Synopsis

Xiao Rong debuted with the girl group N-O-I and immediately became a top-tier star.

But before three years had passed, the group broke up after the leader's relationship with the rapper in the group fell apart.

In the four-member group, everyone except her paid an astronomical contract termination fee and left. Everyone thought that Xiao Rong, who had no powerful connections, would never make a comeback.

No one expected her to get involved with the biggest female star in all of show business.

Fans were in an uproar, all saying that Xiao Rong was reaching above her station by dating Jing Tianyue.

But one of the two herself, Jing Tianyue, who hadn't even bothered to accept an interview when she divorced her ex-husband, actually agreed to an exclusive interview.

"Actually, I'm the one who's reaching above my station."

* A fabulously wealthy, just-for-fun older woman x a younger woman with no ambition who is a hopeless romantic

* Looks like a sweet story with a straightforward romance

* Age gap: 12+

* Older woman is the pursuer, and she's been married before. There will be some flashbacks early on, so proceed with caution if that's an issue.

This novel will be added to the VIP section on May 9, 2020. There will be three updates that day~

Theme: Strive to become a better version of yourself and run toward the one you love

Just Give Me a Bite of That Dog, What’s the Problem? ()

I'll never stop searching for delicious stories about pretty, feminine tops and tough, masculine bottoms amid all the aggressive-top and girly-bottom stuff! (They're all yuri, so don't get the wrong idea.)

Keeping track of what I've read. (Personal taste. I forgot some of these as soon as I finished them, so the entries I can't remember are pretty slapdash.)

Yuri GL, Bottom-Centric

Most are bottom-focused, with a few switching-top stories that lean toward the bottom. Older, wish-fulfillment tops are all top-tier.

Showbiz GL with Great Stories Within Stories

The title says it all. I like showbiz stories, especially ones with well-written stories-within-stories, though those are hard to find and good ones are rare.

Girls' Love Reading List

I'm pretty picky and have read plenty. I like older tops, versatile pairings, or bottom-oriented stories. If the writing is good, I'm not picky about the plot; if the plot is good, I'm not picky about who's top or bottom.

Yuri GL

Stories I like. The POV usually leans toward the shou, and some couples switch roles. I don't like brainless, sugary-sweet characters. If we have similar tastes, feel free to recommend something to me.
