"A sharp-tongued, secretly soft girl x a loyal puppy who's only pretending to be cheerful"

★ Rivals to lovers | Mutual healing | Secret crush | Happy ending

"Everyone loves the sun, but not everyone can become the sun."

In high school, Xiang Tingwen was proud and sensitive. She seemed like a carefree little sun, but in truth, she had walled herself off behind a low barrier, clumsily showing both tenderness and hostility to anyone who tried to get close.

Then she happened to meet Shu Jingnan. He was flamboyant, dazzling, radiant, and openhearted. Being around him always made her feel a little inferior.

The facade Xiang Tingwen had worn for so long crumbled completely, turning into sharp thorns.

She thought she might hate Shu Jingnan.

In the end, they became sworn enemies, like opposite ends of a seesaw: when one sank, the other was left suspended in the air. They should have stayed out of each other's lives forever.

Until one day, as they passed each other, Shu Jingnan grabbed her wrist. His eyes were slightly red as he asked, "Xiang Tingwen, could we try being friends?"

Xiang Tingwen thought he was crazy. After getting to know him better, she felt she was going crazy too.

We're the same kind of person.

We always have been.

*

The first time Shu Jingnan met Xiang Tingwen was on an ordinary afternoon, just after the rain had cleared. He happened to pass by while she was playing around with her friends, and somehow got caught in the crossfire.

Her friend pointed at him and said to Xiang Tingwen, "See that one, the tallest? I'll give him to you as your boyfriend. No need to thank me."

Xiang Tingwen & Shu Jingnan: ? Why are you playing matchmaker out of nowhere?

Years later, when they brought up the past, Shu Jingnan pinned her against the wall. Gazing at Xiang Tingwen with tender eyes, he kissed her face reverently and whispered, "I wasn't playing matchmaker. It was fate. So, how about I become your boyfriend?"

-What's on the far side of the sun?

-It's me. It always will be.

How to Escape the Skyscraper

Brain-teasing instances, an ensemble infinite-flow story

A sweet-faced schemer x a schemer with a sweet face | Long-haired, straight-haired beauty x cold-faced, beautiful, strong but tragic man | Big-sister-and-puppy romance

From childhood onward, Xu Yangchu was always the most unremarkable sort of person: disciplined, well-behaved, and living the same orderly routine day after day. Then one day, an accident dragged her into a bizarre skyscraper and forced her to start playing its instance games.

A young girl welcomed them with a smile, clutching the remains of the players who came before.

[Welcome to Xiao He's home. Xiao He's doll is missing. Can you help me find it?]

Completely bewildered by the sight before her, Xu Yangchu immediately tried to cling to whoever she could. "Big brother, big sister, save me!"

Maybe her shamelessness paid off, or maybe the Goddess of Fortune took pity on her for once. Xu Yangchu scrambled out of the first instance and even picked up an NPC skill along the way.

Xu Yangchu realized that the door to a new world had opened before her. The baffling floors concealed deadly temptations, while the creaking elevator continued to carry people whose fate was unknown, delivering them into the bottomless skyscraper one after another.

Bloodthirsty, icy light spread through the depths of a dilapidated mansion;

The pupil-less villagers stretched out pale hands, mouths wide as they cried out in anguish;

In the abandoned shopping mall from her childhood memories, children's laughter echoed all around...

She lowered her eyes to the scene before her. Her gaze was dark, but she didn't resist. Before long, Xu Yangchu became the most dazzling player in the building through means no one could have anticipated.

At last, the truth about the building began to emerge. Just as Xu Yangchu was about to flee, she suddenly realized that, compared to it, her abilities were as insignificant as an ant.

When all hope seemed lost, a dirty hand unexpectedly clutched at her trouser leg. She looked down and saw a pair of dark eyes beneath a tangle of long hair.

-

He opened his eyes. The first thing he saw in this world was a pair of cold eyes.

She said nothing. She simply bent down and gently offered him a warm hand.

-I need a loyal servant.

-I will never betray you.

He followed her with a devotion that would cost him his life, unafraid even when faced with a mountain of blades or a sea of fire.

Even when her hand closed around his throat and he was close to suffocating, he could only struggle to bow his head, trying to kiss the only god he had.

"Everything I have belongs to you. I love you."

[Reading Guide]

The length of each instance depends on its backstory.

A growth-oriented heroine with no saintly streak, skilled at playing the fool to fool her enemies. She's rather weak at first, but keeps working to grow stronger. The male lead isn't just a backdrop and appears early on. I'll reveal his name after he makes his entrance. They're both a little unhinged ❤️‍🔥

Very little reliance on a golden finger. The instances can be cleared using the wit and abilities of an ordinary person.

One-on-one romance, both sexually inexperienced and devoted only to each other. The plot takes center stage, so there won't be much romance, but what's there will be intense!!! Trust me!

Theme: Love and hate share the same source; what we love and loathe arise from the same cause.
