It’s Okay If You’re a Little Late

Male lead: You Mu

Female lead: Shen Jianhuan

The author’s own list of possible dealbreakers. Please choose what to avoid at your own discretion. Thanks for understanding.

1. The male lead has a first love he can’t forget, and the female lead has had a previous relationship. (These are just part of their romantic histories and don’t affect their feelings for each other.)

2. The second male lead will develop feelings for the female lead, but they won’t end up together. (Otherwise, what’s the male lead supposed to do!)

3. The male lead’s first love will appear later in the story, but only to help bring the leads together, and won’t have much impact. (Otherwise, what’s the female lead supposed to do!)

4. This is a lighthearted, sweet romance, though the leads will have a few misunderstandings. Their conflicts will be resolved quickly, and they won’t go three, four, five, six, or seven years without speaking. (They’re in their thirties. A little bickering is fine, so don’t take it too seriously.)

When Shen Jianhuan returns from a business trip, she discovers that her boyfriend of seven years has been emotionally cheating. Without a second thought, she breaks up with him. She buys a discounted ticket to Yunnan to clear her head, where she runs into You Mu. She had planned to throw herself into her career and make money, but by a stroke of luck, she ends up as You Mu’s assistant.

Everyone at the company knows that You Mu has a childhood sweetheart he loves but can’t have. No one expected him to fall for Shen Jianhuan at first sight. And just as he’s secretly nursing his crush, his strongest rival appears.

When forced to choose between two men, Shen Jianhuan is actually more drawn to her ideal type, but fate has other plans.

This lovesick old bachelor won’t just fight tooth and nail to win her over, he’s even resorted to a few clever tricks.

Who says middle-aged men don’t know how to love? An older man’s love is just as intense as his jealousy.

No matter what, if you’re the one I end up with, then it doesn’t matter if it takes a little longer.
