The Age of Fear of Marriage

A lovelorn single woman in her late twenties × a successful overseas returnee who's afraid of marriage Ning Yu was the kind of child other parents wished they had. Then, without quite realizing how it happened, she became a single woman of 28. As a decidedly inept programmer whose hair is actually falling out, she's always at risk of being laid off or made the scapegoat. These days, the only label she can boast is that she's an only child from a family whose home was demolished for redevelopment. Not the pile of dusty certificates she has. Later, she decides to get rich by marrying, but at the end of an excruciatingly awkward blind-date dinner, she runs into Liang Chen, the crush she had back in school. Liang Chen gets her out of a jam, then promptly digs her another hole. The only man Ning Yu ever had a crush on as a girl is afraid of marriage, and might even be a Liang Youcai. And yet Ning Yu can't decide whether to jump into the hole in the name of love. Then Ning Yu, who has never set foot in a kitchen, starts cooking to make ends meet and gradually becomes completely hooked. In short, it's a story about a longtime slacker finally turning her life around, and a man who never wanted marriage discovering that it's actually pretty great.
