Bittersweet fiction, small-town rental-room fiction
[Money-Hoarding Heroine vs. Obsessive Young Man]
A modern-day office worker, a virgin who has been single for twenty years, somehow becomes the exquisite Yu Chanjiao, abandoned by her own father in the countryside to guard the village and work as a shampoo girl to support her younger brother.
The moment she opens her eyes, she nearly gets thoroughly ravished by a man on a dilapidated wooden bed.
That impoverished man is Yin Jichen. By day, he paints walls and repairs cars; by night, he runs a barbecue stall. He works nonstop like a spinning top, yet can barely afford a proper meal and has to make do with expired bread and milk.
In the future, his biological mother, Qiao Lan, who owns billions in assets and is seriously ill, will find him and announce that she intends for him to marry the second daughter of the Lu Group.
As for Yu Chanjiao, after she tries to blackmail Qiao Lan, she will be knocked unconscious on her way home one night, stuffed into a sack, and thrown into the deep sea as shark bait.
The suffocating pain of that ending washes over her.
The modern office worker’s heart gives a jolt:
She shoves the man off her and makes a run for it.
He pulls her back. “Little A-Jiao~ Where do you think you’re going?”
“The bathroom.”
“Not at a crucial moment… You’re not going anywhere.”
His large hand sweeps her up and lays her back down where she was before.
