My next book will be "After Seeing Through the Plot, the Cannon-Fodder Female Lead Goes Off the Rails." Scroll down for the blurb!
Li Wanqiu disliked Ji Jinyan's prim, abstinent demeanor. The first time they met, she declared, "I'm not interested in anyone older than me."
She expected Ji Jinyan to fly into a rage, but Ji Jinyan wasn't the least bit displeased. Instead, she simply smiled faintly, calm and unruffled, looking at Li Wanqiu as if she were a three-year-old child, as though she didn't take her seriously at all.
Li Wanqiu was annoyed. Realizing they weren't cut from the same cloth, she instinctively tried to keep her distance. Yet, somehow, she kept getting entangled with Ji Jinyan. When she got lost, Ji Jinyan guided her. When she got drunk, Ji Jinyan held her. Even on business trips, Ji Jinyan stayed in the room next door.
At a banquet, Li Wanqiu got drunk again. In a daze, she grabbed Ji Jinyan by the collar and provoked her, only to have Ji Jinyan pin her hands down and sternly reprimand her, her gaze deep and unreadable.
Every word made Li Wanqiu's face turn red. It took her a while to react, and then she asked with tears in her eyes, "What did you say? Aren't you called Jinyan..."
Before she could finish, the woman in front of her kissed her. Then, raising an eyebrow with a faint smile, she said slowly, "That's right. I do behave myself around you, Jinyan."
"But Shen Xing has nothing to do with me."

Much later, Li Wanqiu finally worked up the courage to pass her a little note asking how she felt: "Do you hate me?"
That evening, she received a bouquet of blooming daisies. A note was hidden among the flowers. When she opened it, she found the word "hate" secretly crossed out and replaced with a heartfelt confession.
"No."
"I like you too much to hate you."
Age gap: the pursuer is seven years older than the pursued. A scheming, reserved boss pursues a feisty, tsundere heiress.

Please add my other book, "After Seeing Through the Plot, the Cannon-Fodder Female Lead Goes Off the Rails," to your reading list. Here's the blurb:
After years of hard work, Ye An finally reached the pinnacle of success. Then one day, she suddenly had an epiphany and realized she was a cannon-fodder side character in a novel, destined to die soon, with only a few years left to live.
Devastated by the realization, Ye An spent her days drowning her sorrows in bars. Then one day, she heard that Xia Yihuan, her longtime rival, had nearly gone bankrupt because of one disastrous decision.
Unable to bear watching the once-unattainable beauty wither away, Ye An decided, in the interest of earning good karma for her next life, to help her old enemy.
There was one condition: for the next three years, Xia Yihuan would be her personal assistant, obeying her every order without complaint.
At this critical moment, with her life and livelihood at stake, Xia Yihuan had no choice but to bow her head in humiliation. "Fine."
Ye An: Why does this feel kind of great?
And so, in the days that followed, Ye An watched Xia Yihuan act as the stern, aloof CEO by day, then ordered her to knead her shoulders, rub her back, and bring her tea at night. She was thoroughly enjoying herself.
Until three years later, when all her money was gone and her life was about to end.
Ye An chose to go out with some dignity. She lay quietly on a bed of rose petals, waiting for death to come.
But... she lay there until the early hours of the next morning, aching all over, and still nothing happened. After getting checked out, she learned the script had gotten it wrong. She could actually live to ninety-nine.
Ye An, who had been given a new lease on life but had already squandered all her fortune and had less in her pockets than on her face: "What kind of scam is this?!"
To make the rest of her life a little easier, Ye An had no choice but to swallow her pride and beg Xia Yihuan for mercy. But Xia Yihuan was just like her former self and insisted on naming a condition.
Ye An: "...Go ahead. I'll do my best."
Xia Yihuan: "It's nothing difficult. You can definitely do it."
Ye An, puzzled: "What?"
Xia Yihuan smiled brightly. "Kiss me."
.
Xia Yihuan had always known she was the protagonist, blessed with a powerful halo. Her life had gone smoothly for more than twenty years, and she'd never failed at anything, except when the System messed up and inexplicably bankrupted her company.
Until one day, she became bound to her longtime rival, Ye An, and turned into her personal assistant.
From then on, every night she stayed by Ye An's side until she fell asleep, Xia Yihuan was utterly defeated. Her heart pounded like crazy, and she could barely calm herself down.
Eventually, the System couldn't stand it anymore. It offered her a whole list of tempting rewards, hoping to make Xia Yihuan leave Ye An and return to the top. But before it could finish, Xia Yihuan refused without hesitation: "I can give up fame, status, money, and power."
"But she has to be mine."

One-on-one, happy ending
Theme: Expressing love can overcome anything, help two people grow together, become better, contribute to society, and take responsibility.
Suddenly it occurred to me that a star necklace was being auctioned, but I didn't seem to say anything in the end.
I read it in one sitting, it was really enjoyable, it was so well written, and it made me feel heart-warming.
So sweet! It was so good that I stayed up late to read it all in one go! It's so sweet that it seems like there are hearts everywhere!
I haven't read this article because of the name. I read it today. It's so sweet. This woman Ji is so good at flirting.
Every day I read about the protagonists falling in love in novels, it seems like I am in love too! So sweet!
It has been several years since I cried. I first met in high school and now I am working. I came across this novel by chance and thought it was very well written. When I saw the author, I was still a little surprised. Hahaha, Qiulang's writing is getting better and better.
Woohoo, this is so sweet
It is also a very good book. Aqiu is a bit like me. I was betrayed when I made friends. I failed to learn to walk on the catwalk when I was a child (I was so young that I didn't even know that I was framed by my friends). Then I left the show with regret. I still have no friends now. It's not bad to travel around alone 😳 Good night
Well written, 5555 lines of flowing water are warm and refreshing. I feel a bit sad that it ended so quickly.
Why did I cry the whole time this time?
