Blurb
[Two-Faced Assistant | Bossy Young Master | Bickering Couple]
[Violent Fairy | Pretty Boy with a Heart of Glass | Male Lead Pursues His Love]
Northeastern eldest daughter VS Jiangsu-Zhejiang young master
Lin Jixue turned the company’s star cat into a has-been internet celebrity.
The day she quit and took her coworker home with her, the coworker cat didn’t object, so she took that as a yes.
As she left, she left a message on her work desktop:
Run! Stay away from He Cangdong, your boss with a young master complex!
He Cangdong didn’t sue her for libel, so she took that as confirmation.
Later, on the day she confessed, she put her positive-thinking strategy to work.
She thought, since He Cangdong didn’t curse her out, she could assume he’d loved her once.
She never expected him to come through the wind and snow, his cold fingers hovering over her lips.
She heard him say:
“I like you.”
“If you don’t reject me, I’ll take it as a yes.”
Male lead’s perspective:
He Cangdong never understood why he was named Cangdong, when he was born in the watery landscapes of Jiangnan.
Only after meeting Lin Jixue did he find the winter that belonged to him.
Winter always passes, but just as surely, it comes again.
When snow returned to the border town, the young master with a young master complex knocked on Lin Jixue’s door and found his cure.
Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted northern only daughter VS southern youngest son who eats his words
Prissy, self-conscious Northeastern tiger girl VS rough, allergy-prone Jiangsu-Zhejiang young master
