[Main story complete. Coming soon: I Insist You Love Me]
Zhou Yuan runs a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in her hometown. It opens at ten in the morning and closes at four in the afternoon. Business is good, and the neighbors all come to her whenever they have a headache, a fever, or some other minor ailment.
On weekends, a little girl appears in the clinic, playing nearby. One moment she sneaks bites of the medicinal herbs, the next she’s cheering up a patient, and then she’s curled up on the bamboo mat, fast asleep with her little doll in her arms.
Someone who doesn’t know better asks, “Is this little girl Doctor Zhou’s?”
A neighbor lowers their voice. “That’s right. Doctor Zhou’s raised Xiaochan all by herself these past few years. Nobody even knows who the child’s father is!”
--
Then one day, an important figure arrived in the little county town: a powerful, wealthy boss from some big group in Beicheng, with an imposing air about him.
When Jiang Tinglan came to the clinic, Zhou Yuan was out, and Xiaochan was minding the place.
She sat upright, imitating her mother’s serious manner, and asked in her childish voice, “Hello! Where does it hurt?”
Jiang Tinglan looked at the girl, who didn’t look much like him, and smiled faintly. “What’s your name?”
“Zhou Xiaochan. It’s the cicada that goes chirp, chirp, not the ‘greedy’ in greedy.”
“Where’s your dad?”
“My dad died!”
#A second-chance romance and child-rearing slice of life, light and heartwarming
#Xiaochan is her nickname

Synopsis:
Wen Yue was born into one of Beicheng’s most prominent families. Her parents adored her, and her two older brothers treated her like a treasure. The daughters of wealthy families flocked around her wherever she went. Everyone in Beicheng knew her as the darling of the heavens.
One day, while dining with a friend, Wen Yue overheard people at the next table talking:
“This Miss Wen is so spoiled. I heard she spent fifty million at a single mall in Hong Kong the other day. Good grief, who’d dare marry her? Xiulang, would you?”
A cool male voice answered, “I wouldn’t marry her.”
“Really? The Wen family’s wealth is practically beyond measure, and I heard Wen Yue’s pretty, too.”
“I wouldn’t marry her.”
Firm refusal, outright dislike.
Her friends fell silent.
The eldest Miss of the Wen family, who had never been rejected before, darkened her expression.
--
The Zhong family was a distinguished clan with a long scholarly tradition, and Zhong Xiulang, the only grandson of Old Master Zhong, had become a professor at A University at a young age. He was disciplined, courteous, and as refined as an orchid or jade tree.
But after being forced to marry the younger daughter of the Wen family, he was often sullen.
He disliked Wen Yue’s extravagant ways. She bought jewelry as casually as candy, and her spoiled nature got her into trouble everywhere.
He disliked her coquettish voice and her boldness even more. When she wanted sex, she said so outright.
One night, after she again stayed out until dawn, he reluctantly went to a bar to find her.
She was dead drunk, surrounded by men he didn’t know.
The girl glared at him, her cheeks flushed. “Zhong Xiulang, I want a divorce!”
Zhong Xiulang felt a sudden rush of relief. He tugged her fallen shoulder strap back into place. “Fine.”
--
After the divorce, the little princess continued to live as she pleased. She arrived just in time for his classes, slept through the lectures, then smiled sweetly at the boys who gathered around her afterward.
Zhong Xiulang could no longer put up with it. After class, he kept her behind alone. “Wen Yue, you should pay more attention in class.”
The girl tried to wrench herself free. “What right do you have to tell me what to do? We’re divorced!”
Zhong Xiulang realized he had crossed a line and let go. But soon he took hold of her again, his voice carrying an unfamiliar note he hadn’t noticed himself. He spoke with restraint. “Even if we’re divorced, I’m still your ex-husband.”
--
#A female-led version of an obsessive, possessive romance, with a mild groveling arc later on.
#They are not in a teacher-student relationship.
