An impetuous invitation
The shifting of perceptions
The redeeming quality of Grace
Grace is a very simple creature. She loves her family. She loves her family farm. She loves her job at a prestigious consulting company. She loves cooking and her friends and her faith. One thing she has a hard time enjoying is her boss. Demanding, stubborn, and brilliant, he’s good at what he does and doesn’t mind twisting arms to get his way, and he and Grace have been at each other’s throats since she started working for him three years ago. That is, until in a spontaneous fit of misplaced compassion, Grace invites him to her family farm for a Christmas Party. Then everything changes.
Justin Piece is an island. Independent, free, needing no one. His family and friends he keeps at arm’s length, and he likes it that way. The only one with access to his life is his dependable assistant, Grace. She might be a bit unconventional, but she organizes his life just the way he likes it. Then Grace goes and invites him to her provincial family Christmas party. And from then on, something gnaws at him, filing him with unease until it nearly drives him mad. Grace is from a different world. Grace has no place in his well-ordered, autonomous, sophisticated personal life. After all, he doesn’t need anything, does he? But perhaps instead of autonomous, he is hiding from his difficult past. Perhaps instead of independent, he is only trying to protect himself. And instead of worldly, he is just embittered. And to find redemption, all he needs is a little Grace.

"What is this?" "A wild card, obviously," he shrugged, looking like he was about to tell me to get to the point. All in due time. "Obviously," my smile probably looked sarcastic, like I was making fun of him. Jason had no business being fussy with the position he was in. "Take a look at your surroundings, my love. The situation you find yourself in is less than ideal, and I'm the only one who can save you," I was done being the hurt one. The one who was always left behind. "Now tell me again. What is this?" "A wild card." "This is what I am to you right now," I put the card down on the table and slid it towards him.

Daily Life After a Whirlwind Marriage with the Boss
By a twist of fate, Rong Yan encountered the aloof and aristocratic Chi Jingyuan. After their encounter, they made an agreement: payment settled, no further ties. She thought they would never meet again, but to her surprise, he reappeared-as her boss's boss's boss. Still in her probation period and struggling financially, Rong Yan was on the verge of a breakdown: "What is he thinking? Is he trying to get revenge? He just wants to keep me at Shengshi Group and slowly torture me." Meanwhile, Chi Jingyuan, determined to win over the seemingly timid but resilient woman, remained cold and stern: "Focus on your work." When Rong Yan accidentally discovered she was pregnant, she resolved to keep her job and avoid repeating her mother's past mistakes. Without telling the man, she prepared to face it alone. But Chi Jingyuan rushed to her hometown overnight. With a stern expression but a gentle tone, he said, "I will marry you." From then on, the powerful business tycoon wore a cold face at work: "This proposal is unacceptable. Redo it." Yet at home, he was practically kneeling on a washboard, pleading: "Honey, I need a hug~" Rumors spread online: Shengshi's boss's wife was said to be old, unattractive, and rigid-a marriage of convenience with no love. Then the company made an official announcement, and everyone was shocked. What? The boss's wife has been right beside us all along???

What used to be a boring, organized life and job for Kang Aeji has now turned into an unexpectable rollercoaster, filled with hate, attraction, jealousy, and everything in between. To put it simply, she's organized, (to a point... nobody's perfect, right?) and just about getting through each day. Don't get me wrong, she seeks excitement and drama, but more of a hopeless worker . That was until he entered the picture. Yang Jungwon. A bratty, rich, and incredibly full-of-himself man who seemed to think the world owed him everything. And now, for unexplainable reasons, he was her boss. As if her life wasn't complicated enough, this self-absorbed, smug, and annoyingly handsome guy was about to turn her neatly folded world upside down. She couldn't quite decide if she hated him or... something else. He was frustratingly charming sometimes, at other times, he was an insufferable pain in the ass. It was the kind of non-understandable thing. But the closer they worked together, the harder it became to ignore the tension between them. Hate was easy to understand. Attraction? Not so much.Complete
