[Gorgeous, vivacious older woman vs. shy, secretly flirtatious younger man] [Sister-obsessed / mutually devoted / sweet romance / love that grows over time] [A gentle, slow-burn sweet romance]
Zhang Jiayao, nicknamed “Scumbag Yao,” takes on an outrageous job to pay off an astronomical car repair bill: turn Mu Ye, the socially anxious, lifelong-single heir to a powerful Beijing family, into a ladies’ man and party animal.
She brings out all her worldly charm and plans to get the job done quickly and take the money.
She thinks she’ll only have to teach him to drink, drive, and be romantic. But little by little, she ends up teaching him how to find his way into her heart.
From their initial mutual resistance, to awkward acceptance, to a falling-out over a lie, and finally reconciliation, she discovers that this younger man, pure as a blank sheet of paper, has a power greater than his lavish spending: his unreserved sincerity and love can shatter every layer of her defenses.
When the job is done, she turns to leave, but he pulls her tightly into his arms. “You taught me every skill I need to beat the world, but you never taught me how to get through the rest of my life without you.”
From then on, this orphan with no parents is not only cherished by her kind adoptive family, but also spoiled like a one-of-a-kind, true princess by the man who has the whole world at his feet.
This is a novel that’s both steamy and heartfelt.
