After Winning a Billion-Yuan Lottery, the Movie Emperor and I Took Up Farming

She’d had enough of the “996” grind in a major city!

On her birthday, top-tier workhorse Lu Ming bought a lottery ticket on a whim and won a billion yuan jackpot!

To hell with KPIs!

Lu Ming quit her job in a flash and escaped the concrete jungle. In Yuncheng, where spring lasts all year, she bought a plot of land and set out to become a carefree farm owner, smelling the flowers and ignoring the sound of office chat notifications.

A year later, her lovingly created Youyou Farm was like a paradise on earth, and it unexpectedly caught the eye of the director of the hugely popular rural variety show Return to Country Living.

Lu Ming had planned to politely decline the hassle, but then she saw a name on the guest list that made her heart race: the aloof movie star Gu Yu!

To get close to her idol (crossed out)... and support the arts, Lu Ming happily agreed.

The director had a keen eye, recognizing Lu Ming’s fresh, down-to-earth charm and her identity as a farm owner, and eagerly invited her to join the show as a “special guest.”

Feed lambs, pick strawberries, and watch fireflies with Gu Yu? She had to seize this windfall of an opportunity!

On camera, she was Boss Lu, warm and cheerful, with a knack for running the farm. Off camera, she was Lu Ming, doing her best to hide her giddy excitement as a fangirl.

But as they spent time together, Lu Ming discovered that this movie star, who seemed as distant as an isolated island onscreen, was secretly gentle and adorably awkward.

And Gu Yu, in turn, gradually found himself drawn to this “newly rich little landowner,” whose clear smile recalled the call of a deer and whose farm was brimming with life.
