No men, both leads are each other’s first and only, 1v1, happy ending
Straightforward bottom × cold top, sunny girl × says one thing but means another
Heiress × bankrupt heiress
Blurb
Jian Yunshi, the sole heir to the Xie family of Jiangcheng, is a high-born heiress, aloof and proud, with a rebellious streak that keeps ordinary people at a distance.
Except for her childhood friend, the down-on-her-luck heiress Jiang Yanxi.
Jian Yunshi always responds to everything Jiang Yanxi does.
Jiang Yanxi speaks, and Jian Yunshi interrupts.
Jiang Yanxi smiles, and Jian Yunshi blushes.
Someone confesses to Jiang Yanxi, and Jian Yunshi instantly turns red and bristles.
Yet when people ask about their relationship, the refined Miss Jian coolly replies, “We’re not close.”
Later, when she hears the two have argued, Jian Yunshi finds Jiang Yanxi in tears. She wipes them away, apologizes, and spends ages coaxing her until she’s all right again.
Onlookers: Seriously, what kind of game are you two playing?
After Jiang Yanxi’s family goes bankrupt, her life falls apart overnight. Her relationship with her childhood friend Jian Yunshi also hits rock bottom. They used to be so close they shared a bed; now neither of them gives an inch.
But one day, their relationship softens a little.
At the amusement park, Jiang Yanxi confesses to Jian Yunshi with an ulterior motive. Beneath the dazzling fireworks, Jian Yunshi holds her breath.
Later, Jiang Yanxi says, “I lied when I confessed that day. I was just trying to shake off someone who was pursuing me.”
Jian Yunshi walks away without looking back. But when she sees another beautiful childhood friend appear by Jiang Yanxi’s side, she clenches her fists, strides over, and pulls her into her arms.
Jiang Yanxi: “Didn’t you say we weren’t close?”
Jian Yunshi: “I was pretending. I can’t hold back anymore.”

When she was fifteen, the mayor’s daughter Meng Siting passed a woman on her way home from school. The woman wore a sharp suit and seemed cool and distant. Her stern profile made Meng Siting’s heart race.
That night, she had a long, thrilling dream. She woke up breathing hard and drenched in sweat.
Oh no. She thought she’d fallen in love at first sight with that woman.
Not long afterward, Meng Siting saw the woman again at court. The woman coldly read out the defendant’s many crimes, leaving young Meng Siting utterly smitten.
After the woman left, Meng Siting hid in a corner and cried until she could barely breathe. She never saw the woman again, but from then on, every dream she had was about her.
/
The year Meng Siting graduated, she went to intern at a law firm. One of the firm’s partners was named Fu Jinyi. The Fu family of Xuncheng was a renowned legal dynasty, and Fu Jinyi was a top partner at one of the industry’s elite “Red Circle” law firms.
Fu Jinyi was also the woman Meng Siting had secretly loved for years.
When she got into Fu Jinyi’s Rolls-Royce, her colleagues whispered, “What did this intern put in Lawyer Fu’s drink? Why is the Ice Queen being so nice to her?!”
Meng Siting thought: Getting special treatment from the big sister I’ve been secretly crushing on is just too wonderful! Tonight, I’ll dream that I’m her most beloved puppy, hehehe.
/
When Meng Siting was about to become a homeless intern, she pleaded with Fu Jinyi for help. She wanted to live in Fu Jinyi’s huge house downtown and be her roommate.
Fu Jinyi said coolly, “Sorry, Siting. I’m a lesbian, so it wouldn’t be very convenient for you to live with me.”
Meng Siting forced herself to keep smiling. “Lawyer Fu, I’m straight. It’s fine, I’ll keep my distance.”
Fu Jinyi: “All right, you can stay.”
Meng Siting was near tears. She’d heard of straight girls pretending to be gay, but who pretended to be straight when they were gay?! Pretending to be straight for love was just too tragic! But being roommates with her big sister was so wonderful that she was already crying in the bathroom from happiness.
///
The day her straight subordinate moved in, Fu Jinyi’s life started to feel new again. She was sharing her home with a woman ten years her junior. After years of living alone, she couldn’t help letting her imagination run wild at the sight of that young, vibrant body.
Even though the woman was a straight girl ten years younger than her.
She installed hidden cameras throughout the house, including in the straight girl’s bedroom.
One drunken night, she couldn’t resist kissing her drunk subordinate. As she caressed that young body, her feverish desire drove her to do something reckless.
Much later, she confided in a friend with complete honesty: “It may sound absurd, but I really have fallen for a straight girl.”
“I also want her to be my dog.”

“Siting, be good. Crawl over here and bark.”

[I hope you’ll declare me innocent. I hope you’ll see me as myself.]

Theme: Keep moving forward and work toward a better life
No, Maomao you. . . It's really annoying. If I had broken off our relationship hundreds of years ago, it would be thanks to your wife's kindness.
Three! You are a cruel person, both of you are, one can tolerate it and the other dares to do it 💛
The heroine was so abused and she just lightly exposed it? Did the scumbag father receive any punishment? He was just imprisoned, not even tortured. What about the suffering the heroine endured? Why should he be so kind to his enemies?
If you fight well, you should be brave enough to deal with those who bully you!
Come on, you bully others in school, but you still have the nerve to let people deal with you?
Big Socks, you bully people on campus and call them vicious???
Who is it? Who are you, Jiang Yanxi, to yell at others like this? Is this bullying? Right? Oh my God, how could there be such a heroine?
She is really childish and hates this heroine. The two of them can be together only because Xiao Jiang is so kind. I rarely read novels where I hate another heroine so much. I completely love Xiao Jiang.
Aim! Emission! The author greatly captures my deep love for you!
The scumbag dad didn't suffer much. Even if he was imprisoned, the heroine's family property would still belong to his family. After all, the heroine took his surname. Inheriting the family property is equivalent to changing the family property to a surname. The heroine's mother was really unlucky. When she was killed after recruiting a bride, even the property ownership rights were given to the scumbag daddy's family.
