Synopsis
The entire novel is already written, so you can read without worrying about updates~ Innocent, resilient good girl × devoted, possessive man in power Ambitious and hardworking × hopeless romantic Teary little bunny × obsessive, insatiable big bad wolf The hero has been plotting for a long time | Marriage of convenience | He pursues her after marriage | Intense push and pull | Size difference - Yan Yu, the hot new head of the Yan family in Jiangcheng. In public, he is the picture of elegance. When his phoenix eyes are smiling, he seems gentle and affectionate; when he lowers his brows, he appears aloof and untouchable. Yet he never gets involved with women, making him someone people can admire from afar but never approach. Guan Zhilan, the eldest daughter of the Guan family, was once the unattainable dream girl all the young masters of prominent families longed for. But now, with the Guan family in decline, the former heiress has become someone everyone in their circle avoids overnight. The two are worlds apart. No one would ever have imagined them together. Then their engagement was announced, leaving everyone stunned. The fallen heiress had become the dazzling Mrs. Yan. - Everyone waited for her to become a laughingstock. But all they saw was Yan Yu shielding her from drinks at banquets, spending lavishly just to make her smile, and treating her with such tenderness and care that everyone envied her. Everyone said Guan Zhilan was lucky. Only she knew that their relationship had begun with one reckless night and was held together by a cold, impersonal agreement. She played along with his act, and he paid off her debts. They each got what they wanted. Guan Zhilan knew that everything he did in public was just part of his performance as her “perfect husband.” But when they were alone, he still bent down to kiss the blisters her heels had rubbed raw and carefully applied medicine to them. When she worked late into the night, he canceled his plans and drove out to pick her up, simply because he had sensed something was wrong in her voice on the phone. Later, caught up in a haze of passion, she finally couldn’t stop herself from crying in his arms. He held her trembling waist, bent down to kiss away her confusion and brokenness, and murmured against her ear in a hoarse voice: “Guan Zhilan, after everything I’ve done, do you still think I’m pretending?” She said nothing. Her tears fell even harder, as if she were made of water. He sighed and pulled her closer, claiming her more deeply. “Fine, then we won’t talk.” “I’ll show you.” - What you thought was love at first sight was the careful scheme I rehearsed over and over throughout half my life. Loving you is the greatest wish of my life. Next up, I’m writing this one, My Darling Little Nightingale~ Flirtatious, airheaded little fox × old-fashioned gentlemanly daddy big bad wolf Gifted singer × powerful big shot The old house catches fire | Love after marriage | Ten-year age gap | He has a secret crush | A touch of showbiz - The world-famous Jiang family spared no effort in searching for their biological daughter. They offered countless rewards over more than a decade, but never found a trace of her. On the twentieth birthday of Jin Youning, the truth about her being the Jin family’s fake heiress came to light. The real heiress linked arms with her boyfriend, Fang Zhenming. “I’m the one who belongs in the Fang family. You’re only fit to marry an old man.” She dragged her suitcase out into the pouring rain. She was freezing, and her makeup had run completely. A Maybach stopped in front of her, and a man got out with an umbrella. As he lowered it, the scent of a man mingled with the cold rain and swept over her. He leaned down to wipe the tears from her face. His fingertips were scorching, his voice low and magnetic. “Get in.” She looked up, her vision blurred by the rain. All she could make out was the open collar of his white shirt as he bent toward her, and the curve of his throat moving as he swallowed. - Then one earth-shattering piece of news set the internet ablaze. The Jiang family had found their biological daughter. A global livestream. A reunion ceremony of the century, so grand it looked like a coronation. The Jin family sat below the stage and watched the “fake” they had driven out step onto it, one step at a time. The head of the Jiang family personally fastened to her the family crest passed down for a hundred years. Everyone was dumbfounded. But the biggest shock was yet to come. To the astonishment of the world, the host announced: “The Jiang family’s heiress, Jiang Youning, is engaged to Si Quan, head of the Si family.” The camera turned. The man who had held an umbrella for her that rainy night walked onto the stage and stood beside her. In front of the whole world, he slowly slid an engagement ring onto her ring finger. - Twenty-year-old Jiang Youning somehow ended up marrying a “middle-aged man” of thirty. After their wedding, people said he had no interest in women, and the two of them slept in separate rooms. Jiang Youning had heard that a man over twenty-five was already sixty, and she firmly believed it. Otherwise, why would he treat her like a porcelain doll, barely glance up when her skirt was short enough to show her thighs, and do nothing but tell her to get dressed and tuck herself in? He was old and past his prime, while she was young and beautiful. She wasn’t about to spend her life alone guarding an antique! That was what she thought, until the night she went out looking for a fling and crept through the door, only for a shadow to appear behind her. He scooped her up with one arm and pinned her against the wall. Water ran down his abs and disappeared beneath his towel. “I thought you were too young. I was afraid I’d hurt you...” Jiang Youning’s eyes widened. She whimpered softly as he gripped her waist and lifted her, his hot, damp body pressed tight against hers. “Looks like this little fox thinks I’ve been starving her.” - Jiang Youning ran away in the tenth month after marrying into the Si family. She claimed, with great dignity, that she hadn’t seen enough of the world yet and wanted to go out and enjoy herself! She would never admit that after her crazy husband got a taste for it, she simply couldn’t take it anymore. She enjoyed a few months of freedom abroad, until one day she got drunk and caught the eye of someone with bad intentions. Completely oblivious, she even leaned dizzily against him. The next second, a familiar, dangerous presence drew close, and someone lifted her up with one hand. Seeing her flushed cheeks and unfocused eyes as she rubbed against him, he laughed in anger. “If I hadn’t shown up, who were you planning to let touch you tonight?” Jiang Youning gave a muffled whimper. Before she could sober up, he swept her into his arms. He looked down at her flushed face, his voice amused yet cold enough to cut to the bone. “We’ll settle this when we get back.” “This time, crying won’t help you.” Theme: Love is an eternal faith 2":"My newbie village is the Land of Water. And then my transmigration turned into an utterly ordinary story about two cannon fodder characters. A short, dark story Me × a certain Mist Ninja Cannon fodder × cannon fodder No characters from the original manga appear Theme: ...","3":"At the stairwell landing, a few boys stood in a circle, laughing and teasing someone. The one in the middle leaned against the railing, his school uniform jacket hanging loosely over his shoulders. “So, do you like her or not?” The boy in question lifted his eyes and lazily looked around at his friends, who were egging him on. He spun an uncapped pen in his hand and answered offhandedly, “I don’t.” Shu Tao had barged in by mistake and was just about to quietly back away when he suddenly turned his head. He stared right at her, a faint smile playing on his lips, and drawled in a slow, lazy voice: “Well, have you finished eavesdropping?” - When Shu Tao found out that Xu Jianye wouldn’t be coming back to school, she summoned every bit of courage she had to write him two lines of encouragement and pass them along in the crowd. Just keep moving forward. From now on, may the road ahead be smooth and the weather fair all the way. She left off her name. She truly only wanted him to be well. - Their reunion came without warning. Steam from the oden fogged the glass window. Outside, the night was wet with rain. Shu Tao lowered her head and bit into a fish ball, then heard the door open. She glanced up without thinking. The man who walked in was tall and slender, raindrops scattered across the shoulders of his black coat. The face beneath them was still impossibly pale. So many years had passed, yet the clean, sharp edge he’d had as a boy seemed as untouched by dust as if the rain had washed it clean. A moment later, Xu Jianye smiled at her, the beauty mark beneath his eye damp with rain. Just like the first time they met. - I want to return to those moments I once tried so hard to hold on to, to take the step I never had the courage to take and later regretted, to throw caution to the wind, to feel, to laugh. /I didn’t have time to thank you for giving me courage /For letting me be myself again From the song “Little Happiness” A secret crush comes true | A young girl’s heart | School days to city life | Bittersweet One-sided love → mutual pining Gentle and sensitive heroine × roguishly handsome, tender hero “Reader’s Guide” 1.

When she heard the terrible news, Cen Wan was devastated and fainted on the spot. Everyone around her thought she loved Shang Yan deeply. Her future in-laws were afraid she might do something rash when she woke, so they persuaded Shang Yao, who had just returned from the United States. “You and your younger brother are twins. She won’t realize we switched you. We’ll just say the hospital made a mistake.” The head of the Shang family, a cold and heartless man who cared about nothing but work, looked at the pale figure in the hospital bed. “All right.” After Cen Wan woke up, she realized her fiancé was acting strange. He used to love racing cars and motorcycles. Now, whenever he went out, he had a driver and a Rolls-Royce. He used to love extreme sports and chasing every thrill. Now he kept a regular routine and spent his free time at home with her. The most intimate thing they used to do was put an arm around each other’s shoulders for a photo. Now he insisted on holding her every night as they slept, with his leg wrapped around her too. There were too many examples for Cen Wan to count. She asked him with concern, “Could these be aftereffects of the accident? Could it have changed your personality?” Shang Yao: “Mm.” After spending a few months inseparable, they naturally began making preparations to marry. On the wedding day, Shang Yan, who was supposed to be dead, came back. Shang Yan, back from the dead, went berserk on the spot and accused Shang Yao of taking advantage of the situation to steal his girl. Shang Yao held Cen Wan protectively in his arms and looked up coolly. “Whoever wins her over gets to keep her.” #Why are you making such a fuss? Didn’t I just get off your sister-in-law?# #Sister-in-law, open up. It’s me, your brother-in-law.# #I’d crawl through a dog door if I had to. Not only would I crawl through fast, I’d bite the other dogs to death.# Theme: Stealing someone’s girl 5":"Knight-in-shining-armor-syndrome, shrewd merchant heroine × scheming actor hero Xiang Yanzhi recently met the sort of extraordinary woman you read about in storybooks. Miss Yu of the Marquis Yu household. She had all the treasures sent by the powerful, disfigured regent thrown out. Xiang Yanzhi rubbed her hands together over the pit where four chests of gold and silver lay buried. “If she doesn’t want them, I’ll take them all.” “I’m someone she doesn’t want, too. Will you take me?” A man’s head suddenly popped out of the bushes in the distance. His clothes were in tatters and half his face was smeared with mud, but he still had an air of nobility. Xiang Yanzhi: ...Who are you, handsome? The nobleman, whose origins were a mystery, kept calling her “big sister.” In the end, Xiang Yanzhi took him home. Song Yan worked without eating and kept at his job without sleeping. Having grown up alone and helpless, Xiang Yanzhi had fought her way through the chaos of the times with her own two hands. She admired that quality most of all. Xiang Yanzhi was honest with Song Yan. “Actually, I had another reason for bringing you home. You look like you have foreign blood and can speak the barbarian tongue. I need you to work for a trading caravan.” Song Yan seemed to have known all along. Still wearing his usual smile, he said, “It’s my honor to be of use to you, Yanzhi.” Xiang Yanzhi’s heart softened, and she chose to keep Song Yan by her side. But one day, Song Yan suddenly said goodbye to her and vanished without a trace. When they met again, he had become a powerful general and was already engaged. Song Yan’s fiancée came to Xiang Yanzhi, having heard of her reputation, to ask her to forge a jade pendant. Her family had fallen into decline. To make Xiang Yanzhi take the job seriously, she invoked Song Yan’s name as a guarantee. But a few casual remarks left Xiang Yanzhi feeling as if she’d fallen into an icy abyss. “Don’t let his icy manner toward strangers fool you. I took A-Yan in when he was nine, and we’ve been close since we were little. He’s actually very well-behaved, and he’s always been so sweet-tongued. He used to call me Big Sister when he was a child. But we’re about to get married.” When Xiang Yanzhi saw the jade pendant she was being asked to forge, she could only feel that life was full of unexpected twists and turns. She took out the pendant she had never once been without. It was the only thing that could prove who she was. It was identical to the one the fiancée wanted. She held the pendant up for everyone to see. “Ten thousand taels.” Everyone jumped to their feet, glaring at Xiang Yanzhi with contempt for taking advantage of the situation. Xiang Yanzhi put the pendant away. Her eyes returned to their usual casual indifference, and her voice was as lazy as if she were shrugging off something unimportant. “This one is real.” Xiang Yanzhi used to smile whenever she saw treasure or Song Yan. But when Song Yan hurried over, all he saw was an aloof Xiang Yanzhi. She was polite and courteous, her even voice falling into Song Yan’s ears. “Young Master Song, please settle the bill.” Theme: Be sincere 6":"Darlings, please add this to your collection for me~ Angsty romance | Top-tier push and pull | The chase after the breakup At first: aloof top student × beautiful school flower and notorious flirt Later: suit-wearing brute, possessive and obsessive big shot × flirtatious beauty, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted ambitious woman Blurb: How should I describe Xu You'en’s madness? Maybe the way she held a shard of glass to her own throat to scare someone. How should I describe Tan Yuli’s madness? Maybe the way he stopped at nothing to get Xu You'en, the woman who had deceived him. Tan Yuli of Class 1, Grade 11 at Nanshan Middle School was handsome, rich, and a brilliant student. Xu You'en took a liking to him. And so they became more than friends, but less than lovers. In the sweltering heat, a standing fan whirred in the Xianhe convenience store. Xu You'en teased him, “You’re so small?” On a dark autumn night, they sat at a wooden table on wooden chairs, eating instant noodles that had gone soft. On a bustling street, Tan Yuli drove Xu You'en around in his sports car. At a dim stairwell, Tan Yuli rested his head on Xu You'en’s shoulder and kissed her when she wasn’t paying attention. Xu You'en wanted to enter show business, so Tan Yuli made her a hugely popular star. Her giant posters appeared everywhere in public, and she spent several months on the giant naked-eye 3D screen downtown, which cost sixty thousand a minute. Xu You'en was beautiful and bold, with nothing anyone could criticize. Like a mandrake flower, she hid deadly poison beneath her beautiful exterior. Netizens called her a rising star. But her star soon began to fall. * August in the capital was rainy, damp, and hot. Amid the traffic, Xu You'en stood by the road smoking and waiting for a cab. After all these years, her life was still a mess, and she was sinking deeper into the mire. Then a black car pulled up. The window rolled down, revealing a familiar face. The man looked at her with a fierce, hateful gaze. Xu You'en realized: he was back. One night, Tan Yuli pinned Xu You'en against the wall and gripped her cheeks, speaking slowly and emphatically. “Did you think it was fun, treating me like a dog back then?” Xu You'en tugged at the corner of her mouth. “What, are you going to get revenge on me?” Tan Yuli sneered. “You’re already this miserable. What would I need to take revenge for?” “Xu You'en, you trample on other people’s sincere feelings. You’ll never get what you want.” Later, Xu You'en learned what it meant to “never get what you want.” The thing Xu You'en regretted most in her life was getting involved with this man, wild and vicious to the core. He was good at acting and even better at psychological control. He could make sure you would never be able to leave him. He was always pretending to be devoted. “You'en, if you want to leave, then take me with you.” The truth was, they were alike: cruel, vile, and morally bankrupt, fond of playing with people as if they were in the palm of their hands, only to pass judgment from on high at the end: “I win.” My misfortune is that I love you more fiercely than I love life The Red and the Black [Reader’s Guide] * Completely fictional. Don’t compare it to real life!!!! Don’t compare it to real life!!!! * Two lunatics get together. If you’re okay with that, come on in. Both leads have painful family backgrounds. The timeline runs from school days to city life. * Both leads are each other’s first and only, happy ending. * It’s real hatred and real love. Hatred lasts longer than love, but there’s a little more love than hate. * The leads aren’t perfect. They both have flaws! * They both suffer, so don’t call it abuse of the heroine or abuse of the hero. * There will be a little bit of showbiz plot, but very little. * This is a story written for my own tastes. Please don’t send unsolicited writing advice. * I’m terrible at writing blurbs, but the story itself is great! Theme: Live well, and make the most of life
