Do I Really Have to Take This Job?

Since she started working, Ji Ranran had felt that it wouldn't be surprising if she dropped dead at any moment. What caught her off guard was that the company went under before she did.

Ji Ranran: I finally don't have to go to work anymore!

She was so excited that she packed all night, planning to go home and inherit the family fortune. Instead, her mother kicked her out and arranged a "relaxing" job for her: counseling the son of a family friend, who was a mess physically and mentally despite being rich.

Ji Ranran: Do I really have to work?

Her mother slowly fanned out the thick stack of property deeds in her hand. "We could always adopt another daughter. Someone will have to inherit everything after we're gone."

Ji Ranran: The inheritance doesn't matter. I just love helping people.

Ji Ranran did her best to counsel the son of her mother's friend. Sure, he had a nasty mouth and a strange temper, but at least he had a decent face. She just couldn't figure out why someone so handsome and rich had been abandoned by his ex-wife. Was it because he couldn't perform after ending up in a wheelchair?

It wasn't until Lin Lingxiao caught her that Ji Ranran realized just how wildly wrong she'd been. If only she'd asked her mother to send her a photo of him, she never would have done something this stupid in the twenty-first century!

Ji Ranran pleaded earnestly: You might not believe this, but I only did it because I wanted to inherit the family fortune and retire early.

Lin Lingxiao: What a coincidence. I have a fortune of my own, but you'll have to work for me until you die.

Damn it, do I really have to work or not?

A lie-flat heroine and a sick, darkening tycoon.

Lin Lingxiao couldn't understand why the woman his family had sent to keep an eye on him was so strange. Was this some new kind of seduction tactic?

It wasn't until she saw him stand up and ran away in the middle of the night that he realized she'd mistaken him for someone else.

Fine. You're here now, so don't even think about running away.
