He Jin'an, who earned his doctorate in animal husbandry at twenty-nine, just couldn't bring himself to take a job on a farm, surrounded by pigs, cows, and sheep.
So she decisively went home to inherit the family business and settled into life as a landlady.
Just after returning to her hometown, He Jin'an was happily hoping to find an older woman to date.
But after an unexpected encounter, Luo Hanying, who rents her family's small office building, fell in love with her at first sight!
So when Luo Hanying, five years younger than her, pursued her, He Jin'an firmly turned her down!
He Jin'an was absolutely certain she only liked mature older women and was definitely not interested in younger women!!!
Besides, Luo Hanying pays millions in rent every year and is a major client of the family!
He Jin'an knows the rules! Every industry has one big taboo: falling in love with a client!
So for the sake of her wonderful retirement, she absolutely will not fall for Luo Hanying!
He Jin'an thought that once she turned Luo Hanying down, the other woman would no longer appear in her life.
But then her parents became obsessed with traveling and worried she would be lonely at home by herself.
Without telling her, they rented the spare bedroom in her spacious apartment to Luo Hanying.
Faced with the contract's penalty clause, which demanded a hundred times the rent for breaking it, He Jin'an had no choice but to give in.
He Jin'an had thought Luo Hanying would cling to her after moving in, but the other woman was unexpectedly indifferent.
So many times, He Jin'an found herself wondering if Luo Hanying's confession had been a figment of her imagination.
Just as He Jin'an thought they would continue getting along peacefully, she noticed that Luo Hanying's professional outfits and makeup were tugging at her sense of style and making her heart beat faster with each passing day.
It got even worse when Luo Hanying needed her to show up and vouch for her while taking care of various company applications. After seeing how decisive and efficient she was at work, He Jin'an's heart beat even faster.
Then, back at home, watching Luo Hanying wander around in a white shirt with her wet hair hanging loose, He Jin'an had to admit she regretted turning her down!
People have to pay for what they say.
When He Jin'an swallowed her pride and began pursuing Luo Hanying, Luo Hanying told her to think carefully about what she'd said before.
He Jin'an knew the other woman was deliberately getting "revenge," but what could she do now that she'd lost her heart?
And so He Jin'an, who had once said she wasn't interested and was obsessed with money,
started going to Luo Hanying every day, telling her over and over how much she liked her.
She even handed over all her finances, meaning that from then on, unless Luo Hanying gave her spending money, He Jin'an would be completely penniless.
This is the blurb for now. When I can start posting, I'll see whether I want to add or change anything!
Theme: Love should never be defined by convention!
