Blurb:

Stubborn vinegar-making woman from a small town × cold, bodhisattva-like hot pot shop owner

1. The first thing Cheng Yue did after graduating from university was defy her mother's objections, return to the small town where she was born and raised, and take over its vinegar factory, which was on the verge of closing.

A dim workshop, old equipment, improperly stored ingredients, and two people standing before her, one old and one young.

And so, over the next three years at the factory:

She renovated it, established a sound organizational structure, drew up employee rules and regulations, and improved the company's culture.

“Sis Yue, that new hot pot place in town that's open all night just ordered a year's worth of our fragrant vinegar. Should we go support their business?”

2. The first time Cheng Yue saw Lu Yiliang was at night. After a busy day, she somehow ended up outside the all-night hot pot restaurant.

Lu Yiliang was standing outside, bare-chested and wearing a floral apron, stir-frying hot pot base.

The pungent, savory scent of beef tallow wafted toward her again and again. It was the sweltering summer season in southwest China, and beads of sweat slid down the man's wheat-colored skin. The restaurant lights shone behind him, making him look like a bodhisattva in human form.

Cheng Yue never imagined that this bodhisattva would eventually come to save her.

3. After they got married, the bodhisattva husband was always losing things. One minute he'd forgotten his keys, the next his phone.

One day, after coming back from grocery shopping, the bodhisattva husband had lost something again.

“Wife, where's my floral apron?”

P.S. 1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced and have no prior partners.

2. Both leads are strong, with a happy ending.

3. An adult romance.
