Originally titled The Misaligned Relationship, now renamed Spring Scenery Hidden Downstairs due to too many works with the same title.
Honest heroine vs. golden-boy hero
In Xiao Yucheng's eyes, He Zhiyu was a woman with nothing to recommend her: not her family background, education, or abilities.
He didn't want his younger brother to waste any more time on someone like her.
Just as he wanted, He Zhiyu broke up with his brother.
He thought there would be no more ties between him and the Xiao family.
But fate can be strange. The woman he'd once looked down on became his neighbor two years later.
His once-arrogant younger brother was now willing to humble himself before him for the sake of her job.
One coincidence after another convinced Xiao Yucheng that He Zhiyu was deeply calculating.
She was approaching him with an ulterior motive!
Xiao Yucheng began testing her again and again, waiting for her to show her true colors so he could catch her in one fell swoop.
And so their relationship began to grow strange.
He took a step closer, and He Zhiyu backed away. He turned to leave, and He Zhiyu pulled at his heart again.
Xiao Yucheng grew agitated. Leaning close to her ear, he warned in a low voice, "I'm not Xiao Yuze. Put away those little schemes of yours."
He Zhiyu looked completely baffled. "??? What schemes could I possibly have?"
Are you okay, big brother? You're the one who's kept coming after me!
In He Zhiyu's eyes, Xiao Yucheng was a man with a split personality.
At the office during the day, he was a calm, restrained boss who always had everything under control.
After work, in front of his blind date, he was a gentleman.
At night, in front of her, he was a refined scoundrel and a beast in a suit!
He Zhiyu was baffled. Ever since she was little, everyone had agreed she was a good, honest girl.
Why was Xiao Yucheng so prejudiced against her?
He Zhiyu in the eyes of her ex-boyfriend, Xiao Yuze: pretty, innocent, sweet, and girlfriend material.
He Zhiyu in the eyes of her current boyfriend, Xu Saifei: pretty, honest, down-to-earth, and wife material.
He Zhiyu in the eyes of her coworkers: a kind, obedient newcomer who posed no threat.
Only Xiao Yucheng watched with cold eyes: A bunch of idiots.
Reader's Guide
Neither lead is perfect. Each has their own flaws.
Theme: Don't let conventional standards define good and bad.
The heroine is actually teasing him on purpose, right? The male protagonist felt that his heart was already moved, but he would not admit it.

Waiting for the male protagonist to get slapped in the face while chasing his wife at the crematorium.
Except for the occasional typo, I'm very satisfied with everything else. I haven't read such a tense article in a long time. I quite like the mature man and mature woman genre. My wife is very good at writing ambiguous and erotic stories. Come on, I hope there will be more.
The article begins with the heroine encountering workplace harassment and being fired. The plot is rather ordinary, and the reunion method is somewhat routine. However, the story has a good sense of reality and reality. For example, the worries about finding a job after being fired, the calculation of the rent, and the embarrassment of being asked about the amount of alcohol consumed during the interview. These are all real and life-like details. Explicit geographical coordinates also add to the sense of reality. Regarding the work of the male protagonist, the wife did not use a "mellow" way to avoid the content of the male protagonist's work, but showed it through dialogue, which makes it interesting to read with intellectual exercise, not a general "leader is very busy". However, the work of sister He Zhiqiu is not revealed in the first three chapters. Her image is focused on being a "strong wife" and "helping her sister with work", which can easily lead to doubts about whether she has become a housewife. Fortunately, her work situation was added later, which made people feel inexplicably desolate. The breakup between Xiao Yuze and the heroine was also written in a foggy way, and I don't know if it was a foreshadowing for the sequel. But Xiao Yuze's words "at least she's pretty" make people look down upon and simplify the heroine's value to just her appearance, while he himself didn't even offer a serious defense in front of his brother. The way this first love ended made Xiao Yuze seem unworthy from the beginning.
