At a KTV club she is pushed into an encounter with Lu Yan, a domineering chief executive, and receives 100,000 yuan. To raise the remaining sum she applies for a job as a housekeeper at the Lu household, without knowing her employer is the man from that night. Lu Yan treats her with ambiguous affection, and his younger brother Lu Yu also declares his feelings for her. Lu Yan then proposes that Qingqing become his exclusive personal maid; after she moves in and refuses intimacy, she is struck by him.<sup>[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7525021356883184665)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/86)</sup>\n\nThe source novel frames the story around the same premise: Li Qingqing's greatest regret is having sold her first time to Lu Yan and then, by a twist of fate, becoming the maid in his home. Promotional copy for the drama describes the male lead as domineering and obsessive, with forced-love and mutual-redemption elements.<sup>[1](https://www.duanjubaike.net/duanju/info-7525021356883184665.html)</sup> IMDb's synopsis describes the setup as a girl who sells her first time to a rich young man to pay for her brother's heart transplant, then finds him again as the eldest son of the house when she starts a maid job, and he wants to extend their transactional relationship.<sup>[3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38079634/)</sup>\n\n## Cast and production\n\nThe series was directed and written by 梁斌 (Liang Bin) and produced by 七公主剧场.<sup>[1](https://www.duanjubaike.net/duanju/info-7525021356883184665.html)</sup> The credited cast is:\n\n- 李艾笑 (Li Aixiao) as 黎青青 (Li Qingqing)\n- 何连飞 (He Lianfei) as 陆砚 (Lu Yan)\n- 张景羿 (Zhang Jingyi) as 谢泽 (Xie Ze)\n- 张晨 (Zhang Chen) as 宋季禾 (Song Jihe)\n- 张心雨 (Zhang Xinyu) as 陈素云 (Chen Suyun)\n- 张真铭 (Zhang Zhenming) as 沈行 (Shen Xing)<sup>[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7525021356883184665)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/86)</sup>\n\nEpisodes use the standard vertical short-drama format, and the 83 episodes total roughly 90 minutes of screen time.<sup>[1](https://www.duanjubaike.net/duanju/info-7525021356883184665.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38079634/)</sup> IMDb classifies the work as a 2025 TV mini series from China, with a release date of July 14, 2025.<sup>[3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38079634/)</sup>\n\n## Source novel and other adaptations\n\nThe drama adapts *先做* (Xian Zuo), a modern CEO-romance novel by 三狗鱼儿 serialized on Tomato Novel, where it was listed with 37,167 readers.<sup>[1](https://www.duanjubaike.net/duanju/info-7525021356883184665.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/86)</sup> The same novel produced a second short-drama adaptation, *明撩暗动* (Ming Liao An Dong), released 9 August 2025 in 67 episodes, starring 王梓亦, 王燕飞, and others.<sup>[1](https://www.duanjubaike.net/duanju/info-7525021356883184665.html)</sup>\n\n## Reception\n\nThe series is marked as complete and carries high user ratings on the databases that track it, though the figures differ by platform: 8.1 on 短剧百科 (duanjubaike.net), 8.3 on its traditional-Chinese mirror, and 8.4 on Hongguo.<sup>[1](https://www.duanjubaike.net/duanju/info-7525021356883184665.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/86)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7525021356883184665)</sup> Reported heat and play counts also differ between these databases, from 1667万 heat on Hongguo to 4097万 on the traditional-Chinese database, so no single figure can be taken as definitive.<sup>[1](https://www.duanjubaike.net/duanju/info-7525021356883184665.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/86)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7525021356883184665)</sup> Full episodes are distributed free on Hongguo, and compilation uploads of the complete series appeared on YouTube within days of the July 2025 release.<sup>[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7525021356883184665)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0DOzabP5C4)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
