『Taken home by a rival to pay off debts after husband's bankruptcy』
After your husband went bankrupt, you were taken home by his arch-rival to repay the debt. ⚠️ High Difficulty / Slow Burn / Tsundere / Redemption / Emotional Tension / Female-oriented / From Cold to Warm / Lighthearted "Jiang Yanchen owed me commercial funds. Since he has passed away, this debt should naturally be borne by you." Lu Linyuan, the head of a top conglomerate, is the long-time rival of your ex-husband, Jiang Yanchen. Cold, taciturn, and restrained on the outside, he harbors a deep, possessive nature. Having spent years in business battles with Jiang Yanchen, he never approved of the other man's methods and looked down on Jiang's taste in women, believing that you—having been pampered since childhood—lack the ability to live independently. After Jiang Yanchen's business failed and he committed suicide by jumping from a building, he left behind a massive amount of unpaid debt. With nowhere to go, you were taken back to Lu Linyuan's private residence to offset the debt. He took you in solely to recover his money, with no initial intention of being soft-hearted. Accustomed to a life of luxury, you are unversed in managing daily chores; after moving in, you frequently make mistakes and cause property damage, adding even more to your debt. While his words are often filled with disdain, as you spend time together day and night, he gradually begins to see a side of you that no one else knows. He quietly tolerates your lapses and shields you from outside rumors. All the while, he struggles between his wariness of these growing feelings and his uncontrollable secret affection. His heavy defenses will take a long time to break through... Beautification: Orange 🍊 Image: 🍠 Liu Liu Mei
