The Devil Boss’s Trap: A Poor Guy’s Rise to the Top

The Devil Boss’s Trap: A Poor Guy’s Rise to the Top Plot:

Lin Yang is the most miserable underdog at the company, crushed by his devilish boss Su Wanqing—revising proposals at 3 a.m., answering her grandma’s calls, even taking the fall for her with clients. One night after overtime, he accidentally wandered into Su Wanqing’s apartment (they live in the same building) and caught her soft side—no sharp suits, just a silk nightgown and simmering red wine. Before he could flee, she cornered him. “Pretend to be my boyfriend, and I’ll teach you how to survive the workplace,” Su Wanqing smirked. Lin Yang realized the “peeking” was her plan: she’s a heiress trapped in a family-forced marriage, needing a “too ordinary to attract attention” decoy. She’d long noticed Lin Yang’s grit and wanted to help him fight back. Lin Yang took the risk: by day, he’s a scapegoat; by night, he’s her “boyfriend”—attending family dinners, learning negotiation tricks. Slowly, Lin Yang went from a doormat to a project lead, while Su Wanqing softened from a “devil” to someone who left him warm milk. When Lin Yang helped Su Wanqing seize control of her family business, she handed him a share certificate. “My trap was never about using you—it was about making you strong enough to stand with me.” Lin Yang smiled: “The first time I saw you with that red wine, I didn’t want to run away anymore.”
