Mr. Simp deflected the onslaught of women’s inquiry of his dating life by responding with, “Twice divorced and working hard to raise 2 children.” SZT shyly accepts this comment, knowing full well she agreed to his proposal of a secret office romance! Squee!

Bwahaha! That’s because she’s not totally oblivious! 😂

They’re both upset and exhausted at the advertising typo but at a loss at how to comfort each other after the fact 😭

I’m so out of breathe! LN and SZT ‘s secret office romance is next level intoxication! 🔥🫠🥰

According to the novel, Flora is known for her beautiful handwriting (calligraphy competition) and attention to details by writing a lot of notes in school (non-prestigious college). Not sure if she had any other journals but she created a work journal to keep track of her career goals

Who here would’ve loved to see Luke’s facial reaction of a double-take when viewing Flora’s gorgeous figure for the first time in that fitted short black dress at that business meeting? Sun Qian’s figure and legs are next level! 🔥

That was the only missing cliched romance scene that I am feigning for! If they filmed it and cut it, please give it to us after TES finishes airing! 📢

Fan services are so awkward and embarrassing. I applaud all of these actors who had to thicken up their layers of skin to reenact their drama scenes or do live requests in front of everyone 👏

Not sure if it’s an Asian thing but I do blow on my children’s wounds to keep the solution from stinging too much

Right? So glad that didn’t name her Peach, which is literal translation of her Chinese name. Someone out there needs to translate what Luan Nian means

Yes, there are red bottoms Loubie’s for men’s shoes. If you didn’t notice, you can see him strut red bottoms throughout most of the episodes

Maybe he inadvertently catapulted the moment of inertia while trying to bring her body closer, imbalanced by doing it one-armed and his other hand was holding the umbrella? The things my addicted-to-romance brain tells me to justify a drama scene 😂

Which episode? I only noticed the Chanel brooch on him when he wore white the day after their smexing 😂

The setting is in the early 2010s and maybe Excel users weren’t as proficient as SZT at that point in time in China? Even though Excel has been available since 1985.

🤷🏻‍♀️ Sometimes I have to suspend belief when watching fictional shows

My Friday schedule. I’ll attempt to be social IRL. Do you have the same schedule too? 😂

7am-330pm - 😓 Work while distracted by this cp
5-630pm - 🍜 Early dinner (Vietnamese food) with my family
630-7pm - 🍷🧀 Prepare wine and a single serving charcuterie board, 🚪Lock bedroom door to keep family or distractions away
7-9pm - 🔥🫠 Re-watch prior TES episodes while waiting for new drops, 🥰 Crushing over our cp
9-12am - 🔥🍿 Indulge in TES new drops, 😭 Most likely be in tears by end of night

To think he actually drove her back home! I would’ve needed a cold shower before stepping into that car ride 😂🔥🫠

Well said! I love reading your verbose comment because I’m so addicted to this cdrama and feign for all things related to it!

I love that you named him “Mr. Buttonless”. Let me add “Mr. Buttonless Simp”. 😂

The way LN’s face was so glowingly proud of SZT’s presentation and work achievements in front of everyone in that meeting!!! 🫠 What am I going to do with the simpCEO?! 🔥

Agreed! I’m so relieved that this cdrama version makes him more human than the novel too

SZT asks, “Are you busy?”

LN pettily remarks, “Yes. Busy avoiding rumors.”

Yes! An understanding comrade! POB was the first drama that I watched and read the novel between episodes because the sexual tension flustered me hard. Now this modern drama is doing me the same feels.

Plus, LYN is singing the lead OST. The feels! 🔥🫠
