Yang Xiyue is an unremarkable working girl in a county town. She has a rural household registration and a junior college diploma, rents a single room for 500 yuan, and goes to work every day. Her life is as still as a ripple-free pond.
She is perfectly happy with it. It would be even better if she could save enough to buy a home.
Then, on her way to work, she unexpectedly runs into a gorgeous, aloof woman who seems strangely familiar. From then on, her life turns upside down. In short, she's doomed.
Shen Qinglan is the heir to a conglomerate, a pampered, imperious darling of fortune. The only stain on her life is that, during college, she was seduced and then heartlessly dumped by a junior college girl from a neighboring school. It drove her crazy for years.
But all that's in the past now. She's already forgotten... Can someone tell her why, after randomly picking a small county town to unwind in, she has run into that woman again?
After their reunion, Shen Qinglan looks down on Yang Xiyue's ordinary office-drone life. Since leaving her, her penniless ex can't ride in a Rolls-Royce or wear Van Cleef & Arpels anymore. All she can do is commute to work nine to five on her little electric scooter, then set up a street stall in the evening to make extra money!
Shen Qinglan is going to go up to her and mock her mercilessly, making her regret ever leaving!
Shen Qinglan thinks coldly as a door suddenly swings open in front of her. A head pokes out, radiating helplessness, and begs her, "Miss, I really was wrong. I have work tomorrow. Please stop knocking."
The gossipy neighbors will talk her to death.
The young heiress lifts her chin, folds her arms, and says with an air of aloof superiority, "I'm coming in."
The heiress, who's never known hardship, looks around the rental and complains, "Tsk, what kind of lousy bed is this? It makes my back hurt."
"This place is tiny. Even the bathroom in my house is bigger than your whole rental."
"Can you even walk around in here, Yang Xiyue? Why can't you find somewhere better to live!"
Yang Xiyue says expressionlessly, "If you don't want to stay, go back to your mansion. This is what I've got."
"You're so annoying. I never said I wasn't staying. I want pork-stuffed green peppers for dinner."
"I know. You're so annoying, freeloading off me for food and board every day."
Diligent working girl Yang Xiyue x freewheeling heiress Shen Qinglan
The pursuer is an ordinary woman. Her grades and school were nothing special, and she has lived in a small county town for a long time. The other lead is better off in those respects, but she'll stay in the small county town with her. If that's not your thing, feel free to pass.
