The CEO Who Shrank: A Tiny Boss’s Journey Back to Love

About this drama

"Nan Lichen, CEO of Shengyi Group, carries a family curse—at age 25, he unpredictably reverts to childhood. Six years ago, he and Chi Yuan fell in love, but a corporate power struggle led to a car crash that left him comatose and amnesiac. Injured and shrunk by his condition, he stumbled into Chi Yuan’s home. Mistaking him for her missing son Chi Chi, she took him in. Meanwhile, the real Chi Chi was kidnapped and delivered to the Nan family—where his uncanny resemblance exposed their ""shrinking CEO"" secret. At the hospital, doctors accused Chi Yuan of neglect when the boy (actually Nan Lichen) fell ill. Hearing her cry, he murmured her nickname ""Yuan Yuan,"" sparking fragmented memories. He later escaped IV drips to evade his delayed rescue team. Meanwhile, the real Chi Chi—now at Shengyi Group—was forced to impersonate the CEO in a board meeting. His childish approval of a resignation demand made scheming uncle Nan Jingxing suspicious... Years earlier, Chi Yuan had awakened from a coma abroad with no memory of Nan Lichen, raising their son alone. Now reunited by fate, she believes the miniaturized CEO is her long-lost child. Young Chi Chi thinks his ""little brother"" is just another stray his mom adopted—until he impersonates his father via email to save the company. As Nan Lichen uncovers the truth, he fights to reclaim his love and protect his accidental family—while outmaneuvering his uncle’s corporate coup and the patriarch’s rejection. When Chi Yuan’s memories return, the family unites to break the curse. Nan Lichen proves his worth beyond boardrooms, Chi Chi completes his ""Daddy Project,"" and they forge a future—one where love triumphs over bloodline fate. "
