I Can’t Take It Anymore, My Wealthy Boss Will Torment Me Again

Fang Mian, a diligent executive assistant at Tianyu Corporation, has spent five years in a relationship with her fiancé, Gu Ziqian. Her life unravels when she discovers Gu Ziqian’s infidelity, not just with a stranger, but with her own cousin, Fang Lu. The betrayal is compounded by the revelation that Gu Ziqian has been systematically seducing the women around Fang Mian to understand her preferences better, treating their relationship as a conquest rather than a partnership. In a moment of calculated revenge, Fang Mian decides to sleep with Gu Ziqian’s uncle, Gu Tingye, the cold and powerful CEO of Tianyu, who happens to be her direct superior.

Gu Tingye, initially resistant due to professional ethics and family ties, finds himself unable to reject Fang Mian’s advances. Their encounter in a hotel room is intense and marks a turning point in their dynamic. The next morning, Gu Tingye refuses to let the incident be dismissed as a one-night mistake. He reveals that he recorded the encounter and uses the footage as leverage to force Fang Mian into a deal: she must go on ten dates with him to settle the debt, after which the video will be deleted. Fang Mian, trapped and furious, agrees to the humiliating terms to protect her career and reputation.

The arrangement forces Fang Mian and Gu Tingye into close proximity, blurring the lines between their professional and personal lives. Gu Tingye exhibits a possessive and dominant side, often testing Fang Mian’s boundaries and demanding her attention. Meanwhile, Fang Mian attempts to end her engagement with Gu Ziqian, but he dismisses her concerns as mood swings or temporary anger. Gu Ziqian’s refusal to accept the breakup and his continued pursuit of Fang Mian create a tense love triangle, with Gu Tingye observing the situation with growing jealousy and interest.

As the dates progress, Gu Tingye’s behavior shifts from purely transactional to increasingly protective. He intervenes in Fang Mian’s life, from helping her with work-related issues to showing concern for her well-being during her period. A key moment occurs when Fang Mian collapses from exhaustion at work, leading to a hospital visit where Gu Ziqian’s superficial care contrasts sharply with Gu Tingye’s silent, albeit awkward, presence. This incident highlights the emotional disconnect between Fang Mian and Gu Ziqian, further pushing her toward Gu Tingye.

The story takes a pivotal turn when Fang Mian moves out of her family home to escape the toxic environment created by her stepmother and half-sister. Gu Tingye becomes a regular presence in her new life, eventually staying at her apartment after his clothes are ruined. Their physical intimacy deepens, but emotional barriers remain. Gu Tingye struggles with his growing feelings, while Fang Mian is caught between her desire for freedom from Gu Ziqian and her complicated relationship with her boss.

The narrative explores the power dynamics between Fang Mian and Gu Tingye, as well as the moral ambiguities of revenge and manipulation. Gu Ziqian’s true nature is gradually revealed as he continues to deceive both women, using Fang Lu as a confidante while maintaining his facade of devotion to Fang Mian. The story sets the stage for a confrontation where Fang Mian must choose between her past and her future, while Gu Tingye faces the challenge of balancing his professional authority with his personal desires.
