Cute Programmer
A light romantic comedy built on cross-dressing disguise and workplace misunderstanding, where the central tension is sustained by a secret identity and a fake relationship that becomes real.
Lu Li admires genius programmer Jiang Yicheng and follows his path, excelling in school. After graduation, she disguises herself as a man to join his company, which doesn’t hire women. Balancing work and her secret, she strikes a deal with Jiang Yicheng to become a "contract couple" for a year.
