Can't Get the Goddess? I Found My Ultimate Wingman!

Lin Xiaochuan, a love-shy programmer, has had a crush on Su Wanwan, his company's “goddess,” for three years. But every attempt to get close turns into a disaster—he gives her sugar-free milk tea when she loves full sugar, spills her coffee while delivering documents, and even sends a WeChat message saying “I like your dog” instead of “I like you.” Just as he’s about to give up, a “Wingman Match” app pops up, and he shakes up Shen Xing, a quirky girl who claims to have a “100% success rate in love.” Shen Xing forces him to trade his boring jacket for a trendy checkered shirt, teaches him to start conversations with “What’s your go-to milk tea sweetness?”, and even plans a “rainy night umbrella rescue”—only for the umbrella to leak, leaving Shen Xing shivering in the rain while wrapping her coat around Su Wanwan. But the real shock comes when Lin overhears Shen Xing telling Su Wanwan: “I’m testing this dork—if he’s sincere, he’s worth your time.” Turns out Shen Xing is Su Wanwan’s childhood friend, and she’s not just a wingman—she’s a “happiness detector” for her bestie. When Lin finally works up the courage to confess to Su Wanwan, he pauses: why does his heart race more when he thinks about Shen Xing’s dimples than Su Wanwan’s smile? The girl who helped him chase the “goddess” might just be the one he’s been waiting for all along.

The Day I Got Fired, I Slapped My Boss with Traditional Chinese Medicine Skills

Lin Xiaoman, the "scapegoat" of an advertising company, was just fired by her mean boss Zhou Min for being "low-cost-effective". While packing, she knocked over her grandma's jade pendant and accidentally activated the family's traditional Chinese medicine system—hiding her great-grandma's imperial medical skills! As soon as she walked out, she saw Zhou Min suffering from a sudden angina attack. Lin Xiaoman relieved it with one acupuncture needle and pulled out a medical report to expose Zhou's "pretending to be sick for sympathy". Coincidentally, the cold CEO Gu Jingshen was leaning against the wall due to old cold legs. Lin Xiaoman cured him with moxibustion and massage on the spot, and Gu directly offered her a job as his personal doctor with ten times the salary. Zhou Min, who wanted to curry favor with the former "soft柿子", was met with Lin Xiaoman holding the dismissal notice with a smile: "Please pay the compensation, or I'll use acupuncture to help you 'remember' the evidence of workplace bullying?" Between the satisfaction of slapping the boss and Gu's subtle pursuit, Lin Xiaoman's "fired逆袭 game" is getting more and more exciting!
