Sense of Order

[Pre-release Blurb]

-

Jinchi Inn is open for business.

To attract guests, Jian Xin posts promotional photos in all kinds of group chats, but gets very little response.

The only thing she gets out of it is accidentally reviving a friends' group that had been dormant for years.

Urban professional Qin Yunjin is rushed to the hospital on the verge of winning an industry award, and barely makes it out alive.

After surviving the ordeal, she briefly sets work aside to find a suitable place to recuperate.

She sees a promotional photo of a small town in the group chat and immediately decides: that's the place.

Mindful of boundaries and unwilling to make small talk with online friends in person, Qin Yunjin switches accounts and adds the group owner: [Jinchi Inn 138*******].

Time flows more slowly in the small town, and the leisurely days are as bland as a glass of cold water.

Until...

Jian Xin makes a bombshell statement in the friends' group:

Jinchi Inn 138********: [Taking the most generous view, why can't a guest become the host?]

Like a fizzy tablet dissolving in water.

-

When the bubbles fade, Qin Yunjin returns to her old life, but picks up the habit of scrolling through the group chat, waiting for their relationship to cool down.

After hearing her daughter talk about how nice the town is, Qin's mother goes on vacation and stays at Jinchi Inn.

One day, she asks Jian Xin to fix a problem with her phone, accidentally exposing her daughter's secret identity.

Jian Xin suddenly understands: was she just someone's way to pass the time?

Qin Yunjin watches Jian Xin chat in the group about a new guest, an older sister who's gentle, wealthy, and knows how to treat people well.

When her mother tells her the innkeeper is busy keeping a pretty guest company, Qin Yunjin is consumed with jealousy.

She rushes back to the town overnight.

Jian Xin: "Hello. I am very unhappy to be of service to you."

Reader's guide:

Nine-year age gap, happy ending.

A proud, aloof older professional organizer & an optimistic, kind-hearted younger ray of sunshine.

-

One late-autumn morning, professional organizer Lu Zhaodi (Cheng Jiang) knocks on the door of the small house where rich heiress Ling Xiao lives alone.

The chill outside douses Ling Xiao's explosive morning temper. This woman is colder than the autumn wind and rain.

Lu Chengjiang never would have imagined that on her second visit to organize the place, she'd end up in her client's bed...

-

She once wanted to wander the world, never to return home.

She once wanted to become a river, to no longer suffer.

She was once called Older Sister.

The winds of her youth finally settled in the mountains. She found a new name, Lu Chengjiang, and found a lover.

Her orderly routine, compulsions, and severe cleanliness obsession: all of it was completely upended after she met twenty-year-old Ling Xiao.

It turned out she deserved to be loved, too.

In short, this is a little story about healing and growth.

[May every girl in the world who was given the name Zhaodi shatter the past and become a river, a sea, a mountain... become herself!]

Theme: Born in the mud, standing proud among the clouds. Love is enough to hold everything up.
