwen asking “why did we break up back then”. He’s busy hiding the truth about his “ex assembly” while struggling to hit his KPIs, but the exes’ “relentless questions” keep coming—some have unspoken regrets, some hold misunderstandings, some just want to confirm “was the love back then real”. When the exes accidentally find out about each other, the “Ex-Girlfriend Alliance” is formed, turning Lin Chuan’s work life upside down. Yet in this “farce”, he gradually understands his past self and those unsaid “goodbyes”.
