Black Pearl

Pearl hunter Ruan Shu Zhi looks just like her surname suggests: fair and soft, though in reality she's a scheming little dumpling with a sharp tongue.

She rents out her family's villa at Bu Lai Po exclusively to independent pearl hunters, and plans to make a career out of being a landlady for life.

After all, her villa has a cool big sister who can turn her hands into blades, an adorable but fierce water-controlling little girl, a hulking man who can turn invisible at will, and a refined scoundrel who can distill toxins.

All she has to do is hide behind her dear tenants and leave the whimpering to herself. Charging into battle is just too exhausting.

Chi Jue is a big-shot music producer to the outside world, but in truth, he's the leader of an official pearl-hunting organization.

The first time he met Ruan Shu Zhi, she was fully armed and masked, snatching a lesser black pearl right out of his hands.

The second time he met her, he fell for her fair, soft little face.

Then the big shot became bewitched, but just as he desperately tried to get close to her, he came to his senses: No, my work would put her in far too much danger.

Until one day, Chi Jue discovered that she was the legendary landlady of Bu Lai Po...

Chi Jue: Ruan Ruan, do you still have any rooms for rent?

Ruan Shu Zhi: No, they're all occupied.

Chi Jue: That's great, Ruan Ruan! I'll rent your room and sleep with you~

Ruan Shu Zhi: ???

[Reader's Guide]

1. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. Aiming for plenty of comedy (except in Chapter One, so please don't drop the novel after reading just the first chapter). I'll try to balance the feel-good romance with depth.

3. The heroine comes from a terrible family, so she's genuinely timid when it comes to romance early on. Accepting the hero's love is part of her healing process.

4. Readers are very welcome to offer writing advice in detailed two-point reviews! This silly author still thinks she's growing as a writer! Advice in [detailed two-point reviews] is welcome! Remember to give it two points! Remember to make it a long review! And please go easy on me! Have a little mercy on this shameless but fragile-hearted author! (Hehe, I can be shameless and spineless, but I still want your support!)
