No one knew the fired worker was CEO's secret wife. Bullies panicked as he defended her!

Overview

A long corporate-drama love story unfolds where a staff power struggle, corporate politics, and a hidden identity collide.

Main Plot

• Rumors and humiliation at Jicheng: The long-time employee Jiang Jirou (also referenced as Jiru/Shirou in subtitles) is targeted by her boss Manager Sun. Despite her attempts to defend herself, she is eventually fired on flimsy grounds, especially after refusing to apologize first and stepping up to advocate for fairness—triggering a cycle of humiliation and institutional bias (“veteran vs newcomer”).

• Secret marriage revealed: Meanwhile, Chairman Su secretly married a “country bumpkin”—who is then revealed to be Jiang Jirou, the same woman being bullied and fired at Jicheng. When Jirou and Chairman Su appear, the bullies panic as they realize they’ve been attacking someone connected to the highest authority.

• Business deal turns into a fight over inheritance/shares: Internal conflict within the Su family intensifies. Su Yan and other relatives try to strip Jirou/Jiang Jirou of Su Group shares, using staged accusations and social pressure to force a divorce. The board and executives repeatedly attempt to reclaim shares based on purported “evidence.”

• “Deep Blue Heart” twist: Jirou’s rumored fake “deep blue heart” is initially used to mock her legitimacy, but later it becomes a crucial proof of her true identity—linking her to the wealthy Shu family through lineage.

• Coup through reputation + proof: Jirou’s enemies escalate with sabotage (tampered tea), framed claims (such as “assault”), and “evidence” like video footage. In response, Chairman Su and allies counter with security footage, tests, and genuine investigations, uncovering corruption.

• Family confirmation at climax: In the end, DNA/paternity testing confirms Jiang Jirou is the lost Shu granddaughter/heiress, clearing her identity and collapsing the attackers’ leverage. The Shu family agrees to cooperate with the Su business, and the main antagonists are removed from power or stripped of control.

Highlights, Jokes, and Standout Reactions

• Bullies panicking when the truth hits: Early on, people mock Jirou as a lowly employee who “never qualified” to marry Chairman Su—then they’re stunned when Chairman Su insists he’s there for lunch with his wife, not games of corporate status.

• “Ordinary person” flex (irony): The repeated contradiction—Jirou being treated as a “maid/lowly employee/country bumpkin,” while she’s actually the person who secures major deals and holds real status—drives much of the show’s irony.

• Awards/credit theft showdown: After the Su Group deal is won, Manager Sun tries to steal credit, but Jirou’s side forces accountability, reframing the conflict as more than romance: it’s about who gets recognition and who gets punished.

• Chairman Su’s blunt, controlling devotion: He cuts off doubts with statements like it’s his “wedding gift” to her, consistently prioritizing his wife over executives and meetings—both intimidating and protective.

• Food + “spring breeze optimism” moment: A tonal shift occurs where grief and optimism are discussed sincerely, interrupting corporate conflict and acting like a motivational reset before the next crisis.

• Giant identity reveal payoff: The “deep blue heart” and later DNA confirmation function as long-running mystery payoffs: viewers are mocked for doubting her, and the plot flips into proof of legitimacy.

• Antagonists’ escalation: The ending focuses on social assassination attempts—forcing a divorce, reclaiming shares, and painting Jirou as a seductress/mistress—only for the narrative to treat these as desperate, repeatedly disproven lies.

Key Character Dynamics (Why It Matters)

• Jiang Jirou vs. Manager Sun: Jirou stands on principle (wrong is wrong, hierarchy doesn’t justify unfair demands), while Sun uses hierarchy and embarrassment tactics.

• Jiang Jirou vs. Su Yan’s power: Su Yan sees her as a threat to family reputation and inheritance control; Jirou sees the marriage as a promise she won’t break.

• Chairman Su vs. the board: He’s willing to fight internal politics—using reputation-defense strategies and investigation—to keep Jirou protected.

• Shu family mystery: The story plants that Jirou has a hidden origin, making the “who is she really?” thread essential to the final corporate/inheritance resolution.
