Fair-skinned and beautiful, with a lovely face and a sweet voice.
She carries the most expensive handbags, drinks the most authentic afternoon tea, and can never unscrew a bottle cap when there's a man around.
The things she posts most often on her social media are cooking and flower-arranging classes. Her list of male backups runs alphabetically from A to Z.
Ji Yaoyao is the very definition of a green tea girl.
A green tea girl should act like one. Ji Yaoyao's goal is to land a rich husband as soon as possible and become a genuine rich man's wife.
But she made a careless move and got caught out.
The person who should have ended up in a hotel bed was instead her rich target's childhood sweetheart and fiancee: the formidable eldest Miss Gu, feared throughout the business world for her swift and ruthless methods.
The next day, Miss Gu said, "I really like your voice."
Ji Yaoyao's heart leapt with joy. She hadn't landed a rich husband, but Miss Gu was wealthy and powerful, and someone most people couldn't hope to reach. That was even better.
Who would have thought Gu Yun wouldn't take out a check, but instead produce a gold-edged business card?
"Our company happens to be looking for a voice actor. Give it some thought."
1. This isn't saying that beautiful women with sweet voices who enjoy cooking, afternoon tea, and buying handbags are green tea girls. If anyone is offended, the author will be the first to slide onto the tracks.
2. The heroine has no tragic circumstances. She really does just want to marry a rich man.
3. This is the tragic story of a gold digger who fails to latch onto a rich man and instead gets a lesson from a ruthless capitalist. I hope everyone takes warning from it: take pride in loving work, and be ashamed of idleness!
4. This story is extremely melodramatic, very melodramatic, outrageously melodramatic!
Coming next: "Marriage of Fate." Please add it to your reading list:
After the dazzling Lantern Festival night, the carefree young Miss Duan found herself troubled by a matter of the heart.
While setting a lantern afloat by the river, she nearly slipped into the water. A young gentleman wearing a mask rescued her, saving her life.
The gentleman in white was graceful and courteous. Duan Manran fell in love at first sight and vowed she would marry no one but him.
The young man couldn't refuse her, so he left her his name: Lin Chongting, the second young master of the Lin family in the General's Mansion.
But when they met again later, Lin Chongting was dressed in black, stern and unsmiling. The look he gave Duan Manran was icy, as though he didn't remember her at all.
Even when she summoned the courage to confess her feelings, his eyes were full of mockery and indifference, as if she were nothing but a joke.
Fortunately, Duan Manran pursued him relentlessly and finally won her way into Lin Chongting's heart. They married openly and honorably, and her heart's desire was finally fulfilled.
.
Lin Chongting had two secrets no one knew.
First, she was actually a woman, disguising herself as a man for reasons of her own.
Second, it wasn't she who had rescued Duan Manran during the Lantern Festival. It was her biological brother, Lin Xun. Duan Manran had offered herself to the wrong savior.
What's more, Duan Manran's fall into the river that night was no accident. Lin Chongting had ordered one of her subordinates to make it happen.
At first, Lin Chongting wanted nothing more than Duan Manran's life.
Later, she wanted her heart.
In the bridal chamber, candles burned brightly. Watching the smiling bride beneath her red veil, Lin Chongting lowered her eyes, silently drank the nuptial wine, then leaned down and kissed the woman's red lips.
But every secret has a moment when it can no longer be kept hidden.
#When secrets come out, of course there's a crematorium arc#
Before You Start:
1. The second female lead genuinely planned to kill the heroine. It wasn't a misunderstanding.
2. In the first dozen or so chapters, before the second female lead's identity is discovered, the narration mainly uses "he" to refer to her.
