We Just Started Living Together, and Things Are Already Out of Control

[Mostly Everyday Life] [Slow-Burning Romance] [Living Together Before Falling in Love] [Sweet Romance] [Truly Gentle CEO] [Hardworking Cinderella]

Jiang Yue Li has just two interests in life: money and good-looking men.

Maybe Heaven wanted to test her, because first it let her snag a luxury home at thirty percent off.

Then it turned around and left her struggling to make ends meet under a mortgage.

To pay it off, she reluctantly put the place up for rent.

And in walked the perfect roommate: Gao Tan, the home's original owner.

-

Gao Tan is just like his name. He stands above the rest, with a heart as serene as fragrant sandalwood.

Cool and refined, gentle yet strong, he is sophisticated and easy on the eyes.

They keep clear boundaries and opposite schedules, making them the model housemates.

-

Until her grandmother shows up unannounced and mistakes them for a couple living together.

To deal with the pressure to get married, Jiang Yue Li begs Gao Tan to help her. As she keeps pleading, an idea strikes her.

"How about we get a real marriage license but pretend it's fake? That way, you can live in your own house forever!"

Gao Tan: ...I renovated this house. It was mine from the start.

Later, Jiang Yue Li finds a new job and realizes her new boss bears a striking resemblance to her "husband."

It isn't until Gao Tan hands her a black card and the profit-sharing statements for his 56 subsidiaries that she learns the truth: her poor husband, whom she'd always thought had lost all his money to his ex-girlfriend, is a real CEO!

She looks at the enormous balance in her hands, then gets another look at Gao Tan's eight-pack abs. Without hesitation, she kisses him and pounces!

-

Tan is a fine tree, tall and upright. Lively as a carp, leaping across the river.
