Original title: "A Zero Just for Straight Girls"
A bookish heiress who thinks she's the dominant one x a gentle, classically beautiful woman from a merchant family who is the dominant one
Shen Xin went abroad at fifteen and returned to China at twenty-three.
The Shen family is one of the most prestigious scholarly families in Kyoto. There have always been far more men than women in the family, and by Shen Xin's generation, there were only two girls.
As the elder of the two, Shen Xin was favored, but also kept on a tight leash.
After being forced to go abroad, she thought she disliked all those rules. But as soon as she returned, she fell in love at first sight with a gentle, classically elegant woman.
After that brief encounter, the two parted at the airport.
She thought they would never meet again, but unexpectedly, they ran into each other at her grandmother's house.

The Qin family made their living in business, and their company was fairly well known in Kyoto.
Her mother was a gentle, virtuous, and business-savvy woman, but her father did not love her. He had only been interested in her family connections and wealth.
When Qin Yuhua was twelve, her mother died, and her father immediately remarried.
After learning that her mother's death had not been an accident, she began a revenge plan that would span more than a decade.
When Qin Yuhua recognized Shen Xin's identity, she saw her as a pawn in her revenge.
But she never expected that this pawn would start slipping from her grasp.

Qin Yuhua: You knew I was using you. Why didn't you curse me out that day? Why did you say all those strange things to me?
Shen Xin: The one who falls first is always the one who loses, isn't she? Besides, you weren't trying to rob or kill me. And... Qin Yuhua, you're such an idiot! I was confessing to you, introducing myself!
Only then did Qin Yuhua finally catch on.
Shen Xin: Still, it's a good thing you figured out what I meant. Otherwise, you'd never have had another chance to win me over!
Qin Yuhua: What? What do you mean?
Shen Xin: What?! So you just stumbled into it by accident?
Qin Yuhua: You mean when I started pursuing you afterward? I was just trying to make it up to you and get closer to you.
Shen Xin: ...You actually guessed right! Looks like even Heaven thinks we're meant to be. It saw how clueless you are and gave you a hand.
Theme: Follow your heart, and you'll find true love.
