Taming the Thorns

share time: 2026-01-10 06:20:43

Lin Xiaoman, the "Thorn Tamer" at an internet company, specializes in dealing with difficult employees—until she meets her match: Lu Shiyan, a tech director who rejects team-building, opposes overtime, and even turns the attendance sheet into a "cat café check-in guide." Determined to "tame" him, Lin discovers Lu's "thorns" are actually a shield: he secretly edits interns' resumes, picks up kids for working moms, and uses his bonus to help laid-off colleagues pay rent. As they clash, Lin realizes her own "thorn" is the lost dream of being a designer, traded for performance. From rivals to allies, they don’t just tame each other’s thorns—they fight the workplace rules that eat away at their original hearts.
