Bold, straightforward beauty × aloof high-flower

They reunite right at the start

1.

Back in college, Shen Zhinan was strikingly good-looking, an excellent student, and unfailingly courteous. She was the very picture of an untouchable beauty.

Lin Chuxiao, a beauty renowned for her cool reserve, plucked that flower, causing quite a stir.

Later, Shen Zhinan transformed into the eldest young master of the Shen Group of Nanwan. The high-flower now had a golden edge, but Lin Chuxiao dumped her without warning.

The day they unexpectedly met again, Lin Chuxiao arrived holding flowers. The beauty and the blooms made each other shine. Others said many things, but Shen Zhinan only caught the words, “Is she especially beautiful?”

So Shen Zhinan, who never commented on anyone’s looks, made an exception and agreed. “Mm. Especially beautiful.”

She was even more beautiful back then, when Shen Zhinan kissed her until she was breathless, her eyes glistening with tears.

Back in college, in the music room at Beihuai University at the start of summer, the closed room was hot and stifling.

Lin Chuxiao pressed her back against the wall, gasping for breath, while Shen Zhinan leaned into the hollow of her neck and chuckled. “Baby, how come you still haven’t learned to catch your breath?”

2.

The Shen Group was worth billions. Shen Zhinan, its heir, and Lin Chuxiao, an ordinary flower-shop owner, shared a past.

Everyone thought it was just a youthful fling from their innocent, inexperienced days. Besides, they had been broken up for years, so surely Young Master Shen had long forgotten someone like her.

No one knew that Shen Zhinan had developed insomnia. Without medication, she could barely sleep at night, and when she did fall asleep with the pills, she dreamed of Lin Chuxiao breaking up with her again and again.

They had broken up without even saying goodbye. All she had was a mechanical female voice reminding her over and over that Lin Chuxiao had dumped her and didn’t want her anymore.

“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later...”

In the early spring, when the cold still lingered despite the warming weather, she sat for a very long time on the steps of a classroom building at Beihuai University. The north wind numbed her exposed skin.

3.

Love is like spilled water: once spilled, it can’t be gathered up again. She accepted her defeat. Again and again, she explained, pleaded, and laid bare her heart, only for the other woman to say they should just be ordinary friends.

Shen Zhinan took a deep breath. Tears surged, nearly impossible to hold back, and her words were full of hurt. “Ordinary friends? You know how much I love you. We can’t be friends.”

She lowered her eyes, then looked up again, her eyes already red. Her voice was resentful. “Lin Chuxiao, do you even have a heart? You abandoned me without listening to my explanation back then, and now you give me hope only to reject me again. You just want me to be your dog, don’t you?”

A dog who came when called and left when dismissed, who revolved around her alone and existed to amuse her?

Seeing Lin Chuxiao fall silent, she rubbed her eyes and gave in with a quiet voice. “I’m willing to be your obedient, good dog. Can you please not leave me?”

Later, at 12:52 a.m. Geneva time, Shen Zhinan got her wish. Lin Chuxiao turned back to look at her, and she had stayed right where she was.

“Then I’ll keep waiting. I’ll wait and wait. I’ll stay right here, and one day you’ll come back.”

Pseudo-siblings | A touch of wall-staring love | Age gap | Size difference

Teary sweet girl × possessive, needy yandere brother

Pei Xunian, heir to the Yu'an Group, is of mixed Chinese and Russian heritage, with brown hair, gray eyes, and striking, deep-set features.

The year he returned home, his father remarried, and Wen Shi became his stepsister.

To both of them, the words “brother” and “sister” meant no more than strangers did.

As the sun rose and the moon set, as day and night turned over, their sibling affection quietly changed into something else.

Pei Xunian began to care about where Wen Shi’s gaze landed, and hated the eyes that lingered on her.

He secretly hid his sister’s broken hair ties and her worn-out hair clips...

Even her bedding began to have a few of a young girl’s intimate garments mixed in.

His low, dark thoughts saw the light in a summer rainstorm.

[Sister, I want you to have only me.]

[Sister, I love you. You belong by my side.]

Wen Shi fled as if her life depended on it.

Nancheng and Shencheng were far apart. She thought they would never meet again.

Clearly, Wen Shi had underestimated Pei Xunian.

On a night of first snow, inside a Maybach with the partition raised, Pei Xunian kissed her passionately and at length. When his fingertips slid onto Wen Shi’s leg, she pushed his hand away.

“I think my sister is enjoying this...”

Wen Shi could take no more and slapped him.

The man’s pale cheek turned red and swollen at once. He smiled wickedly, then gently kissed Wen Shi’s palm. “Sister, hit me harder. Beat me to death.”

“I don’t mind being with you in a love that lingers between the living and the dead.”

Theme: Love can overcome every hardship, and even a broken relationship can be mended.
