The sequel to The Wilderness Queen’s Variety Show Comeback, The CEO’s Country Romance, tells the story of Xia Wanning and Gu Yanzhou, CEO of Yanshi Group, as they pursue love on the rural livestream variety show Life on the Ridge.
After stepping away from the spotlight, Xia Wanning returns to the countryside of Yunshui Village, only for Gu Yanzhou to arrive out of the blue. The impeccably dressed CEO claims he’s there to “inspect a project,” but he’s really come for her. In their rural life together, he makes a fool of himself trying to learn, chops wood and protects her, and uses data to face-slap her critics. He’s awkward, but deeply devoted.
Yet beneath the calm, trouble is brewing. Anonymous threatening letters point to a secret from eighty years ago, while old copper coins and shards of pottery reveal a story from the Republic of China era. As Gu Yanzhou’s protection of her extends beyond the cameras, and Xia Wanning discovers he’s been quietly watching over her for three years, the two grow closer among the ridges, haystacks, and tea groves, their sweet moments bringing them ever nearer to the long-buried truth.
The CEO’s awkward tenderness collides with the queen’s wild, spirited nature. Sweet romance and suspense intertwine in a tale of love and mystery among the fields.
