A beautiful, capable hair salon owner x a blunt, willful rich heir
1.
Zhao Yue first met Jiang Qiuwu in a bar. At the time, she was miserable because the teacher she'd had a crush on for years was getting married, and she was drowning her sorrows in alcohol.
Jiang Qiuwu walked over in a sexy long dress and asked, "Want some company?"
"Keep me company."
Early the next morning in the hotel, before Zhao Yue had even had a chance to get dressed, the other woman opened her mouth and asked to borrow money.
Zhao Yue stared at her in astonishment. "How much?"
"One million."
They met for the second time in a bustling alley. Jiang Qiuwu had a handprint on her left cheek, and her clothes were rumpled from being grabbed. The crowd that had been bullying her had just dispersed. Clearly, the million from last time hadn't been enough to solve her troubles.
Zhao Yue walked up and asked, "Do you need help?"
Jiang Qiuwu looked at her, stunned for a long moment before replying, "I do."
Jiang Qiuwu was the most money-grubbing woman Zhao Yue had ever met. She thought that as long as she had money, the other woman would indulge her for the rest of her life.
But she never expected that one day Jiang Qiuwu would repay every cent and calmly tell her, "We're even. Let's end this."
Zhao Yue began to panic.

Jiang Qiuwu got herself a little tyrant on account of money. The other woman was cold, domineering, unreasonable, and had a terrible temper.
Even so, Jiang Qiuwu had to spoil her, soothe her, and indulge her.
After they had been together for a while, the little tyrant began to care about her. She fussed over Jiang Qiuwu and, at night, wrapped her arms around her neck and murmured, "I'll give you all my money. Be my wife, okay?"
Jiang Qiuwu smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. It took her a long moment to softly reply with one word: "Okay."
3.
One afternoon, a dignified, elegant woman sat across from her. After studying her closely, she gave a helpless, bitter smile. "You look exactly like the teacher Xiao Yue liked."
The smile on Jiang Qiuwu's lips faltered. She bent over and said "I'm sorry" five times in a row.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hoped for anything.

Coming next: Who Exactly Is Back Home Waiting for Her?
After suffering from insomnia for two months straight, Xiao Jiahe quit her job in Beijing and returned to her hometown.
A winter day on the streets of Yuncheng.
One was a passenger, newly returned from a big city, dressed in designer clothes and living the high life.
The other was a driver, freshly released not long ago, still wearing her same old plaid shirt, down on her luck and destitute.
After all these years, Liang Shi had changed a lot.
She used to laugh carelessly no matter how harshly Xiao Jiahe spoke, always teasing her and cheering her up.
Now, whenever their eyes met, hers would dart away, and her smile carried a hint of awkwardness.
Unless Xiao Jiahe spoke first, Liang Shi seemed to have nothing to say.
Irritated, Xiao Jiahe asked her straight out if she wanted to be together. As expected, she was rejected.
"You know I can't accept being with a woman."
Xiao Jiahe nodded and respected her wishes. She never brought it up again.
They lived in the same city, each minding her own business.
Then, at New Year, Xiao Jiahe's colleagues from Beijing came to visit. She rented Liang Shi's car and invited her to be their local guide.
At lunch, her colleagues saw how difficult it was for Xiao Jiahe to start a business alone back home, so they urged her to return to her old company. They all missed her.
They meant well, and Xiao Jiahe couldn't turn them down too directly. She smiled and said she was thinking about it.
That night, a woman who couldn't accept being with another woman cornered Xiao Jiahe in the hallway, kissed her, and refused to let her leave.
"Do you still mean what you said before?"
"I don't know what you're talking abou-"
"I like you."
If you can't forget someone, surrender.

Theme: No matter how hard life gets, make the most of every day
It has great stamina, and it's obviously not particularly sadistic. The characters are created very well.
I finally finished reading it. Yue and Wu should always be happy! 😭
Whether it's love or resentment, intertwining can be considered caring. This car accident was the trigger, which completely burned Jiang Qiuwu's sanity. Even if you don't love me, you are still worried about you. Which one will come sooner, tomorrow or accident? The consequences of loss are unforgettable. One said she wanted to get married but couldn't do it, and the other "joked" that she wanted to be a bridesmaid and had an affair with Jiang, but then turned around and said she didn't want to get married. I can't turn a blind eye and can't explain the little weirdness and ups and downs in my heart, so it's better to accompany each other and torture each other until they grow old.
The writing is smooth and you can read it in one go. Those who read it in the first part will feel worried. The second part is relatively uninteresting and will keep reading. Come on!
Oh my god, I want to cry when I'm happy 😭
I swiped it again and it looks really good 😭
It's really, really well written, and it's a very life-like article.
This book is really beautiful! I just finished the second book. The author's writing style is also very good. I really like this kind of subject matter. It's so pretty! It's so pretty! I'll come back again in a few months, woo woo woo woo woo.
Although it is a clichéd crematorium plot, the characterization and dialogue are so down-to-earth and the sense of immersion is so strong. I am so good at writing.
I've finished watching it, the gentle heroine recommended by others
