[Self-Made Female Bookshop Owner x Gentle, Refined Science Guy | 8-Year Age Gap]
Cheng Lizhen was a top student from the countryside, but a serious illness not only kept her from getting into college, it also left her working as a factory girl.
As if that weren't enough, her parents broke up the relationship with the person she loved and tried to force her to marry a stranger.
So Cheng Lizhen decided to take matters into her own hands. She ran away from her wedding and, relying on the little education she had, planned to open a bookshop in the city.
Her friends couldn't believe it. You don't have any money. How are you going to open a bookshop?
Is it really suitable for a girl to run a shop? Aren't you afraid people will gossip?
But on the bookshop's opening day, they were stunned. The entrance was packed, and customers were scrambling to grab the books on display!
Cheng Lizhen quietly put her favorite books on the top shelf, hoping someone destined to find them would come along.
One day, a gentle, refined man in glasses walked into the shop and immediately spotted the set of hardcover books on top of the bookcase.
Cheng Lizhen: ! What a discerning eye!
Man: I run a bookshop too.
Cheng Lizhen: A fellow bookseller! Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you.
After that, she kept running into him on her way home from work and while buying stock. They couldn't help asking after each other.
That day, as usual, the man walked her home from work. Then he suddenly turned to her and asked, "Would you let me join you and become your partner for life?"
Cheng Lizhen: ? I thought we were talking business, but you want to date me?
Both are each other's first love, and neither has been with anyone else. Feel free to dive in.
Theme: Stand on your own two feet and make a fortune through your own hard work.
