==Synopsis

After the real heiress, Soni, returned home, the fake heiress, Sophie, was thrown out. Her engagement to her fiancé-to-be was also called off, making her a laughingstock at Teng University’s School of Fine Arts.

By chance, Sophie came into possession of a “Ma Liang magic brush,” said to make anything she painted come true.

Sophie scoffed and casually painted a scandalous photo of Mo Li, the aloof painting god. To her surprise, the very next moment, Mo Li appeared before her in a disheveled state.

Sophie: ???

After that, Sophie would paint Mo Li from time to time and vent to him as if he were her confidant. Then, to her astonishment, she discovered that

After she complained that exhibition tickets were hard to get, the exhibition started requiring real-name verification;

She had no gown for a banquet, so the host sent her a thirty-million-yuan Ocean Star;

She was mistreated over an plagiarism scandal, and half the art world stood up for her...

From then on, Sophie treated the painting god Mo Li as her lucky charm. Whenever she was unsure what to do, she would pay her respects, and immediately turn the tables and make her critics eat their words. Life was great.

In less than half a year, Sophie had made a name for herself in the art world. Everyone said she must have a crush on Mo Li, but they had no idea...

In the bedroom, Mo Li clutched Sophie’s hand and complained:

“We’ve been together for so long. Why won’t you register our marriage?”

“If you won’t register it, fine, but why won’t you even wear your wedding ring?”

“Fine, you won’t wear yours, but why won’t you let me wear mine?”

The painting god Mo Li had barely returned to the country when he started experiencing strange things.

From time to time, he would drift off and see a little girl with a paintbrush between her teeth, painting him. She would even secretly touch his hand and hug him.

Mo Li’s ears turned bright red. This little girl really did like him. But he was her senior, so he couldn’t return the affection of someone younger...

Seeing how talented the girl was and how superb her painting skills were, Mo Li quietly helped her along, giving her the boost she needed to soar.

Watching the girl grow brighter and more dazzling, Mo Li fell into deep thought. He was only six years older, not exactly an elder. Since she was so devoted to him, perhaps returning her feelings wouldn’t be out of the question...

Six months later, Mo Li learned he had only been treated as a lucky charm and silently shed tears.

==Upcoming novel: I Inherited an Aquarium. Please add it to your favorites! ==

Du Ruoxi graduated with a degree in veterinary medicine. Her classmates all landed jobs at pet hospitals, where they got to work with adorable furry patients. But because she couldn’t afford to grease the right palms, she was sent to Hailan Aquarium, which was on the verge of bankruptcy and about to be acquired. On her very first day, she had to treat a ferocious Chinese alligator.

They said the previous student assigned there had been bitten by it and had to return to school to be reassigned.

Just as Du Ruoxi was about to take a blood sample, the Chinese alligator suddenly opened its enormous jaws.

Everyone recoiled in terror, but Du Ruoxi suddenly heard a voice

Chinese alligator: “Stop drawing my blood! You’ve already taken five tubes! I just have something stuck in my teeth, and I’ve lost my appetite. Just pick my teeth for me.”

Startled, Du Ruoxi went over to check and found a long fish bone stuck between its teeth.

Du Ruoxi: “Then why did you bite people?”

Chinese alligator: “I’m innocent! He thought this place was a dump and wanted to go back to school to get reassigned, so he pinned the blame on me!”

Du Ruoxi: ...

From then on, Du Ruoxi made her home at the aquarium. She was bound to a System that let her communicate with aquatic animals. As long as she completed the System’s daily tasks and cared for the animals, she could earn rewards.

Great white shark: “Lower the water temperature by two degrees. I’ve had no appetite every day and lost two pounds.”

Manta ray: “A kid just called me ugly. I need counseling. Ruoruo, am I really that ugly...?”

Arctic fox: “The deputy director is making a move on the director’s wife. He hooked up with her in his office while the director was away on business, and even said she’s as beautiful as me. Shameless!”

Jellyfish: “The cleaner is a spy from the Xinxin Aquarium next door. They’re deliberately causing trouble and making a mess so Xinxin Aquarium can acquire us!”

A year later, Hailan Aquarium had become a popular check-in spot in Jiangcheng. Not only had it avoided being acquired by neighboring Xinxin Aquarium, it had acquired Xinxin Aquarium instead.

Du Ruoxi had saved endangered aquatic animals time and again, earned praise from state media, and become the new director of Hailan Aquarium.

Major media outlets competed to report the news:

[Congratulations to Ms. Du Ruoxi on becoming a member of the International Marine Animal Protection Association!]

[Hailan Aquarium’s giant clam produces a rare pearl worth a fortune.]

[Hailan Aquarium’s exclusive deep-sea coral face mask fades dark spots, reduces wrinkles, and beautifies the skin!]

[Hailan Aquarium’s secret-recipe sauces sell out online as soon as they go on sale!]

[Hailan Aquarium drives the comprehensive development of dining, entertainment, and lodging in the development zone. Fu Group invests 5 billion yuan to build a global ocean city.]

When Fu Jiangyan, heir to the Fu Group, was assigned to manage a poor, run-down development zone, he was unwilling to go. That was, until he met Du Ruoxi, with her fair skin and cherry-red lips, cradling a baby sea turtle and talking to herself

Fu Jiangyan realized he had fallen for her.

When he heard Hailan Aquarium was hiring cleaners, Fu Jiangyan disguised himself as a pitiful, down-on-his-luck guy and went to apply. At last, thanks to his outstanding ability to throw money around, he beat out the other applicants and got the job.

After that, he worked diligently and conscientiously, scrubbing rusty cages, cleaning mineral deposits off the glass, and mopping floors whose original color was impossible to make out.

When Du Ruoxi returned from a business trip and saw the sparkling new aquarium, she was impressed by this tireless, hard-working guy. “Not bad. You’ve worked hard. You’ve made the place look brand-new.”

The aquatic animals glared angrily at the red-faced Fu Jiangyan, furious but unable to speak up: It was brand-new to begin with! He replaced everything while you were away! Sob, sob. If we weren’t beholden to him for our food, I’d report him...

When the media eventually asked Fu Jiangyan how he had won Du Ruoxi’s heart, he raised an eyebrow. “With my hardworking hands.”

The aquatic animals: Pah!

Theme: Sincerity and perseverance can move even the hardest heart.
