Synopsis

[The hero fiercely protects his own + extreme romantic tension + sweet romance + devoted to each other + two powerful leads]

☆ Gentle, resilient top student ✖️ Free-spirited musician

Feng Xiangbei: “I want to invest! I’ll give you my money and myself. You can read any page of my book you want, and I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Chen Zhinan: “I’m afraid you’ll lose money.”

Feng Xiangbei thinks: Losing money is no big deal. I can earn it back. But if my future wife gets away, where will I find another Chen Zhinan?

Chen Zhinan: “No! I won’t agree.”

Feng Xiangbei shrugs. “Then I’ll delete my musician account, grab two cases of beer, take a cab to the riverside, and drink. If I get upset, I’ll jump in.”

Chen Zhinan: “You’re threatening me!”

Feng Xiangbei touches the wound on his forehead. “Ow, that hurts! Ow, it really hurts!”

Chen Zhinan: “Does it hurt a lot? I’ll call a doctor!”

Feng Xiangbei grins slyly. “Chen Zhinan, you can choose not to give in to my threat.”

“But can you?”

The aloof beauty Chen Zhinan seems to be hiding a secret no one knows about… Feng Xiangbei never thought he and Chen Zhinan would have anything to do with each other, until one day, the wind scattered the dust from an explosion throughout the city, and her tears fell into his heart.

Later, he says: “I want to head north, but my heart knows south. Chen Zhinan, I think I’ve really fallen for you.”

[The protagonist’s plot armor: Sometimes showing up at just the right time is still not as good as being there from the start.]

P.S. This story also features a hilarious supporting couple: a world-saving sunflower ✖️ a carefree second-generation entrepreneur.

Looking for good romance novels with coherent, logical plots. I don't want unrealistic stories where the male lead's company somehow accounts for 65% of the world economy. The female lead shouldn't be a naive, simpering doormat or a scheming two-faced social climber. She should be a woman with a mind of her own.

I don’t want either lead to be stupid. I hope the story has a warm, everyday feel. They don’t have to be rich, but there absolutely shouldn’t be any huge misunderstandings between them. Both should be pure in love, please and thank you. I’ve been reading for years, and so many authors write things that make no sense. Sigh ╯﹏╰
