[Also known as: I Suspect the Heir Is After My Money]
Money-Obsessed, Romance-Averse Female Boss x Lovelorn, Love-Brained, Laid-Back Rich Heir
*
Seeing the beggars on the street looking better off than her, Jing Zhao is close to tears. "Can I transmigrate again?"
Heaven: ...
Good news: She escapes the people hunting her, and her late father leaves her a courtyard and a shop.
Bad news: The shop gets burned to the ground.
At long last, a rich guy shows up, but it turns out he's an idiot, and the two of them get into a fight over nothing. So much for making a wealthy friend. Now she's got an enemy instead.
Luckily, an even fatter duck comes flying her way.
She doesn't even have to sweet-talk this one. He looks richer and more powerful, so Jing Zhao is delighted and rolls up her sleeves to return to her old line of work: cosmetics.
Jing Zhao: "This time, I'm taking back everything that belongs to me!"
The shop opens, and it's one thing for a rich young lady to come by three times a day, but why is there also a man who shows up every day?
Is he trying to take over my business?
Xu Jiangxing looks at the gaudy assortment of rouge and face powder on the table, feeling rather frustrated.
Xu Jiangxing: "I've been so obvious. How has she not noticed?"
Princess Royal: "Son, would you like your mother to give you a hand?"
Xu Jiangxing stubbornly insists: "No! I've got this!"
Xu Jiangxing runs away from home, while Jing Zhao happily makes money.
Xu Jiangxing comes back with his tail between his legs, while Jing Zhao laughs at her ever-growing balance.
Jing Zhao: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Jiangxing: "What's most important to you?"
Jing Zhao: "Money, houses, land..."
Xu Jiangxing: "What about me?"
Oh, right. There is another person.
1. The setting is fictional. Please don't overanalyze the historical details.
2. The female lead is not an all-powerful heroine. She receives a lot of help along the way.
3. The romance between the leads develops slowly.
Theme: Love life, and keep your feet on the ground.
