Disclaimer: I do not own Hana Yori Dango or any of its characters ... oh, and of course the nicely words of wisdom from the introduction were humbly borrowed from "Pride and Prejudice" which is not ours either but Jane Austen's.

Author's notes: Hello, there! We should probably first inform you that it's an AU fanfic so you might find some characters that do not appear in the original story. They are our creations and we hope you will like them as much as we do. So without further ado, we wish you a pleasant reading.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single, twenty-something-years-old, rich, womanizer, egocentric, narcissistic man will, at some point in his life, have to put up with his family's attempts to organize and "improve" said life. With only the best intention in mind, they will fuss and agitate themselves over every aspect of the young man's life, criticizing this, implying that, nagging all the time, but with very little success.

Just as true is the fact that a single, twenty-something-years-old, poor, innocent, dreamy, kind woman will, at some point in her life, lose all hopes of getting the said man. It will take some time of course …oh, let's say five years of restlessly chasing such an incurable bachelor before the rupture finally happens. It is very unlikely that after giving up all hopes, the girl will ever reconsider.
