Bickering couple | Older woman, younger man | Lighthearted, sweet romance
1. The famous Ji family of Lubei City went bankrupt.
To escape their enormous debts, the Ji family disappeared without a trace. But some people claimed they had seen Ji Bocheng, the notoriously unruly second young master of the family, in the city.
The creditors raced to find Ji Bocheng, but the seafood shop owner Ruan Zhi, who had come all the way from Nanzhou Island alone to collect a debt, got to him first.
She was just a slender country girl and didn't look like much of a threat.
Ji Bocheng paid her no mind. He even gave her a wicked grin and taunted her: "I don't have any money, but you can have my body. The question is, do you dare, pretty lady?"
But Ruan Zhi wasn't falling for it. She grabbed him by the collar and yanked him close, then patted his handsome, pampered face. Her beautiful eyes were even more wicked than his smile. "Sure~ Let's see how much the young master Ji's body is worth."
2. Ji Bocheng had lived for over twenty years and never imagined he'd be dragged to an island to work for a woman, as an exploited laborer.
Seven days a week of work beyond his limits, no pay, and only food and lodging included.
Whenever he tried to slack off, Ruan Zhi would instantly hurl an oyster at his head with ruthless precision and give him a merciless scolding.
He couldn't understand Ruan Zhi. She was stunning, yet utterly heartless, with not a trace of a woman's gentleness in her character.
Several times, thoroughly fed up, he smashed things and shouted, "I'm done with this crap!"
But in the end, he could only come slinking back and submit to Ruan Zhi. "Boss, I'm hungry..."
On countless late nights, Ji Bocheng would gaze at the lit window where Ruan Zhi sat and secretly swear: the day he managed to leave this place, he would make that woman bow down to him.
But when that day finally came, he was the one blocking Ruan Zhi's path, eyes red as he begged, "Zhi Zhi, please don't make me leave, okay?"
3. The day the Ji family came to the island, Ji Bocheng ran like a madman from one end of the village to the other, a metal rod in his hand.
When he saw Ruan Zhi being dragged toward the sea, he charged in without a second thought, swinging the rod.
Only then did Ruan Zhi realize that the useless young master she was always beating and chasing around could actually fight like a champion.
She watched as his broad frame shielded her. After easily knocking several people to the ground, he pointed at the others and warned them coldly, "Touch her again and see what happens!"
He looked just like a hero from the stories.
