--Synopsis--

"Mutual pining / 1v1, both virgins / simmering tension / heroine isn't a pushover / hero actively pursues love"

"Design Department Manager vs. CEO, His White Moonlight"

Xu Yanchu has a secret.

In high school, she had a white moonlight named Ji Yun, a handsome, gifted prodigy who excelled at everything and was the center of attention.

He was also someone she admired from afar, never daring to approach.

By the time she graduated, she still hadn't managed to make him remember her.

--

Later, she moved to a city far from home and lived a quiet, orderly life.

Then one day, Ji Yun arrived out of the blue as her boss, tossing a pebble into her calm, placid life and sending ripples spreading in every direction.

Later still, she discovered that Ji Yun held himself to high standards, was meticulous about his work, and was a workaholic. He not only worked overtime every day, but also attended business banquets on weekends...

There wouldn't have been anything to complain about if he hadn't brought her along when he worked late or attended those banquets.

A year went by like that.

Her heart, which used to race whenever she saw Ji Yun, was now worn out from the drudgery of working life.

At last, on yet another night when he kept her working late, she handed in her resignation.

#A White Moonlight Is Precious, But Life Is More Precious#

She didn't want her whole life to be nothing but work.

--

Ji Yun had once liked a girl when he was young. When he learned she had joined one of his family's subsidiaries, he hurried to transfer there himself.

A year of spending every day together made them closer and more in sync.

Just as he was about to confess, she beat him to it and submitted her resignation.

Ji Yun was utterly confused and refused to approve it.

A friend wasn't impressed when he heard: "You make her work overtime every day. How is she supposed to know you like her?"

Ji Yun: "I don't make her work overtime. When I first transferred over, I kept running into her working late, so I thought she liked it."

Friend: "...What normal person likes working overtime?"

Ji Yun: "But I paid her ten times the overtime rate, gave her bonuses several times over, covered all three meals, and even offered to take her home after work."

Friend: "You could have taken her out to eat or driven her home on the weekend. Instead, you dragged her to business banquets."

Ji Yun: "I wanted to broaden her network and introduce her to important people from all kinds of industries."

Friend: "So now she's financially independent, has a network of contacts, and is planning to quit and start her own business."

Ji Yun: "…"

The heroine's perspective: Her white-moonlight filter lies shattered on the floor.

The hero's perspective: I'm so capable and impressive. She must be head over heels for me.

Cold-Faced Boss Steals His Subordinate's Girlfriend

Stealing someone's girlfriend / size difference / office romance / older man / dark, possessive desire

Gentle, beautiful secretary vs. cold-faced conglomerate CEO

The night Xu Yue discovered her boyfriend was cheating was a night she had to work late.

The office was dim. In the break room nearby, two people kissed without restraint, their entwined bodies making her feel sick.

She composed herself and pulled out her phone to record them.

After recording and saving the evidence, she turned away from the cheating pair and started to leave.

She nearly walked straight into a broad, solid chest.

Looking up, she realized the person standing there was the company's owner, He Yuzhou.

He Yuzhou's expression was cool. He glanced at the two still clinging to each other in the break room, then lowered his eyes to Xu Yue, whose face was tense.

"You're just going to stand there and watch? Why not go slap him?"

Xu Yue was irritated. "Mr. He, this is my private business. It has nothing to do with you."

"Of course it has something to do with me." He moved closer, his presence growing more intense.

He bent down to her ear, his words seductive. "Break up with him, then choose me. I'll never betray you."

--

The year He Yuzhou turned twenty-nine, his family began pressuring him to get married, and he couldn't take it anymore.

As he thought about it, Xu Yue came to mind.

She had been his secretary for three years and knew all his habits and quirks. She would be the perfect person to marry.

He wanted to marry her. He only wanted to marry her.

But...

Before He Yuzhou could tell her how he felt, her relationship was revealed.

They'd been dating for a year, met each other's families, and were preparing to get married.

He knew Xu Yue's boyfriend. He was a manager in the Business Department's First Team and had worked under He Yuzhou for five years.

Ordinary looks, average ability, utterly mediocre.

But no matter how he looked at it,

Xu Yue now had a boyfriend she was planning to marry, so He Yuzhou's own hopes of marrying her couldn't come true.

That was what he thought, until he spent that night tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He was slow to realize his own feelings, but once he did, he was determined to make them his.

Fortunately, fate was kind to him.

Just as his plan to steal her away was taking shape, he discovered that her boyfriend had cheated on her.

"I walked through the drizzle, and when I saw you, I realized I was soaked through."

The Nightingale Won't Be Still

Contract relationship / rekindled love / heroine runs away and gets caught / six-year age gap

Gentle vs. sinister / heiress vs. head of a conglomerate

The year Song Zhining turned twenty, she got a boyfriend: Yu Huai, the untouchable head of the Yu family.

Their relationship was secret and had an expiration date. No outsider knew about it.

One was an excellent student at Haida University, well-behaved and accomplished. The other was a ruthless financial magnate who dominated the business world.

Though they seemed to have nothing in common, they spent their nights entwined in a fierce embrace.

They lay together, neck to neck, yet each kept their own thoughts to themselves.

Song Zhining accepted this relationship to escape her family of origin.

She never asked why Yu Huai had agreed to it, and she didn't care in the slightest.

--

Later, Song Zhining found her biological parents and discovered she was the only daughter of the Song family in the capital.

Thinking back on the muddy mess her life had been, she felt deeply wronged. She shouldn't have had to live that way.

So,

when her agreement with Yu Huai expired, she broke up with him at once and returned to the Song family, ready to embrace a new life.

But she never expected

her family to arrange a marriage alliance for her.

The moment she saw the man they'd chosen, she realized that the dark-faced man before her looked more and more like her ex!

--

After they married,

Song Zhining planned to be a couple in name only with Yu Huai, united by a business alliance.

But how could a man who'd gone without her for half a year let her have her way? Every day, he found new ways to leave her utterly exhausted.

He pinned her against the headboard, ignoring her reddened eyes and dazed mind.

His kisses were even more forceful than before, as if he meant to pour all his longing and resentment into her.

"Ningning, you said I was the one you loved most. How could you leave me so heartlessly?"

"Ningning, this time it's official. You can't run away."

"Ningning..."
