[Couple: A vicious, rotten-to-the-core celebrity x a gentle, nurturing teacher]
Seven-year age gap / each other's one and only / sweet romance
Blurb 1:
Lin Youxin, a top-tier star in China and the youngest actress ever to win all three major film awards, announced her retirement from the entertainment industry.
People speculated about her reasons for retiring, but no one knew the truth.
Jiang Yao was an ordinary elementary school teacher.
She taught ordinary lessons, kept ordinary hours, and lived an ordinary life.
One day, while out grocery shopping, she found a sweet little stray dog by the roadside and took it home.
The "little stray dog," Lin Youxin, was sweet-talking and hardworking. Every now and then, she showed a fragile, vulnerable side and softly called Jiang Yao "Mom." Jiang Yao's heart practically melted.
Overcome with motherly affection, Teacher Jiang decided to raise this little abandoned dog all over again.
How helpless, frail, and pitiful the little dog was!
Without Jiang Yao, how could the little dog survive in this cruel world?
Blurb 2:
Lin Youxin thought life was boring.
Fame and awards meant nothing. Being hated or loved made no difference. Life itself was unbearably dull.
She had to break something now and then just to feel that she existed.
Jiang Yao was so gentle, so kind, and...
Lin Youxin wanted so badly to break her.
Blurb 3:
Jiang Yao often felt that something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on what.
One day, Jiang Yao got home a little earlier than expected.
Then she saw her innocent, pitiful little Lin Youxin clutching her precious jade bracelet,
doing something shameless and unspeakable.
At the sound of someone at the door, the pitiful little thing slowly looked up.
That familiar face wore an unfamiliar, wicked smile.
"Mom." Lin Youxin tilted her head, her voice full of innocence. "I just missed you so much."

300 Ways to Train a Dog (excerpt):
1. The puppy isn't a good puppy, and Mommy isn't a real mommy. They're just descriptive terms. Mommy sees the puppy through rose-colored glasses. No matter how bad the puppy is, in Mommy's eyes she's just a kid who doesn't know any better.
2. This is a story about love, acceptance, embracing one another, and healing.
