Episode 1
Xia Xiaoning is a young frustrated voice-over actress. She was attending an audition which she waited for patiently but when it was her turn she quickly found out that the script had been changed without letting her know and therefore, she was not prepared.
She was told to go as they are busy at the studio.
She was still smarting from her experience when she noticed that her shoelace was untied. She put her bag on top of a car bonnet while she tied her laces.
The car started moving with her bag still in it. She ran after the car and after a few yards, the driver stopped suddenly near a slightly flooded pavement sending her treasured photos of her idol, Prince Mo into the flood water. She was so annoyed especially when the tall rather gorgeous guy picked one of the photos and would not give it back when she asked him too.
They had to wrestle over it and it ended being torn, which made her angrier.
He gave her a business card where she can claim her compensation.
The main event of her day was a fan meeting with Prince Mo. She was so excited especially when she was chosen to reenact a scene from her favourite drama, Jade Prince (?) with Prince Mo himself.
She was so happy but on her way out, she met the gorgeous guy again. He used her, pretending that he was intimate with her, to hide from a colleague.
She was so annoyed and told him to apologise.
He said sorry very perfunctorily as he was leaving.
Xia Xiaoning had just moved apartment. She loved her room where she pasted all the photos of Prince Mo. He was always in disguise or rather wearing a mask so she does not actually know him. She did not know that gorgeous guy is actually her idol, Prince Mo.
Her mother checked her apartment via facetime. She told her mother that her room has a balcony as well and she was doing a 360 when she noticed that her neighbour was the gorgeous annoying guy.
He told her to make sure she deletes his photo she just took or else he will take legal action.
Xia Xiaoning went for another audition to a different company.
The manager said that Xia Xiaoning was not qualified as she did not study dubbing but if she likes she could become an assistant and perhaps gets experience the dubbing industry and she might realised her dream.
Xia Xiaoning was happy about it.
She went to work bright and early the next morning and she had to share the lift with the annoying gorgeous guy who accused her of stalking him.
As it turned out, Xia Xiaoning is the annoying gorgeous guy’s new assistant.
Episode 2
Xia Xiaoning started working as an assistant to Gu Hui Yu. It did not start well because during the first 30 minutes of her first day, she was already asked to leave by Gu Hui Yu.
Xia Xiaoning not really liking her new boss thought that she really has nothing to lose so she took a photo of Gu Hui Yu and told him that she will post it online and accuse him of unfair dismissal.
Gu Hui Yu does not trust her at all. He thinks that she knows his deepest secret of being Mo Boyan or Prince Mo and she was playing with him. So he allowed her to stay but made her really work for her first day.
They he tasked her to get a document signed by Xie Fei.
Xie Fei is Gu Hui Yu business partner. They founded together Pineapple. Xie Fei is in charge of finance and Gu Hui Yu is in charge of contents.
Most of the time these two are not seeing eye to eye. For instance, their latest project Lethe is not approved for finance by Xie Fei. He was dragging his feet to affix his signature.
And this was the task given to Xia Xiaoning. She had to get Xie Fei to sing.
Xie Fei is as gorgeous as Xia Xiaoning. The difference was that Xie Fei was narcissistic, and he knows it too and had no problem with it.
Anyway, Xia Xiaoning went to get his signature but he would not give it. He said that she had to get Gu Hui Yu’s to sign a document first before he signs his.
When she went back to Gu Hui Yu, he told her that he was not signing anything and she was not to come back if he does not sign.
Xia Xiaoning asked for He Yan Ran’s opinion. She told Xiao Xiaoning to not take it too seriously. The men were just posturing.
Anyway, Xia Xiaoning tried to get Xie Fei to sign some more. She told him that she could get Gu Hui Yu to sign Xie Fei document because she has something over Gu Hui Yu. She’ got photos.
Xie Fei was intrigued and finally signed the document which actually surprised Gu Hui Yu that she managed to complete her task.
Xie Fei asked Xia Xiaoning for her plan in getting Gu Hui Yu to sign, Xia Xiaoning played it cool like she was amnesiac.
Xie Fei knew he had been had.
He invited the staff for dinner and drink and Xia Xiaoning was the special guest. As a revenge, he tried to get her drunk.
At first, she told them that she can’t drink.
But in the end, she was still standing and still keeping on drinking while the rest including Xie Fei was in a different state of inebriation.
Gu Hui Yu then called Xia Xiaoning to return to the office and go to the studio with him.
Despite being rather drunk, Xia Xiaoning accompanied Gu Hui Yu to rehearse their new production called Lethe.
Xia Xiaoning got carried away with the role that she ended up kissing Gu Hui Yu.
Episode 3
Though it was really early day yet, Gu Hui Yu was already rather proprietorial towards Xia Xiaoning which was upsetting for Ye Ran, who has a crush on Gu Hui Yu.
Ye Ran hired Xia Xiaoning as Gu Hui Yu’s assistant because she looked harmless and would not say boo to a goose. Now she was regretting her action because within days Gu Hui Yu looked smitten.
I love the bromance between Gu Hui Yu and Xie Fei. They are so cute.
Xie Fei found their employees reading the tarot card during work. So had his fate told and it was read on the tarot that he will meet the girl of his dream soon. She will be carrying cactus and she would near something he hated most.
He was driving when he spotted Xia Xiaoning, who was carrying a pot of cactus. He offered her a lift but she refused to say that she was already near home.
He was surprised that she lives near Gu Hui Yu.
She told him that she was surprised as well when she found out.
They were still talking when they met a woman walking a cute dog.
Xie Fei said that he can’t stand dogs but Gu Hui Yu knelt down next to the dog to stroke it.
Gu Hui Yu remembered the tarot reading about a girl carrying cactus and being near the thing that he hates most which is of course the dog. They looking at Xia Xiaoning, he convinced himself that he was looking at ‘The One’ while he gazes at her.
The next day, he started his plan to get ot Xia Xiaoning. He offered her double her salary and become permanent in her job as his assistant.
She refused but he would not take it. So they played a computer game which Xia Xiaoning won easily but she tripped on a wire. Before he could help her get up, Gu Hui Yu was there and carried her away.
