[Golden finger, slow burn]

Shen Qingwan was once a pampered heiress in Linjiang City, living in luxury with everything brought to her and never having to lift a finger. After both her parents die, a villain sets his sights on the family fortune, and she is ambushed and left in a coma.

When she wakes, she finds herself trapped inside a coffin, surrounded by darkness.

Chi Ye falls off a cliff while driving after a criminal and transmigrates to a farmhouse in the Wei Dynasty.

She has no money, no food at home, a thatched hut on the verge of collapse, and two siblings so thin they are little more than skin and bones.

Before she can solve the family's financial troubles, Chi Ye accidentally brings a woman home on her very first day in this other world.

When Chi Ye sells the family's only five mu of farmland, everyone in the village says she's gone mad.

Later, people realize... she really has gone mad.

She tears apart scumbags, outwits despicable relatives, and kills anyone who stands in her way, whether they're gods or Buddhas...

Rumors spread throughout the village that Chi Ye is about to get married.

Shen Qingwan gently pinches Chi Ye's ear and smiles. "Who are you marrying?"

Chi Ye thinks the smile looks rather dangerous.

Sure enough, in the time it takes to breathe, her ear is twisted hard halfway around.

Chi Ye doesn't want to confess her feelings under these circumstances.

She bears the pain, her expression unusually serious. "Qingwan, no matter what you hear, don't believe it. I'll take care of everything. Trust me, okay?"

Blurb for After Becoming Neighbors with a Gentle Professor:

Jiang Lie is beautiful and bright, with an outgoing personality and countless admirers.

But she has never fallen for anyone and has been single her entire life for twenty-one years.

At a friend's birthday party, Jiang Lie turns down a friend's confession.

As she makes an excuse to leave, a drunk woman collapses into her arms.

Jiang Lie is in a bad mood at the time, and the words come out before she can stop them: "Don't try to scam me."

Jiang Lie intends to push the woman away and leave her there, but the moment she sees her face, she shamefully falls for her.

She kindly takes the woman to a hotel and looks after her, not complaining even when the woman kisses her by force.

But when she wakes the next morning, the woman has left without a word.

Jiang Lie is furious and embarrassed. "What a player!"

When they meet again, they become neighbors.

Jiang Lie calls out provocatively, "Hello, big sister."

As their relationship grows warmer, their feelings become increasingly ambiguous.

On Valentine's Day, Jiang Lie can't hold back and confesses. Su Yunci is so frightened that she moves away in the middle of the night.

*

Su Yunci considers herself emotionally detached, and her life is as bland as plain water.

Then Jiang Lie appears, like a ray of sunlight illuminating her gray, lifeless world.

Jiang Lie loves to laugh and make a fuss, bringing her a "surprise" every day.

When she's with her, happiness seems to come easily.

Su Yunci grows addicted to that feeling.

She lets Jiang Lie get closer, consciously sinking into feelings that are slowly slipping out of control.

After Valentine's Day, Su Yunci moves away in the middle of the night.

Everything returns to the way it was at the beginning, and she thinks she can accept it with equanimity.

Until she sees a drunk Jiang Lie reaching out to someone else, and realizes she was never ready to lose her.

She grabs Jiang Lie by the wrist, no longer able to restrain the possessiveness she has suppressed for so long. "Jiang Lie, come home with me."

*

It's May, and graduation is near.

Jiang Lie and Su Yunci walk side by side across Jiang University.

Thinking of their promise, Jiang Lie smiles. "Professor Su, the Endless Summer hydrangeas are about to bloom."

Su Yunci doesn't understand what she means and quietly responds, "Mm."

But her heart is in turmoil. Once she gets home, she searches for "Endless Summer."

"Hope, happiness, romance, love..."
