Synopsis
Blurb:
-
Tang Ying is in a marriage of convenience.
They are two business partners with a distant relationship, each out to maximize their own interests.
One day, the person she married for convenience, who lived just across the wall from her, summoned her to the general manager's office.
"Move in with me."
"??? We never agreed to live together."
"Are you trying to breach the contract?"
"..."
A capitalist's money isn't easy to earn, and you shouldn't sign a contract carelessly.
Tang Ying gritted her teeth. It was only for a year. She could put up with it.
-
Two people with completely different souls living under the same roof were bound to clash every day.
But as they went back and forth, the balance of power began to shift.
The young woman was like a free-spirited butterfly, unrestrained and always certain of what she wanted.
Later, Xiao Wang realized he was about to lose his grip on her. His heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't control it at all.
Until one day, he cornered her against the office door, held her fingertips, and asked softly, "Tang Ying, would you like to go out with me?"
Tang Ying: ...?
A gentle, chaste man versus a sunny, dramatic actress
They seem to fight like cats and dogs, but their days together are peaceful and happy.
This won't be a long story, and will be complete within 200,000 characters.
Nothing fancy, just a simple, lighthearted little story.
P.S. The male lead has a young daughter. She's adopted, not his biological child!

Blurb:
-
Just out of school, Ji Zheng had nothing but a pretty face.
With hardship bearing down on her from all sides, she was desperate and had no choice but to seek the protection of someone powerful.
Standing beneath the dripping eaves outside the police station, she watched a kindhearted stranger get into a luxury car and disappear into the rain. She quietly made up her mind:
If it had to be someone, it might as well be Yun Xun.
While working as Yun Xun's secretary, Ji Zheng deliberately kept her beauty under wraps, working with the decisiveness of a male assistant.
But in private, she seized every opportunity to appear before Yun Xun in all sorts of looks.
As they grew closer, the normally composed and self-controlled Yun Xun...
Suddenly wanted a purely physical affair, with no strings attached.
Her prey took the bait. Ji Zheng gained enough money and ability to leave for somewhere far away, and told Yun Xun they should part on good terms.
Yun Xun raised his eyes and asked her, "Why did you stop trying to fool me?"
Ji Zheng was surprised, but answered honestly. "I can't keep it up anymore."
Yun Xun looked at her calmly, then let her go without hesitation.
-
Ji Zheng started a new life, with a little coffee shop of her own.
She thought her days would remain peaceful and ordinary forever.
But one day, someone used heavy-handed means to buy her shop.
That night, at the negotiations, she saw Yun Xun again.
He looked just as he always had, handsome and dazzling.
But he rejected every offer she made to reconcile, looking at her only with a deep, burning gaze.
"Come back with me."
Ji Zheng shook her head, just as resolute. "I'm afraid I can't."
Yun Xun's gaze darkened, though his lips curved into a calm smile.
"Is that up to you?"
A scheming beauty versus an aloof heartthrob
She deliberately approaches him in the first half; he uses every means to claim her in the second.

It's quite good. Although short, the development of the romance between the male and female leads is very natural and not melodramatic. I'm quite picky about what I read, but this one really resonated with me. The male and female leads, as portrayed by Zuo Xi, also have very positive values! I highly recommend this sweet drama series that could be adapted for the screen.
Sorry everyone. I wrote the ending but felt it was too fast, but I'm worried that writing too much slice-of-life content will make it seem like filler. However, after some deliberation, I decided to write a couple more chapters of daily life before finishing the story. Sorry, I'll revise it. Thank you for your understanding.
I finished watching it in one night, hehehe, it was so good!!! So sweet!!!
Oh my god, so comforting! Thank you, ma'am. Goodnight!
Oh my god, I won the lottery!
It's a bit late, but congratulations on the completion of the story, author! Hooray! ...
I want to see everyday life with kids, haha, and also the Shen and Xu side stories.
It's really good! Write more!!
Chapter 44 has been replaced. Please take a look when you have time. Sorry to bother you. Have a great holiday!
