The Sky Clears, and the Moonlight Shines Softly

Pre-release: Don't Call Me Big Brother, reborn in 2000, fake heiress x real young master. Blurb 1. When Lin Yuerong woke up back inside the novel, she was right in the middle of seducing Xu Kaiji. Xu Kaiji was a powerful figure who appeared only a handful of times in this business-era novel, but every appearance determined the course of a key plot point. Cold-hearted, aloof, and ruthless, he cared about nothing but his career. According to the original plot, when Lin Yuerong went into premature labor, suffered a massive hemorrhage, and died along with her baby, he was at the negotiating table. 2. After Lin Yuerong had her way with him, she went to the pharmacy to buy emergency contraception, determined not to repeat her tragic fate of giving birth prematurely and dying in childbirth. She had lived once in a novel set in the 1990s, and once in the 21st century. She had been a pushover for two lifetimes. This time, she was clearheaded: why bother with Xu Kaiji? Kick him to the curb and focus on her studies and career instead! 3. On her way to the pharmacy, Lin Yuerong casually brought along the green-tea supporting character who was bent on replacing her and marrying Xu Kaiji. She picked up several boxes of extra-large condoms at the checkout. Deliberately putting on a sweet, syrupy voice, she explained to the green-tea girl beside her, whose face was twisting with rage, "No, I have to take the pills. Xu Kaiji is too much for me. The ones at home are too small, and all seven or eight we used last night broke." Xu Kaiji, who had been secretly following her: "..." 4. But Xu Kaiji slowly realized that the young woman only wanted him physically, not emotionally. When she was in the mood, she clung to him; when she wasn't, she couldn't stand him. To her, he was nothing but an ATM, or maybe a big toy. 5. Lin Yuerong also slowly realized that in both the original novel and her own memory, Xu Kaiji was calm and self-controlled, without desire or emotion, and cared only about his career. He had avoided her like the plague. So why, in this lifetime, could he only say "Yuerong, Yuerong, Yuerong, Yuerong, Yuerong, Yuerong"...?

[Set in the 1990s, an alternate universe, very loosely based on reality; the plot serves the characters] [Sweet romance; the author only loves sweet stories] [One-on-one romance; the author only loves absolute one-on-one romance, in this life, the last, the next, or any lifetime] Pre-release: Don't Call Me Big Brother Sang Yan wasn't born into the Sang family. Yang Huayu, the ruthless, shrewd new power of Liancheng who kept the Sang family firmly under his thumb, was. They were switched at birth. The fake heiress, Sang Yan, grew up in Nancheng, a city full of opportunity as it rebuilt after an earthquake. Her parents made their fortune in real estate and became one of the city's newest elite families, and she was raised as a pampered darling. The real young master, Yang Huayu, grew up in the old, gloomy, crumbling city of Beicheng. His mother died in the earthquake, and his father took to drinking. Yang Huayu had to rely on himself, stumbling his way into adulthood. "After twenty years of being switched, someone has to make it up to us." "Either the Sang family falls, or you marry me." "Sang Yan, I'm at the civil affairs bureau across the street. I'll wait five minutes." Sang Yan had no choice but to take the second option. She left everyone behind and fled her engagement banquet with Wei Fuqi of the Wei family. The Sang and Wei families were both spared, and Wei Fuqi was sent abroad. Sang Yan was trapped in a marriage where she was treated like a bargaining chip, day after day. She thought Yang Huayu was right to hate her. It was only right that they acted like a model couple in public, lived like strangers in private, and that he treated her coldly in their cage of a marriage. At the moment she finally made peace with it, Sang Yan returned to the age of sixteen. At sixteen, there was still time. She had to come up with a way to make things right and return Yang Huayu's life to him. So, on the way home from school, Sang Yan blocked Yang Huayu and sweetly called out, "Big brother." Yang Huayu, who had also returned to the age of sixteen, was cold and merciless: "Don't call me that. Who says I'm your brother? Who wants to be your brother!" Sang Yan persevered, determined to get Yang Huayu back into the Sang family. Then they could be a loving family of four, and Yang Huayu could grow up happy, without ever suppressing the Sang family or resorting to blackmailing her into marrying him. (Calmly) Yang Huayu: "Sang Yan, if we went abroad to get married right now, we'd still be a loving family of four." (Terrified) Sang Yan: "B-Big brother..." (Devilishly) Yang Huayu: "If you dare call me big brother again, I'll kiss you." (Terrified) Sang Yan: "...Big brother, calm down." Yang Huayu's eyes darkened. He pinned her against the mottled brick wall. Sang Yan's heart pounded like a drum, and she fled before he could kiss her. - Wei Fuqi arranged a gathering and carefully planned a romantic confession. Before Sang Yan could even react, Yang Huayu pushed away the rose Wei Fuqi had offered her. Wei Fuqi promised earnestly, "Don't worry, bro. I'll treat Yanyan well." Yang Huayu looked at him as if he were an idiot. To everyone's astonishment, he lowered his head, grabbed Sang Yan by the nape, and kissed her hard. - Everyone in Liancheng knew that Yang Huayu wasn't just a school bully or a top student. He was also a sister-obsessed protector. Even though his sister was a fake heiress who had taken more than ten years of his life as the real young master. Eventually, everyone in Liancheng understood: Yang Huayu wasn't a sister-obsessed protector. He was just an utterly devoted husband! - The fake heiress, reborn in 2000, [determined to build a warm family of four] and [convinced she'd grown 800 extra brain cells] and the real young master, reborn in 2000, [carefully plotting every step to win his wife] and [who really had grown 800 extra brain cells] Theme: Protecting and passing down intangible cultural heritage.
