[Blurb One]: Xia Yiyang has always been his family's little emperor, cherished and spoiled. In his eighteen years, he's done two especially rebellious things. One was applying to Rongcheng University, a thousand miles from the capital, despite all his relatives' objections. The other was taking off on a solo trip right after the college entrance exam, without telling his family until it was too late. Unfortunately, on his third day in Rongcheng, he was swindled out of all the New Year's money he'd saved up over eighteen years. Asking his parents for help would only worry them, while borrowing from friends would just make him a laughingstock. To earn money and make his dream come true, the little emperor, who has never lifted a finger at home, decides to get a job. He asks at every shop on the university's snack street, and finally finds an ice jelly shop willing to hire him. The only problem is that the owner is very handsome, but looks scary. Full of confidence, Xia Yiyang believes that the legend of a rising new sun, a capital-city nobleman in disguise, the future emperor of part-time work, and a hidden top student at Rongda is about to begin in this little shop! [Blurb Two]: After graduating from college, Sheng Lin turns down an offer from a large company and opens an ice jelly shop near his alma mater to make ends meet. One day, a little emperor shows up at his shop, deigning to work there. The little emperor has never cut fruit or swept a floor, and eats three bowls of rice at every meal. He's innocent and unbelievably easy to fool. Whenever something displeases him, it shows all over his face. He doesn't speak or make a sound, just glares at you with those bright, black-and-white eyes, furiously meowing insults to himself in his head. Quite the temper. The little emperor has nowhere to stay, so Sheng Lin softens and lets him move into his home. It takes just one month to go from sharing a room to sharing a bed, and another month to go from sharing a bed to sharing a pillow. Well, well. Sheng Lin thinks: So I'm the one who has to serve him in bed, too. … Also known as: Yes, I'm the Little Emperor Who Works Part-Time and How Did My Work-Study Job Turn into Me Becoming the Boss's Wife? Theme: Don't give up when you run into trouble. Work hard to save yourself.
