[Coming-of-age / nine-year age gap / older top]

After the band leader dies, Chi Yeyu takes over her band and spends a million yuan to buy guardianship of her daughter, Shi Shuangxue.

Shi Shuangxue is aloof and insecure. So Miss Chi takes her to meet her parents and tells them, "Yes, she's the only one I want. I'll raise her for the rest of my life." Her parents are so furious they nearly faint.

She teaches Shi Shuangxue to play the drums by hand, but ends up raising an excellent bass player.

She follows a parenting manual to raise Shi Shuangxue through puberty, but somehow the girl not only turns out gay, she confesses her love to her!

Chi Yeyu: ? So where exactly did I go wrong?

*

One day after school, Shi Shuangxue meets a con artist at the school gate.

The con artist is tall and beautiful, but gives off a suspicious vibe. She tells her, "Congratulations! I'm here to make you the happiest child in the world!"

And that's how she gets led away by a pretty, bad woman.

After her mother dies, Chi Yeyu's first look at her holds no surprise or sympathy, only a matter-of-fact appraisal, as if she were inspecting something she had ordered long ago.

Shi Shuangxue dislikes her, believing their personalities don't mesh and that they won't get along for long.

Until one day, after watching Chi Yeyu perform, she dreams of those slender fingers holding drumsticks, the knuckles distinct and strong.

She panics and gets up in the middle of the night to scrub her underwear in the bathroom.

Chi Yeyu has no idea about her little girl's secret feelings for her, and keeps kissing, hugging, and lifting her up without a hint of distance.

In the middle of the night, Shi Shuangxue leans against her bedside and asks, "Chi Yeyu, will you always stay with me?"

Half-asleep, Chi Yeyu soothes her. "I will. Even when I'm dead, I'll cling to your shoulder."

So Shi Shuangxue keeps it bottled up for three years, until she finally erupts.

On the day she turns eighteen, she asks Chi Yeyu for a present.

Chi Yeyu is surprised. "Has the sun started rising in the west? Tell me, what do you want?"

Shi Shuangxue holds her little face perfectly still. "Have sex with me."

Chi Yeyu: "Sure... Wait, what???"

"She Proposed to Me After I Saved My Nemesis"

Ning Xixue and Su Jinhan are notorious enemies, as everyone online knows.

According to rumors, the popular singer Su Jinhan had a dramatic breakup with Ning Xixue back in school. Scandalous posts and screenshots spread everywhere, and ever since, she's been eager to block CP fans and anything else related to Ning Xixue.

Ning Xixue moved overseas and eventually became a court interpreter.

Now that she's returned to the country, the whole internet is waiting for a satisfying revenge story.

No one expected that Ning Xixue would save Su Jinhan in a car accident, at the cost of nerve damage in both hands and losing her hearing in both ears, bringing her career to an abrupt end.

After the accident, Su Jinhan promises to take care of Ning Xixue for the rest of her life.

Su Jinhan: "I owe you my life, so I should give myself to you. Why don't we get married while we're at it? No problem, right?"

Ning Xixue: There's a problem, a huge problem! You're repaying kindness with betrayal!

After they marry, everyone says she's a burden, a liability, a useless person Su Jinhan will dump sooner or later.

But Su Jinhan takes meticulous care of her, feeding her, helping her with hand rehabilitation, massaging each finger one by one.

Ning Xixue thinks it's only guilt, and that this patience will run out one day.

One day, Su Jinhan comes home reeking of alcohol after a celebration banquet.

Ning Xixue is reading a gossip item about her.

She asks for a divorce, and Su Jinhan refuses outright.

Su Jinhan pushes her onto the bed without a word, threads her fingers through Ning Xixue's, and laces their hands together.

"You can't move your hands," Su Jinhan murmurs. "But mine aren't just for show."

Su Jinhan has her reasons for the online gossip, but can't explain herself.

She and Ning Xixue never dated! There was no dramatic breakup, only nine years of unrequited love on her part.

She tested Ning Xixue's feelings many times, and finally confirmed that Ning Xixue was a hopelessly straight woman.

She had given up hope for this relationship. But when Ning Xixue rushed to her without hesitation during the car accident, her heart rekindled. She coaxed and tricked Ning Xixue into moving in with her.

Then she accidentally lured her into bed, too.

After one night together, Su Jinhan feels that Ning Xixue might not be straight.

Would a real straight woman welcome her with tearful, reddened eyes? Would she let Su Jinhan do whatever she wanted without any resistance?

So Ning Xixue opens Weibo and discovers that everyone online knows they're married.

Netizens: What happened to that satisfying revenge story we were promised??!

P.S.:

1. A carefree, gentle singer who takes the top role x a highly intelligent, cool, composed court interpreter who takes the bottom role.

2. One-on-one, both sexually pure, each other's first love, happy ending. The bottom's health will improve, the rumors will be cleared up, and all misunderstandings will be resolved.
