The Big Shot and His Little Sidekick

Romance blurb:

After more than half a year, Gu Xingzhai finally landed a job.

The employer was Chu Yuchi, master of the magnificent Jinque Tower, the leading name in the precious-object trade in the capital, Shenjing.

At their first meeting,

Jiang Yuan gazed greedily at the magnificent carriage and its equally magnificent occupant,

her eyes gleaming. "I think Jinque Tower is short a bookkeeper..."

Chu Yuchi could barely stand to look at her. He sneered, "I think you're dreaming!"

Later, the two ran into trouble.

Jiang Yuan tied him to herself and dragged him along, carrying him on her back through the rainy night. She panted and sobbed, "Chu Yuchi, don't die, please don't die! If you die, I'll have carried you on my back all night for nothing, and I won't even get paid..."

The night rain fell in sheets. Though he was in agony, he still gave a muffled laugh. Looking at the slender nape before him, he suddenly thought: That really stings.

Notes: 1. Absolutely 1v1, with the plot as the focus.

2. There are lots of original details and fictionalized parts, so please don't overanalyze them.

(The cover was given to me by an artist from Bishui. I wanted to make that clear.)

(One more note: I'm putting the original story on hold for now and switching to this new subject. I had a sudden burst of inspiration and wanted to try something different.)

Theme: Cherish life and never give up
