Honey, Don’t Be Scared! I Don’t Hit Hard

Honey, Don’t Be Scared! I Don’t Hit Hard Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, a socially anxious programmer, is cornered by a rude client outside his company late at night, humiliated and on the verge of tears. Suddenly, his girlfriend Su Tang—decked in a frilly lolita dress and holding a lace umbrella—rushes over. No one knows this girl, who pretends to struggle with bottle caps, is a former provincial kickboxing champion. She grabs the client’s wrist with a sweet smile: “You’re so mean, brother~” but uses just enough force to make him wince. Turning to Lin, she waves her tiny fist: “Honey, don’t be scared! I don’t hit hard~” From then on, Su Tang becomes Lin’s “cute protector”—every time trouble comes, she charges in with a frilly skirt, delivering “gentle threats” in the sweetest voice. Lin goes from panicking to feeling at ease: the sweetest security is having someone who’s tough, but only soft for you.
