A slacker queen who accidentally turns her life around x a husband quietly working to help his wife turn her life around
Xia Li saw Chen Zhiyou again at the company's banquet, seven years later.
It was her first year at the company, and also the first year she became its top salesperson.
At the banquet, Chen Zhiyou wore an expensive suit and held court with an air that warned everyone to keep their distance.
Suddenly, she remembered a long, long time ago.
Bright sunlight fell across Chen Zhiyou's face. Someone beside him asked, "Aren't you coming to play ball? I hear there'll be plenty of pretty girls."
He smiled. "No. The jealous one's going to get upset if I do."
"Whipped, are you?" his friend teased with a laugh.
He smiled but didn't reply.
Xia Li stood beside them, her face bright red.
The first time Xia Li had a heart-to-heart with Chen Zhiyou was one night in their second year of high school. For reasons she couldn't figure out, Chen Zhiyou opened up to her.
Chen Zhiyou tossed his exam paper onto the desk in frustration and asked, clearly baffled, "Why doesn't sincerity get you sincerity back when it comes to me?"
Everyone said Chen Zhiyou was reserved and shy. No one had ever seen him open up to someone.
Xia Li thought it over seriously before answering, "It's because you haven't met the right person. With me, sincerity can get sincerity back."
"Is that so?" Chen Zhiyou leaned a little closer. In the last row, where no one could see them, he said, "Then... want to give us a try?"
It was an unexpected turn of events, yet utterly captivating, like a mischievous cat gently pawing at her palm, setting her heart and nerves aflutter.
She raised an eyebrow. "Let's give it a try, then."

[Important!]
◎ They reunite right from the start, and make up right from the start!! The hero is incredibly proactive. He came back for the heroine!
This is an indulgent fantasy. Don't take it too seriously.
1. After she and the hero make up, the heroine really does slack off. She won't leave him, or rely on herself instead of her husband.
2. The heroine lives by one rule: not clinging to someone powerful when you can is a sign of low intelligence, and not using your influence when you have it is just asking to be upset.
3. Both leads have only ever been with each other, and are each other's first and only.
4. After their reunion, it's satisfying every step of the way, and every grudge gets repaid! Before the reunion, their romance is sweet and awkward.
5. A no-brainer wish-fulfillment story. The logic may be unconventional. The author graduated from elementary school and got zero on the essay.
