Coming soon: I Inherited an Aquarium. Please add it to your favorites. The blurb is at the bottom~ ★★★ This Novel's Blurb ★★★ Fashion icon Su Manying wakes up in a story set in a bygone era, with a dialogue prompter bound to her. When she transmigrates, she's standing outside a man's room with a bowl of herbal medicine, doing everything she can to force him to drink it. Seeing that the man might be poisoned, Su Manying steels herself and downs the medicine herself. Back in her room, Su Manying suddenly remembers the plot. She's the villainess who married the male lead's disabled older brother to get close to the male lead. The medicine she'd tried to make the male lead drink really had something added to it, but it wasn't poison... When her disabled husband walks in, the prompter switches to insult mode: [I hate you so much! Go on, kill me if you have the guts!] So, after drinking the medicine, Su Manying can't control herself and delivers the line in a coy, seductive voice: "I hate you so much! Go on, kill me if you have the guts..." The next day, covered in love bites and aching all over, Su Manying is close to tears. I was insulting you, and you thought I was flirting? A bewitching little temptress of a heroine * a quiet, devoted hero ★★★ Coming Soon: I Inherited an Aquarium ★★★ Du Ruoxi graduated with a veterinary degree. Her classmates all landed jobs at pet hospitals, where they get to work with adorable furry patients. But because she couldn't afford to grease anyone's palm, she was assigned to the Hailan Aquarium, which is on the verge of bankruptcy and about to be acquired. On her very first day, she has to treat a ferocious Chinese alligator. Rumor has it the last student assigned there had to return to school for reassignment after getting bitten by it. Just as Du Ruoxi prepares to take a blood sample, the Chinese alligator suddenly opens its enormous jaws. Everyone is so terrified they tremble and back away, but Du Ruoxi suddenly hears a voice: Chinese alligator: "Stop drawing my blood! You've already taken five tubes! I just have something stuck in my teeth and don't have much of an appetite. Just pick my teeth, that's all." Startled, Du Ruoxi goes over to check and finds a long fish bone wedged between its teeth. Du Ruoxi: "Then why did you bite someone?" Chinese alligator: "I'm innocent! He thought this place was a dump and wanted to go back to school for reassignment, so he pinned the blame on me!" Du Ruoxi: ... From then on, Du Ruoxi makes her home at the aquarium. She's bound to a System that lets her communicate with aquatic animals. As long as she takes care of them by completing the System's daily tasks, she'll earn rewards. Great white shark: "Lower the tank temperature by two degrees. I have no appetite every day and I've lost two pounds." Manta ray: "A kid just called me ugly. I need counseling. Ruoruo, am I really that ugly...?" Arctic fox: "The deputy director is having an affair with the director's wife. He hooked up with her in his office while the director was away on a business trip, and then said she's as beautiful as me. What a shameless jerk!" Jellyfish: "The cleaner is a spy from the Xinxin Oceanarium next door. They're deliberately causing trouble and making a mess so Xinxin can acquire us!" A year later, Hailan Aquarium has become a popular tourist spot in Jiangcheng. Not only has it avoided being acquired by the neighboring Xinxin Oceanarium, it has acquired Xinxin instead. After repeatedly saving endangered aquatic animals, Du Ruoxi receives public praise from official media and becomes the new director of Hailan Aquarium. Major media outlets rush to report the news: [Congratulations to Ms. Du Ruoxi on becoming a member of the International Marine Animal Protection Association!] [Hailan Aquarium's giant clam produces a rare pearl worth a fortune.] [Hailan Aquarium's exclusive deep-sea coral face mask fades dark spots, reduces wrinkles, and beautifies the skin!] [Hailan Aquarium's secret sauce sells out online as soon as it launches!] [Hailan Aquarium boosts the development zone's dining, entertainment, and hospitality industries. Fu Group invests 5 billion to build a global ocean city.] When Fu Jiangyan, heir to the Fu Group, is sent to manage a run-down, impoverished development zone, he wants nothing to do with it. That is, until he meets Du Ruoxi, with her fair skin and cherry-red lips, cradling a baby sea turtle and talking to herself... Fu Jiangyan realizes he's fallen for her. When he hears Hailan Aquarium is hiring a cleaner, Fu Jiangyan changes his appearance and disguises himself as a pitiful nobody to apply. In the end, he uses his impressive money power to beat out all the other applicants and land the job. After that, he works diligently and conscientiously, scrubbing rust from iron cages, scraping mineral deposits off the glass, and mopping floors whose original color is impossible to make out. When Du Ruoxi returns from a business trip and sees the freshly renovated aquarium, she's impressed by this hardworking, pitiful little cleaner. "Not bad. Thanks for all your hard work. It looks brand-new." The aquatic animals glare angrily at the blushing Fu Jiangyan, but don't dare speak up: It was brand-new to begin with! He replaced everything while you were away! Sob, if we weren't indebted to him for feeding us, we'd report him... When reporters eventually ask Fu Jiangyan how he managed to win Du Ruoxi's heart, he raises an eyebrow. "Hardworking hands." Aquatic animals: As if! Theme: Sincerity can move even stone.
