[Blurb]

A pure-hearted, tsundere puppy-like younger woman & a cool, restrained, mature woman

Mutual pining, sweet romance

Yi Qingnan has had a run of bad luck this year, suffering two mishaps.

First, her blind date turned out to be the one who had left without a word, her unforgettable first love.

Second, she cherishes her hands like her life depends on them, yet first hot soup scalded her hand, then she broke a bone. She covered her face and cried. She makes her living with her hands... as a designer.

In her memories, her first love was a passionless, restrained type, a cool and proper person who kept to an innocent image.

Just looking at her made people cry out, "Big sis!"

So what is going on now?

Her first love gets drunk and pitifully asks her to help blow-dry her hair.

Her first love gets lost and, eyes brimming with tears, tells her not to worry about her.

Her first love loses at cards and anxiously asks her to go easy on her.

Has she changed?

She's faking it!

Hasn't she changed?

As if anyone would believe that!

[You weren't like this before. You were so cool, so dominant, so much like a big sister.]

[Uh, I just have a bit of a bicep.]

Her first love is called Shi Yuan. Time passes, but some things don't change: she still wishes to return.

[Blurb for the upcoming novel]

Caught up in family turmoil, blacklisted by her company, and facing a business alliance marriage, Jian Ning has no choice but to enter into a contractual engagement with the head of the Shen family.

It will last one year, after which they will go their separate ways.

Rumor has it that the head of the family, Shen Yangzhou, is breathtakingly beautiful, highly capable, and has many lovers. Unfortunately, she's a cripple.

She navigates the business world in a wheelchair, or so the rumors say. No one has ever seen her.

Curious, Jian Ning eagerly awaits their first meeting before the engagement.

Shen Yangzhou doesn't show up. Instead, Jian Ning sees a Persian cat sitting in a wheelchair, there as her representative.

Jian Ning: ...

What an insult! I'm marrying a cat, is that it? I'll cheat on you tonight!

The bar is noisy.

It was only an empty threat at first, but after a few drinks, Jian Ning somehow ends up spending a chaste night with a strange woman.

The woman is captivatingly alluring, cool and restrained.

After their first night together, the woman asks Jian Ning if there will be a next time.

Jian Ning rubs her waist. "We both wanted it. Just this once."

After their second night together, the woman jokes that she wants to be Jian Ning's canary.

Jian Ning rubs her leg. "Not happening. Don't pester me."

After their third night together, the woman says there won't be another time.

Jian Ning panics. "Let's talk about that next time."

Jian Ning plans to properly be with the woman for a few months.

The woman asks, "I heard you have a spouse?"

Jian Ning says, "It's fake. We don't even know each other. There's no affection between us, it's all acting."

The woman only smiles. After many more nights together, Jian Ning runs out of money and skips town.

Her love life is a disaster, but her career is thriving.

Jian Ning signs with a new talent agency. The boss's surname is Shen, too, and when they meet, she discovers the boss is her canary!

Her secretary tells her to greet the boss, but Jian Ning can't bring herself to say a word.

Shen Yangzhou asks, "What is it? Don't you like calling me that anymore?"

Jian Ning: ...

After a long game of cat and mouse, Jian Ning can't take it anymore and falls for her all over again.

Shen Yangzhou confesses first, but Jian Ning turns her down.

There's still one thing she has to do: break off the engagement early.

At last, Jian Ning meets the legendary head of the Shen family and freezes, her eyes red with anger.

What a nerve! That rich bastard pretended to be a canary just to trick her.

Jian Ning clutches the Persian cat and sobs until she's a complete mess, choking out, "You bullied me and made me marry an animal."

Shen Yangzhou holds her. "I'm an animal, I'm an animal. Don't cry."

A flirtatious, shameless little powerhouse who charms everyone x a calculating, secretly flirtatious big shot

Theme: Even when facing hardship, one must keep striving and rely on oneself.
