[Innocent, tsundere benefactor shou vs. scheming, smoldering lover gong]
Gu Qingxian, CEO of the Gu Group, was born with a constitution that made her constantly cold. To keep herself from suffering through the chill every night, she decided to keep a lover as a human bed warmer.
As the name suggests, the lover's only job was to warm the bed, then leave.
But the lover was shameless enough to strip naked and lie right there in her bed!
Gu Qingxian thought her lover was trying to seduce her, so she never treated her kindly.
Later, her opinion began to change a little, because her lover warmed the bed well and told such good bedtime stories that she could fall asleep quickly.
The shameless woman became an older woman who was somewhat attractive and had a decent figure, but was still no match for Gu Qingxian and was far too taciturn.
It wasn't until her lover took control of her company that she finally realized what was going on.
This woman had been playing dumb all along!
Not only did she take over her company, she also wanted to take her. How could she let her get away with that?!

Lu Mingyuan was desperate for money and had no other choice but to become someone's lover. She never expected her benefactor to be a woman, much less a woman with bizarre tastes and a terrible temper.
The first night, her benefactor didn't even look at her before sending her straight back out.
The second night, knowing there was no escaping, she washed up and lay in bed, ready to fulfill her duties as a kept lover. Instead, her benefactor turned bright red and scolded her for being shameless.
Lu Mingyuan felt like her CPU was about to burn out.
After spending some time together, she slowly realized that her benefactor was so innocent she didn't know the first thing about any of this.
Later, this innocent benefactor paid off her medical bills and helped her handle all kinds of trouble. On a stormy night, she even knocked fearfully on Lu Mingyuan's door and, despite insisting she didn't care, demanded that Lu Mingyuan sleep with her.
That night, they slept together under the covers, without doing anything else.
Lu Mingyuan gradually fell for this innocent, tsundere benefactor, only to discover that her benefactor loved work even more.
So Lu Mingyuan took over her company and made her benefactor her kept lover. As her benefactor glared at her in anger and frustration, Lu Mingyuan calmly pulled out a marriage certificate, the corners of her mouth lifting in a confident smile.
"Qianqian, sign this, and the company is yours. So am I."
She was perfectly willing to work for Gu Qingxian for the rest of her life. As long as Gu Qingxian was willing to be with her, she could give her everything she had.
Reader's guide:
1. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting.
2. Love grows over time, happy ending, both leads are each other's one and only.
3. The benefactor has no talent for business, while the lover is exceptionally gifted at it. She only takes control because she feels sorry for the exhausted benefactor, who still pushes herself to keep working.
4. The lover is seven years older than the benefactor and dotes on her terribly later on.
5. Once they get together, she'll practically want to make the bed collapse... Ahem!
6. There is a side couple: a gong benefactor and a shou lover. They're an adult couple, nothing like the innocent leads. Heh heh.
Theme: I love you for no other reason than that I want to.
