   The first book was a super tragic ending: "I have a girlfriend, she's eighteen, and if she's still alive this year, she'll be twenty-one, the same age as me." The second book, which I initially thought would be just a typical sweet campus romance, turned out to be quite good. The outwardly strong male lead and the outwardly sweet but inwardly strong female lead were a perfect match! Their friends were also interesting and engaging. Although the male lead had an unhappy family background, his values were very positive, and he respected the female lead. I was genuinely surprised by the complex yet plausible romantic relationships of their friends at the end. The unspoken crushes, unrequited confessions, and the freedom from the constraints of love—each character felt vibrant! The third book was also a tragic ending, a mutual unrequited love that ended without resolution. The fourth book begins with Luo Cheng encountering the righteous "Wooden Stick Guy" Mu Chen in an alley and staring intently at her hands. Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Mu Chen thought the girl was quite bold, not running away from witnessing a fight. Unable to bear it any longer, he told her to leave, only to be met with a glare from the girl before she left. The story ends with Mu Chen marrying his beloved Luo Cheng, giving her all his love, and having his parents love her too. They have a son, Mu Siluo, and a daughter, Mu Niancheng.

   📚"His Favoritism Out of Control" - A Highly Recommended Campus Romance📚 In a campus filled with blooming gardenias, a heart-pounding, mutual unrequited love unfolds! This campus romance novel delicately portrays the bittersweet yet passionate love of youth—the academically gifted female lead is quiet and reserved, unaware that the basketball star has already lost all control over her. From secretly passed notes under the desk to blushing ears during a chance encounter in the library, to the viral video of her special bottle of water by the playground... Everyone understands the school heartthrob's blatant favoritism, except for the female lead, who remains wondering, "What does he really mean?" The author writes about those unspoken gestures on campus with a sweet, almost trembling quality: he's always the first to spot her in a crowd, remembers all her dietary restrictions, and even changed his three-year habit of being late for her. When the aloof male god transforms into a clingy, affectionate puppy, this pure love battle, stretching from the classroom corridors to graduation, perfectly recreates everyone's most beautiful, heart-fluttering moments on campus! Highly recommended for those pure-hearted warriors who still believe "he only drinks the water I hand him when he plays basketball"~ (Pssst: the extra episodes about their college cohabitation are overflowing with sweetness!)

    "What Does the School Beauty Have to Do with Me! Her Eyes Are Full of Light" Recommendation: Ancient Style Sweet Romance [Synopsis] "That boy Dongfang Yun, shouldn't he confess tonight?" The classmates all smiled, waiting for him to utter his earth-shattering words. But no one knew that the peach blossom letter in his sleeve weighed more than a thousand pounds—not out of cowardice, but because he feared to offend the pure light in his heart. Every day he would adorn her hair, grind ink for her, and feel the world lose its color when he saw her frown. She scolded him for having ink on his fingertips, and he chuckled: "It's alright, it's just good for drawing your eyebrows." She was annoyed that he always disturbed her reading, so he simply took the book, his voice as warm and mellow as wine: "I'll read, you listen." Everyone said the school beauty was stunning, but his eyes only reflected that simple white dress—her eyelashes trembled slightly when she turned the pages, her lips curled slightly when she drank tea, even the catkins in her hair seemed like lingering clouds. "No matter how good others are, what does it matter to me?" He brushed his fingertips through her loose hair, a jade hairpin gently holding its shimmering light. "My only wish in this life is to protect the eternal brightness of the stars and moon in your eyes." >**Ancient Style, High-Sweetness, Daily Pampering, Academy Romance**< His long-planned, breathtaking glance will finally ignite her silent galaxy—on the day she comes of age, he will offer the mountains and rivers as his betrothal gift and embrace her in his arms. --- **Highlights of the Recommendation**: 1. **Sweetness Anchor Points**—Daily interactions in ancient style, such as hairpinning, ink grinding, eyebrow drawing, and reading, are sweet and deeply satisfying. 2. **Character Tension**—The aloof and scholarly male lead versus the "Ink Attendant" who is devoted to her alone. 3. **Suspense Hooks**—The unsent peach blossom letter hints at a deeper bond, building up to the ultimate confession scene.

    Synopsis: The Invisible Man's Existence: Lu Mingyu lives in the most remote corner of the Lu family compound, deliberately ignored by everyone. She wasn't even invited to her sister's wedding, highlighting her marginal status within the family. Awakening of Talent: Lu Mingyu cultivates an astonishing talent for painting in solitude. Her works are full of vitality, yet no one appreciates them, until they are discovered by Qin Yan, the second young master of the Qin family, who unexpectedly stumbles upon them. An Unexpected Admirer: Qin Yan is awestruck by Lu Mingyu's work and offers to sponsor her further studies. This becomes the first turning point in her life, foreshadowing her relationship with the Qin family. The Shadow of Family Secrets: Lu Mingyu overhears a conversation about her origins and begins to question why she is treated this way, foreshadowing the later revelation that she is not the biological daughter of the Lu family. The Budding of Determination: After being completely ignored on her wedding day and having her painting talent discovered, Lu Mingyu begins to consider the possibility of escaping this suffocating family. This writing focuses on Lu Mingyu's experiences on the day of her family wedding. Through her isolation from the family's lively atmosphere, her unexpected encounter with Qin Yan, and the shock of discovering the family's secret, it reveals the situation and inner world of this neglected girl. --- "Locked in the Deep Chamber" The door at the deepest part of the third floor was tightly closed, the lock rusted, as if it hadn't been opened for years. Inside, Lu Mingyu stood before her easel, her slender fingers holding a charcoal pencil, quickly sketching lines on the paper. Laughter, firecrackers, and celebratory drums echoed from downstairs. Today was the wedding day of her half-sister, Lu Yun. The Qin family's wedding procession had arrived early, and the entire Lu family was immersed in joy. No one had come to inform her. Lu Mingyu was already used to this feeling of being forgotten. Since her mother's death ten years ago and her father's remarriage, she had been placed in the most secluded room in the house. Not only did she have to climb three floors, but she also had to go around a storage room to reach it, as if she were a secret hidden from the family. "Boom, boom, boom"—another burst of firecrackers erupted downstairs, making her small window tremble slightly. Lu Mingyu stopped drawing and went to the window. From this angle, she could see the courtyard brightly decorated and bustling with people. Her older sister, Lu Yun, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, was surrounded by people, her face beaming with happiness. Her father and stepmother stood to the side, their faces full of pride. Her fingers unconsciously touched the windowpane, the cold touch bringing her back to reality. She was eighteen years old, had lived in this house for ten years, yet had never even taken a family photo. The charcoal lines on the drawing board formed a lively wedding scene, but unlike the celebration downstairs, the wedding in her drawing exuded an eerie atmosphere—the bride's smile was stiff, the guests' faces were blurred, and a weeping face was hidden in the corner. This was one of her recent series of works, which she titled "Celebration." "Click"—the sudden sound of the door lock turning made Lu Mingyu freeze. For ten years, apart from the maid who brought her meals every day, almost no one came to her room. The door was pushed open, and a strange male voice rang out: "So there's a room here?" Lu Mingyu quickly turned around and saw a young man standing in the doorway. He was about twenty years old, wearing a well-tailored dark blue suit, with handsome features and a hint of unruliness in his eyes. Unlike the joyful guests downstairs, his expression was clearly impatient and weary. Their eyes met, and the man was visibly startled, obviously not expecting anyone to be in this secluded little room. "Who are you?" Lu Mingyu asked warily, instinctively stepping aside to block the easel. The man snapped out of his daze and raised an eyebrow: "Qin Yan. The second young master of the Qin family. Today's groom is my eldest brother." He looked her up and down, "And who are you? A maid from the Lu family?" Lu Mingyu pursed her lips. So even the Qin family didn't know she existed. "Lu Mingyu," she answered briefly, "the Lu family's... Daughter." Qin Yan was clearly taken aback: "The Lu family's daughter? I've never heard of her before..." His gaze passed over her, landing on the easel behind her. "Did you paint that?" Lu Mingyu didn't answer, but Qin Yan had already strode into the room and walked around behind her. The small room suddenly felt even more crowded, and the faint scent of his cologne filled the air. "Interesting." Qin Yan stared at the easel, surprise flashing in his eyes. "You studied art?" "Self-taught," Lu Mingyu answered softly, her fingers unconsciously twisting together. This was the first time someone had seen her paintings. Qin Yan carefully examined the paintings, his expression gradually becoming serious: "The composition... The expressiveness..." He suddenly turned to her, "Any other works?" Lu Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and pulled an old leather suitcase from under the bed. Inside, a stack of paintings was neatly arranged. Qin Yan took them and flipped through them one by one, his surprise growing more and more obvious. "These... Are really special." He looked up at her, his eyes changing. "Have you considered studying art professionally?" Lu Mingyu gave a wry smile. "How could I possibly..." "I can help you," Qin Yan suddenly said. "I know a few good art schools abroad. If you're interested..." A cheer suddenly erupted from downstairs, interrupting their conversation. Qin Yan frowned. "I have to go down, or my brother will nag again." He pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Mingyu. "Consider my suggestion, then give me a call." With that, he hurriedly left, leaving Lu Mingyu standing there, clutching the gold-embossed business card, as if in a dream. She looked down at the card: Qin Yan, Vice President of Qin Group, followed by a phone number. The edges of the card were worn, indicating he had given it to many people. "Liar," Lu Mingyu murmured, but still carefully placed the card in the drawer. The noise outside continued into the afternoon. Lu Mingyu picked up her charcoal pencil again, but could no longer find the mood to draw. She decided to risk going downstairs to find something to eat—the servants usually brought meals on time, but today everyone had clearly forgotten. She tiptoed down the stairs, avoiding the main passageway, and made her way to the kitchen. Just as she passed her father's study, a conversation coming from inside made her stop. "... What about that girl? We can't keep her locked up forever." It was her stepmother's voice. "Now that Yun'er is married into the Qin family, our position is secure." Her father's voice sounded nonchalant. "Just let her stay there; nobody cares anyway." "But she's becoming more and more like her mother. What if someone sees her..." "So what if they see her? Who cares about the daughter of a madwoman?" Lu Mingyu's blood seemed to freeze instantly. A madwoman? Her mother had clearly died of illness... "The Qin family..." "Don't worry, the Qin family only knows we have one daughter. As for Mingyu..." Her father sneered, "Just pretend she doesn't exist." Footsteps approached the door, and Lu Mingyu quickly hid around the corner. Her stepmother came out, looked around, and then walked towards the main building. Lu Mingyu leaned against the wall, her heart pounding. So that's it... She wasn't just being ignored, but being deliberately hidden. Her mother hadn't died of illness, but... She'd gone mad? The kitchen was empty, leftover food from the banquet laid out on the long table. Lu Mingyu mechanically grabbed a few pastries and turned to walk back. As she passed through the hall, she caught a glimpse of Qin Yan standing in the crowd, absentmindedly attending to the guests. His gaze swept across the hall and suddenly met hers. Lu Mingyu quickly turned away, but she could feel his gaze following her. Back in her room, she locked the door and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. Her father's words echoed in her mind: "The daughter of a madwoman"... Was this the real reason she was locked up here? Outside the window, the sun was setting, and the wedding festivities were gradually subsiding. Lu Mingyu went to the easel, picked up a charcoal pencil, and began to draw frantically. The lines were chaotic yet powerful, and a blurry image of a woman gradually took shape—it was the image of her mother in her memory, gentle and beautiful, completely unrelated to the words "madwoman." Halfway through the drawing, the charcoal pencil broke. Looking at the distorted image on the drawing paper, Lu Mingyu suddenly burst into tears. Night deepened, and the Lu family finally quieted down. Lu Mingyu lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Qin Yan's business card lay beside her pillow, faintly gleaming in the moonlight. She reached for the card, her fingers tracing the gold lettering. Perhaps... Perhaps this was an opportunity? A chance to escape this cage? The sound of a car starting came from downstairs; the Qin family was leaving. Lu Mingyu went to the window and saw Qin Yan get into the car last. Before getting in, he looked up at her window; though he couldn't possibly see her in the darkness, this gesture made Lu Mingyu's heart skip a beat. The convoy slowly drove away, its red taillights fading into the night, like hope slowly dying out. Lu Mingyu gripped the business card tightly. Perhaps... Perhaps she would make that call tomorrow. Perhaps... Perhaps there were other possibilities in her life. She returned to her drawing board, picked up the broken charcoal pencil, and signed her name in the corner of the drawing—Lu Mingyu, three small but firm characters, as if declaring her existence to the world. --- The story may unfold in the following directions: Mystery of Her Origins: When Lu Mingyu hears her father call her mother a "madwoman," it suggests her origins may be more complex than imagined, foreshadowing the later revelation that she might have been adopted from a mental hospital by the Lu family rather than being their biological daughter. Artistic Talent: Qin Yan's strong reaction to Lu Mingyu's paintings suggests her artistic talent might be related to her real mother, laying the groundwork for the later revelation that her birth mother was actually a renowned artist who was framed by the Lu family. Dangerous Attraction: The detail of Qin Yan deliberately glancing at Lu Mingyu's window before leaving suggests he has an unusual interest in her, foreshadowing the development of their complex relationship, including the possibility that Qin Yan knows some secrets about the Lu family.

    "My Senior is a Little Hard to Pursue": On the day the list of successful candidates was announced, his beloved Xiao Xingyu, the top scorer in the academy, and Su Zhaoran, the talented girl from the mountain city, were nowhere to be seen. They had once held hands under the moon, laughing at the world's ridicule. "The word 'love' cannot be measured by mortals," he said, picking up his pen on red paper, the ink still wet before sending it on a wild goose to fly a thousand miles away. She replied: "Ignore the idle talk, wait for you to achieve your goal, then we'll drink wine together in the mountain city and watch the spring deepen." For ninety-three days, he endured the torment of longing, burying himself in books, only wanting to be with her in Chang'an. On the day the results were announced, he topped the list at the Qionglin Banquet, rushing to the post station with the good news, his fingertips trembling as he dialed the secret code engraved in his heart. The only response was the lonely clanging of the iron horse on the eaves of the post station. The fragrance of ink from the Qionglin Banquet lingered, but the new top scorer, Xiao Xingyu, felt his fingertips were cold. The time at the mountain city academy, steeped in ink and moonlight, seemed like a past life. At that time, Su Zhaoran ground the ink, and he wielded his brush, dappled sunlight filtering through the windowpane dancing on her hair. The common people laughed at his folly, mocking him for believing that talented men and beautiful women could truly grow old together. He merely ground his sarcasm into the ink, each word a retort: "How can sparrows know the ambitions of a swan? You laugh at my deep affection, I laugh at your withered hearts." He entrusted his feelings to red paper, on the wings of a southward-flying goose, every line a plea for "Your arrival." He burned the midnight oil, eager to cross those thousand miles of mountains and rivers as soon as possible. On the day the results were announced, the city's clamor went unheard; he clutched the congratulatory document, his knuckles white, longing only to hear that familiar voice say "Congratulations." Under the eaves of the post station, he repeatedly dialed the string of secret signals he knew by heart—but only the cold wind blowing through the hall and the monotonous whistling of the iron horses on the eaves responded, each sound striking the emptier of his heart. The red stationery on his desk still carries the scent of rouge, the ink's warmth like her whispered words. Who severed that thread of fate, connecting them like strands of hair? This once glorious city of Chang'an has become a lonely city, trapping him. On the day his name was inscribed on the golden list, was it truly a case of deep affection turning to nothing? Has the promise of drinking wine in the deep spring of the mountain city been blown away by the wind, never to be found again?

    Help! Does anyone understand?! The crazy male lead with mutual unrequited love made me cry 😭 In the sweltering summer, Lin Xiaotang was dragged into the office by the head teacher. Looking up, she saw a boy casually twirling a pen by the window, the sunlight gilding his pale skin. "This is the new transfer student, Shen Yan. You'll be responsible for showing him around the campus." She nodded, clutching the hem of her clothes, unaware of the undercurrent in the boy's eyes when he lowered them—back in junior high, he had secretly hidden her in his heart across the playground fence. He deliberately knocked over the ink bottle when she was on duty, but as she frantically wiped it, his fingertips brushed against her reddened fingertips; when she was confessed to by an upperclassman, he suddenly put his arm around her shoulder: "Sorry, my girlfriend is here," his warm breath brushing against her ear. Until the night of the school anniversary celebration, he cornered her in the empty auditorium, moonlight streaming down his reddened eyes: "Xiao Tang, I can't wait any longer." A minty kiss landed, carrying years of suppressed obsession, "This time, it's your turn not to run away." ✨The pinnacle of mutual unrequited love!! A seemingly aloof but actually possessive and crazy male lead x a soft, oblivious but incredibly charming female lead. From school uniforms to wedding dresses, every frame is a heart-fluttering explosion💘 #CampusSweetRomance #MutualUnrequitedLove #HighSweetnessWarning
