I'll update another story first. It's about a voice actor and a screenwriter. The blurb is at the end. If you're interested, go check it out!
[Animal feed researcher who seems like a delicate flower but is actually a confident older woman] X [Smiling, sly, clingy college-graduate village official]
Lan County used to be a village of dairy farms.
Mi Ya was born there, and she's the only woman in the village with a doctorate.
She had a prestigious job in Beijing as an animal feed researcher.
People said she was a perfect example of how education could change your fate.
But they didn't know she was an obsessive feed researcher who loved cows more than life itself.
When she turned thirty, her company shifted its focus and her family went through a major upheaval.
She resolutely set off to return to her hometown.
But by then, outdated farming methods had gradually eroded Lan County's competitive edge in dairy production.
Looking at the impoverished villagers, she decided to revive the dairy industry.
She would turn Lan County into an eco-friendly tourist ranch!
But then a college-graduate village official showed up.
The more cheerfully he called her "Sis," the bigger the trap he set for her.
Were they enemies in a past life?
Gu Sumu was a rich second-generation heir.
But only he knew that he was just a substitute...
He was determined to pass the civil service exam, but he kept getting stuck at the interview stage.
So he decided to take an unconventional route and become a village official.
But he unexpectedly ran into the mistress who had come between his scumbag brother and sister-in-law.
What should he do?
Obviously, he couldn't let her get away with it.
So he set traps for her at every turn, only to trap himself instead.
Mi Ya got scorched in the sun, and he worried about her.
Mi Ya was treated unfairly, and he worried about her.
Mi Ya stayed up all night caring for the cows, and he still worried about her.
Fine! He'd stay and build Lan Village with her!
Gu Sumu: The whole point is to fall for her!

Blurb:
[Voice actor who seems gentle and considerate but is actually insecure] X [Introverted, outwardly soft but inwardly strong, career-focused screenwriter]
For the first twenty-five years of her life, the farthest place Jian Mu had traveled was the neighboring city. Her life followed the path her mother had laid out for her, down to the smallest detail.
Her routine as a teacher, going back and forth between two places, and endless blind dates made up her entire life after graduation.
But only she knew that her heart longed for faraway places, and that she had hidden all of that in her novels.
She met Cheng Chuan at a blind date.
At the time, they tacitly agreed to treat it as a one-time meal with a companion.
Neither of them knew how many threads already bound them together. Before they even knew it, they'd left their marks on each other's lives.
Then a butterfly flapped its wings, and they met again in Beijing.
She accepted the opportunity Cheng Chuan offered her and became a screenwriter trying to make it in Beijing.
When she saw Cheng Chuan sitting with a beautiful, gentle older woman, she thought they made a good match.
When she saw Cheng Chuan sitting with his elegant, classic younger fellow student, she thought they made a good match, too.
A gentle breeze stirred. The man casually plucked a leaf from the girl's hair and said, "I think you and I are the best match."
The girl froze, then said blankly, "But I'm... a single-at-heart kind of person?"
Then please let me come a little closer to you.

Cheng Chuan longed to have a family, but it was something he could never attain.
Before his family fell apart, he was an outsider in his parents' lives, an "orphan."
After his family fell apart, he became an orphan in every sense of the word.
Until he met Jian Mu.
At their first blind date, he thought they were just passing strangers.
At their second chance encounter, he saw his former self in her.
At their third reunion, he realized he had been there for every turning point in her life.
Everyone else said he was successful, gentle, considerate, and practically perfect. Only one girl clutched tightly at his sleeve, her voice trembling with nerves but her gaze resolute, and told him:
"You don't have to be perfect in everything. You can let your guard down. You can let me come a little closer to you."
