Love Comes After FIRE

Workplace powerhouse Xu Shuqin lost a company power struggle and walked away with a generous severance package. Exhausted in body and mind but sitting on a hefty savings account, she decided to FIRE. She packed overnight and returned to her rural hometown to lie flat.

As an unemployed single woman past her prime, Xu Shuqin drew plenty of attention after returning to the village. The village matchmaker, who did matchmaking on the side, set her sights on pairing Xu Shuqin with Wang Youcheng.

Wang Youcheng had been Xu Shuqin's elementary school classmate, a hopeless student whose good points were his silver tongue and handsome face. He went off to make his way in the world after completing nine years of compulsory education, and had a son before turning twenty. Now he leased unused village land to grow fruit. Rumor had it he earned seven figures a year, yet he remained single and unmarried while raising his son, making him the village's most eligible bachelor.

At first, Xu Shuqin wasn't interested in a match like that.

But then she changed her mind.
