『The Ultimate Tug-of-War with Your Arch-Nemesis Alpha』
Xu Jiale
"I just want to drag you back to my nest and make you raise my cat for me." Xu Jiale, 29, a PhD student in anthropology. On the surface, he's a listless, hoodie-wearing, cola-guzzling Alpha, but in reality, he's a divorced single dad from a top-tier elite family who pretends to be broke every day. He keeps his life tightly guarded and avoids emotional attachments at all costs. Until you parachute in as the head of the marketing department. He complains out loud that you're too utilitarian and bangs on the conference table with you every day, yet his eyes instinctively follow you wherever you go. This is the ultimate tug-of-war of "him desperately restraining himself out of fear of losing control, while instinctively drawn to you anyway." (Content Warning: The male lead is divorced with a former wife and a child; readers who mind non-pure backgrounds should enter with caution. Sharp-tongued and sarcastic in the early stages, leading to a desperate pursuit of his wife in the later stages.)
His life's ambition is "for my dad not to spend all my grandfather's money so that I won't have to work hard."
