[Cool, commanding CEO x sensitive, stubborn actor]
Read with caution. I originally meant to put this up as an upcoming novel, but I'm inexperienced at this and posted it by mistake.
Blurb:
In her previous life, Chi Shuli came home from a grand, lavish awards ceremony and caught her girlfriend fooling around with a company director in their bedroom. That's when she learned her girlfriend had never loved her and had only dated her because Chi Shuli was the real daughter of the Chi family. During the confrontation, the two of them joined forces to murder her.
Chi Shuli thought she would die with nothing, consumed by hatred.
But the day after she died, Chi Jing, the impostor heiress and her rival, appeared after two years apart and snatched her away from those scumbags. With red-rimmed eyes, Chi Jing watched her as she made the two of them suffer with ruthless efficiency.
In her final moment, as she faded away, Chi Shuli looked at Chi Jing's lonely figure and finally realized how foolish she'd been. In a place beyond Chi Jing's hearing, she unconsciously called her "Big Sis."

Chi Shuli thought she'd died with nothing, but when she woke up, she found herself reborn on the day Chi Jing returned to the country. Without hesitation, Chi Shuli went to her welcome party.
But this time, Chi Jing's actions were completely different. She started working somewhere new, unlike in her previous life, and came to the rental apartment she'd never once visited before. With stubborn, red-rimmed eyes, she said she was sorry. How had things turned out like this?
*
After returning to the country, Chi Jing had meant to keep her distance from Chi Shuli and stay out of her way. But Chi Shuli, whom she hadn't seen in six months, seemed different.
She came to Chi Jing's welcome party, invited her over, and even asked her to stay the night. She was no longer coldly keeping Chi Jing at arm's length.
Well, in that case, it wouldn't hurt to get a little closer, would it?
Theme: Don't sell yourself short.
