It's Hard to Be a Phoenix Even If You Climb the Branch Plot:

Su Xiaoman, an ordinary office rookie, crashes a top business banquet to help her best friend, accidentally spilling coffee on the custom suit of the icy CEO Gu Jingshen. Fearing dismissal, she's instead appointed as his personal assistant—not for revenge, but because Gu notices her wit beneath the panic. From fending off the CEO's unwanted suitors to burning the midnight oil on projects, Su shatters the "eye candy" stereotype with her grit. Meanwhile, Gu transforms from a "snarky boss" to a "secret softie": leaving her warm coffee, placing hand warmers during late nights, and even rejecting a family-arranged marriage for her. When the "sparrow" stops wanting to "become a phoenix," the "CEO" falls for her unapologetic self—turns out the sweetest counterattack is loving each other for who we truly are.
