However, his life took an unexpected turn when he was transferred to the Hamayama Sales Office, a place well-known within the company for having only stunningly beautiful women.... more>>

Feeling both nervous and excited, Hanamura reported to work, unaware that he would soon experience a double dose of excitement. You see, these women were not only passionate about their jobs but were equally dedicated to posting web novels. Moreover, they were avid fans of the web novel site and best-selling author “Okome Takashi,” who had published works that sold millions of copies.

What no one knew was that Hanamura was, in fact, “Okome Takashi” himself, secretly engaging in his book-writing activities without the knowledge of his colleagues. As a shy and unpopular guy, Hanamura had poured his hidden desires into his “Okome Takashi” works. Learning that these beautiful women were reading his novels and using them as inspiration dealt a blow to Hanamura’s confidence. He was determined to keep his identity as a novelist hidden at all costs, even as he faced the serious business of work and the creative world with these dedicated women.

The sounds of that summer, when they were in school, reverberate in their ears once more, along with the screaming of a caterpillar that fell on their garments and the laughing of that male classmate who managed to flick it away.

"I'll play one more round."

"Staying up late is bad for your health, it's better to game all night."

"Ugh, so troublesome, let's just go home quickly."

"Hey, didn't you tell me? The money you spent wasn't really spent, you just traded it for a way to accompany something you like."

"No, I'm sealed in by the blanket and can't get up."

"Stood up again? I'm going to destroy this unreliable world."

"Even if I die, I still won't go out to work."

It wasn't like this in the beginning. For an ice mountain lady knight from another world to become like this, it's quite an achievement. Though it's also pretty easy. <<less

A warm-hearted, seemingly upright and talkative supervisor takes the dominant role, while a cold, glamorous, truly icy senior executive assumes the submissive role.... more>>

[From the Perspective of the Younger Party]
After two months of collaboration, Su Yi managed to melt the icy demeanor of the executive after a drunken encounter. The next day, she slipped away while the beauty was showering, leaving a message stating, “I’m sorry, Director Jin. I think we’re better suited for work rather than romance.”

Expecting Jin Yuan to cut ties and distance herself from this “awful woman,” Su Yi found that the alcohol-fueled Jin Yuan either nibbled her ear or nibbled her neck, displaying a habit of tender care towards her. Soon after, a long-lost online friend approached Su Yi to settle an old debt of love.

Caught by Jin Yuan while mingling at a bar, Su Yi retorted, “Are you planning to bring another woman home after drinking again?”

Jin Yuan coldly smirked, “So what if I am? Bring a few more; eventually, I’ll find one who won’t run away.”

Frustrated, Su Yi left the friend behind and coaxed Jin Yuan on the couch.

Her attempt at a kiss was intercepted by her finger, “Supervisor Su, you must decide. Do you want a relationship with me, or just a one-night stand?”

[From the Perspective of the Older Party]
For thirty cold and indifferent years, it was Su Yi who made Jin Yuan realize that she had a heart and emotions. Therefore, she repeatedly showed weakness, allowing Su Yi to have her way with her.

It wasn’t until Su Yi coincidentally discovered a family photo of Jin Yuan’s sister-in-law, combined with the name “Jin Yi,” that she finally understood why Su Yi had fled after their one-night stand. It was because Su Yi had seen the family photo at her bedside.

She placed the photo in front of Su Yi, “Is this… your love?”

Before dawn, Su Yi, who had just been discharged from the hospital two days ago, found herself back in the hospital. However, this time, there was no sign of Jin Yuan in the hospital room.

"The whole story is set in an ideal world for fans chasing stars."

"The main storyline is about a company's growth and expansion through idol group management."

"The protagonist of this story is only the female lead, **while the supporting roles' storylines all serve the protagonist's growth.**"

Jiang Juyou, who graduated from a second-tier university, was on the verge of giving up after having a breakdown from her internship. Suddenly she saw a job posting:

"Looking for interns, 9 to 5, weekends off, social insurances and housing fund provided after being converted to formal employee, internship certificate provided, monthly intern salary 8500, food and housing included, formal salary negotiable, requirement: strong stress resistance."

It's a perfect trap for college students.

Worried that it might be a scam but still went anyway. After arriving, she -

"Ding-"

"Welcome to the Entertainment Company Operations Manual!"

Got bound to a system.

"What the hell?"

Bound to the system, Jiang Juyou was forced to become an entertainment company boss, and so she became someone she hated but also wanted to be - the rich.

[I'm crying but I'm pretending I'm not.jpg]

Jiang Juyou's company became a wind vane in the entertainment industry:

She introduced a new talent show format, and those shows followed suit.

She created new conceptual peripherals, and those companies followed suit.

She operated a new model boy group, and those companies also follo...can't copy, because Jiang Juyou spent too much money.

The fan community shook daily, but Jiang Juyou dodged a bullet.

Fans:

"To the company: Made the petty Entertainment die. To Jiang Juyou: [wry smile] I'll let you off this time."

"Lol, Jiang Juyou got lightly let off because she's too pretty!"

"Can scold the company but don't scold Jiang Juyou!"

"Every time I see Jiang Juyou training trainees, I think why isn't she training me (sorry)"

After Random Entertainment became the hottest company in the industry, Jiang Juyou was isolated by capital.

Capital didn't play with her, so she became capital herself, becoming the main seat at the table, becoming the one everyone had to suck up to -
