Please Do Not Disturb

Nanshi is home to two cosmetics companies, each housed in a skyscraper that reaches for the clouds and each run by a woman who holds all the power.

Pei Jinshu, 32, is a career elite: domineering and scheming.

Yan Chuyi, 35, is a leading figure in the business world. She's always cold toward others, giving people the impression that she's frigid.

The Yan family has a girl, Yan Keke, 12, in her first year of middle school (her daughter, though not by blood).

The Pei family has one too, Pei Yiyi, 13, also in her first year of middle school (her niece).

Scene One

Just after Yan Chuyi moves into Linjiang Garden, she crashes into Pei Jinshu's luxury car. A single scratch is enough to make the two take an instant dislike to each other.

As luck would have it, enemies run into each other everywhere, and they become next-door neighbors.

Yan Chuyi: "Keke, whatever you do, don't be friends with the kid next door!"

Scene Two

Pei Jinshu gives a faint smile.

"Miss Yan, I don't like women, and I hit women too, so stay away from me!"

Yan Chuyi is completely unfazed by the provocation and threat.

"Really? That's great, because I don't like women either!"

"Please stay away from me, Miss Pei!"

Later,

the two really do get into a fight.

A long journey of love and an unforgettable experience bring them closer. They gradually come to understand each other and empathize with the hardships they've endured. Little by little, they open their hearts and fall deeply for one another.

Reading guide:

A tough-on-the-outside, gentle-on-the-inside, scheming gong x a cool, proud, gentle shou (their personalities only; both are gongs and shous).

The age gap is already right there.

Tentatively a happy ending.

Theme: If you're tired and worn out, don't be afraid. Turn around, and I'll give you a home.
