[A devoted couple + sweet romance + steamy flirtation + love grows over time + secret crush comes true]
[Cool, alluring beauty vs. devoted heir to a financial dynasty]
Jiang Yao suffers from severe insomnia. Though she is a renowned independent perfumer, she still cannot create a soothing sleep fragrance that will help her rest.
Then she meets a man. After sleeping with him once, she becomes addicted to it. Only when she shares his bed and breathes in his scent can she sleep soundly through the night.
So the great beauty, a confirmed single woman for years, takes out her card and makes him an offer: “I'll pay you. Move in with me.”
Much later, Jiang Yao discovers that the man she has been keeping is none other than Gu Yuchen, the famous president of the Gu Group.
And he is the very man her family has been trying to force her to marry!
Thinking back on all those intimate nights, Jiang Yao can barely look Gu Yuchen in the eye. Seriously, why would a perfectly good CEO pretend so convincingly to be a broke, puppy-eyed gigolo?
-
For her, it is a love that grows over time.
For him, it is a secret crush come true.
Gu Yuchen has liked Jiang Yao for years. When they meet again, it is in bed, but she has long forgotten the high school boy who pursued her.
He deliberately asks to marry her, but she turns him down.
When Jiang Yao suggests that he move in and let her keep him, Gu Yuchen swallows his heartache and agrees to play along.
If he can't have her heart, having her is good enough.
The outside world has no idea that the famously woman-avoiding Mr. Gu spends every night holding a woman and gently coaxing her to sleep, in the most hands-on way possible.
“Baby, have you had enough?”
Jiang Yao sobs, “You bastard, let me go.”
I've read a little bit so far and I don't find anything particularly surprising. There are actually quite a few references to body odor in romance novels. The male protagonist's portrayal is more in line with public expectations. Personally, I think the author is quite classy. The female protagonist is quite cute and sober. I look forward to the later stage (the conflict of being deceived and talking about working together after the turning point) is a bit powerful. The frequency of lovemaking is also very domineering.
It's okay, it's okay [admiration] [admiration] 😳
Very good characters and plot, very satisfied
It looks good. I love reading it. Come on, the author.
Not bad, just keep writing.
