As the roundest pup in a capybara herd, Ruan Yue received her coming-of-age gift: a big, bright red apple.
But after taking just one bite, she transmigrated into a wealthy-family romance novel as the vicious adopted daughter who shared her name.
From the very start, her original character was already in a terrible predicament, taking the blame for stealing company secrets!
Going home was no longer much of an option, but luckily she ran into a lost cat.
Huh? All the fluffy animals in this world are spirits!
And the cat's owner was beautiful and kindhearted, and even helped her find a job.
That very day, Ruan Yue started work.
But her life as a laid-back security guard, working nine to five and doing nothing, didn't last long.
The company's elegant CEO wanted to sign her up for a variety show?!
Ruan Yue (hesitantly): She still preferred being a security guard. She could sunbathe every day...
Mo Beichen, who heard her thoughts: "Twenty million, unlimited use of the company's swimming pool, and as much fruit as you want for snacks."
Ruan Yue: !

The trailer for the farming-support variety show "That Thing in the Fields" dropped before its premiere and instantly went viral.
The internet was full of criticism:
[An unknown newcomer parachuted in. Another one promoted by the powers that be, huh?]
[She's so fake. How can she be this dumb? A cute and innocent persona? I'm gonna puke.]
After the livestream began:
Netizen 1: Thanks for asking. I watched the livestream and I'm a little dizzy. Our girl is so clever! Mom is so proud!
Netizen 2: Guys, we've got a problem. Why do all the animals in the village love sticking to Ruan Yue? Who's ever seen a country dog helping pick oranges? Or a water buffalo plowing all by itself?!!
Netizen 3: The latest episode is a panda eating livestream... And the panda pushed its tenderest bamboo shoots over to Ruan Yue! Do you get it? Do you get it? Ahhh, I'm so jealous! How did things take this turn?!
Ruan Yue: The village is beautiful, and there are so many animal spirits. It's another happy day.

Mo Beichen had always excelled at everything. To everyone, he was a born winner, but the truth was that he had long grown sick of a life spent competing and exhausting himself.
Then one day, as he passed the company entrance, he heard a voice:
"I'm a little slow and easygoing because I'm a capybara."
"The sun feels so nice. It'd be even better with an apple."
Huh? A capybara?
Interesting.
He lured the little capybara into the company and sent her to shine on a show promoting agriculture.
The show became more and more popular.
Mo Beichen also became a devoted viewer.
Later, he bought entire crates of apples, turned his garden into one giant swimming pool, and made sure to show up right in front of her every day.
He was determined to bring this little capybara home and keep her there.
Key points:
Lighthearted comedy / daily life / entirely fictional setting / sickeningly sweet, devoted first love on both sides, happy ending
There is a little bit of yuri between side characters, but it won't get in the way of the leads falling in love, so don't worry!

Here's a mention of my ongoing novel next door, "How Do I Deal with a Love-Brained Second Male Lead?"
1.
Xie Chushi stayed up all night to finish a romance novel.
The heroine was beautiful as a fairy and pure and charming, winning the affection of a whole cast of main characters.
Among them was a gloomy guy who couldn't think about anything but romance.
To win the heroine, he tried every underhanded trick: arson, imprisonment, all kinds of kinky games. Yet he still lost to the protagonist's halo and could only spend the rest of his life alone in prison.
Xie Chushi was furious as he read.
Was this second male lead stupid or what? He had power, good looks, and money. Couldn't he get anyone he wanted? Why obsess over stealing the heroine from the male lead?
Then he transmigrated into the story as one of the heroine's many admirers.
Not only did he share the character's name, he was also the first disposable side character the second male lead killed.
After transmigrating, Xie Chushi planned to stay far away from those people, but he got caught up with the second male lead in his childhood.
At the time, the other boy was still a pitiful outcast whom everyone despised.
He was beaten and bullied, and had nothing in his life but hardship.
Fine, fine.
Overcome by compassion, Xie Chushi took him home, helped him deal with the group of school bullies, and promised him a bright future.
And then... then he was held tight in someone's arms.
"Brother, who's that woman? You promised to stay with me for the rest of your life. Are you going back on your word?"
"If that's how it is, then let's tie ourselves together. That way, Brother won't be able to go anywhere."
You can only be with me.
Xie Chushi: Hello, emergency services? There's a crazy love-brained guy here!
2.
Qin Mu was abandoned by his parents as a child and sent to live with his uncle.
The adults in the household ignored him, and the other children bullied him. Though he was clearly born to stand above others, he wasn't even given the most basic respect. He lived like a worm in a gutter.
Until someone told him:
"You're wonderful."
"You'll become incredibly powerful. Everyone will envy you, look up to you, and respect you."
"But above all, don't become love-brained!"
He took the first two sentences to heart, but the last one...
That person gave him food and clothes. Though he wasn't strong himself, he gave Qin Mu the best he had and soothed his wounded body and soul.
After the college entrance exams.
The whole class went out for a meal and got drunk. Qin Mu said he was taking someone home, but instead he turned around and carried Xie Chushi into a hotel.
Staring at the patch of fair skin at his collar, he could no longer hide the desire in his heart.
He wanted him.
"He'd never had anything good in his life. This one person was all he had, and even if the whole world condemned them, nothing could tear them apart."
Gloomy, obsessive, devoted top x sunny, warm, instantly cowering bottom
The one with three characters in his name is the bottom.
Bonus scene:
A bright, sunny day.
Neither of them had gotten out of bed by noon.
Xie Chushi, barely able to speak: I told you not to be... love... brained. Did that go in one ear and out the other...?
Qin Mu rolled over and held him even tighter: I'm your dog.
Reading guide:
(1) The younger one is two years younger.
(2) The top is truly ruthless, and he truly loves, too. The bottom has a slight everyone-loves-him vibe, but only likes the top and only acts timid in front of him.
(3) Both are each other's first and only. The top's feelings are overwhelmingly one-sided at first. There will be a breakup and reunion, but no angst, and the story is extremely sweet overall.
(4) They are both over eighteen when they get together.
(5) The top does not like the heroine! The top does not like the heroine! The top does not like the heroine! That's important, so it gets said three times!
Theme: Experience life in the way you choose.
(?▽`)ノ I really like this kind of plot of "Looking back at dusk, that person is in the dim light"...
(? ??_??)? It's impossible not to write down the wedding, dear
Wake up, sister, obviously you also made a stir-fried cabbage dish.
ヽ( ̄д ̄;)ノYuri control must watch sister's love ah ah ah ah
⊙ω⊙Wearing it back again? !
Ah, this is called canna. I also ate it when I was a child. There was one near a park at that time. I didn't know that I could drink nectar. It was only after my elementary school classmate took me to pick some that I realized that nectar can be sucked out of it. It was really sweet, but in my impression, it was either pink or bright red.
( ̄Y▽ ̄)~I'll see my parents soon
(??ω`? ) By the way, will the elder sister finally know that the younger sister has changed her mind? Or is it that the capybara itself is a younger sister who became a capybara due to an accident? ?
Sister ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ: I cut off his hands if he dared to touch me, and I haven't even touched him yet.
Sister ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ: How dare you put my sister under house arrest and abuse her with her busy work
