A Record of a Beijing Girl Taming a Northeastern Bad Boy
Blurb:
“Song Yuanzhi, 29, HR manager. Her life KPIs are mapped out precisely: married and owning a home before 35.”
“Mo Junyao, 26, a roguishly handsome chef. His motto in life: ‘Have fun today, don’t put it off.’”
When the meticulous Beijing girl comes across a Northeastern guy on a social app, with “Live for the Moment” tattooed on his collarbone, she thinks, “Why not have a short-term relationship?”
But after he starts crashing at her place…
The down payment fund she carefully planned becomes “limited-edition sneakers plus nights out drinking with the boys.”
The resume she tidies up for him gets folded into a paper airplane as he says, “I don’t need this.”
Even her greatest strength, conducting “employee conversations,” is no match for his line: “Sis, you look so sexy when you’re bossing me around.”
Then one day, she discovers that this seemingly carefree man has saved a list of all her likes on his phone, and the notches on his kitchen knife match the number of strokes in the character “Yuan.”
The Yuan River will eventually flow east into the sea, and the northern mountains are willing to bow before her.
