No Gentle Conquest

A lighthearted, sweet romance with 100,000 words already written. Dive in without worry~

Qiao Zhiyi is a single-by-choice woman, gentle yet distant.

Until one rainy night, when she picked up a girl.

The girl moved into her home, and into her heart.

Shen Mengzhou looks soft and adorable, but she's actually independent and resilient.

At her most disheveled, she met a gentle older woman.

That's when she learned that even when she acts childish, she can still be loved, and someone can accept her without limit.

Qiao Zhiyi had always been the company's most beautiful and gentle woman, until the autumn recruitment brought in Shen Mengzhou, a sweet, pretty new hire.

From onboarding to confirmation, Qiao Zhiyi spoke with nearly every new hire from the autumn recruitment, leaving out only Shen Mengzhou.

The gossip-loving coworkers who slacked off were convinced Qiao Zhiyi couldn't stand having a new hire whose looks matched hers, and eagerly hoped the two would clash.

What they didn't know was that the two women rumored to be at odds not only went home holding hands, but also stole kisses in their cramped office.

A gentle, sophisticated older woman in the workplace x a junior who seems soft and sweet but is actually independent, resilient, and obsessive

1. The two female leads are five years apart.

2. A sweet little romance. The workplace is just the backdrop; the main focus is their love story.
