Catch Her

Back in high school, Dong Bohan was top of the class, the best athlete, and the most handsome guy at Maoshi High. From his first year onward, he secretly vowed that if Wu Xiaoxiao confessed to him, he'd reject her sternly in front of the whole class; if she dared slip a letter into his backpack, he'd take it straight to their homeroom teacher; and if... But he waited and waited, and not one of those "ifs" ever happened.

Unable to do anything but flirt with him, she finally made him ask, "Why?"

She looked up at him with wide eyes and fluttering long lashes, as if the answer were obvious. "Because we can't date in high school. Our parents would be called in."

Dong Bohan: "You're afraid of that?"

Wu Xiaoxiao: "Yeah. I'm afraid my future mother-in-law won't like me, and I'm afraid my mom won't like you."

Dong Bohan: "..."

After entering the working world, they unexpectedly met again...

Wu Xiaoxiao: The past is like the wind. That's all there is to it.

Dong Bohan: I can't forgive what happened back then. I've finally got you now.

To outsiders, Dong Bohan was too accomplished, too far above everyone else. Only he knew he wasn't good enough for that wonderful girl, the one who made his heart ache. That's why he had to hold on to her and never let go. Without her, all his achievements and glory would mean nothing.

Ongoing: Conquering the Unruly One

Blurb One: At first, in Jiang Wanhui's eyes, Zou Xian was a big boy: sunny, positive, and warmhearted. Then he accidentally played a character completely unlike his own image and temperament, as if he had opened the door to a whole new world. The fans went wild, and so did Jiang Wanhui, his agent. That night, she hid under the covers, biting the blanket and squealing: This new persona is so dominant and scheming, bursting with possessiveness, and has the feel of a domineering CEO who's both good and evil. Who could resist? Ah! My artist has broadened his acting range!

Later, Jiang Wanhui discovered that this so-called new persona was actually Zou Xian's true nature.

Later still, she learned that this wicked, unruly man was also the man who spoiled her more than anyone else in the world.

Zou Xian: Which of us is the wicked one, me or you? Is there anyone more unlucky than me? I wanted to get justice after being bullied, but I never got my revenge. Instead, I got myself tangled up in this mess.

Blurb Two: At first, Zou Xian smugly watched the little woman who had offended him, completely fooled by his tricks. Later, he'd lost his heart and started to panic. How could he confess the truth without making her angry?

The little woman Zou Xian talked about: That man has been acting strange lately. Is this some kind of guilty conscience, and is he about to tell me the truth? Then how am I supposed to take advantage of him? This is bad! Please don't! Will I have to stop pretending to be dumb?

Upcoming: I Don't Want My Husband, He's Out of My League

At a temple, An Zhuo had just learned that her senior, Yan Zhen, was engaged. Kneeling on a cushion, she murmured, "Please, Buddha, bless Senior Yan Zhen and his fiancee with a happy marriage." She paused for two seconds. "No, that doesn't count. Let me make a new wish. I hope Senior Yan will come to love me the way I love him, and that I'm the one he marries in the end."

Just then, her phone rang. An Zhuo answered, and Yan Zhen's voice came through: "The wedding is on the eighth of next month. I'll marry you. Will you marry me?"

The phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor...

When An Zhuo left the temple that day, she bowed reverently. "Thank you, Buddha. Once my wish comes true, I'll have you gilded anew."

Two years later, as An Zhuo walked out of the Yan family home with her suitcase, she thought: You can't fool Buddha. I guess this is karma. The stand-in bride has finally asked to leave.

Blurb Two:

Three months into the marriage, after a disagreement, Yan Zhen threw An Zhuo out. She stood outside for two hours before he let her back in.

Six months into the marriage, after an argument, Yan Zhen threw An Zhuo out again. She went back to her parents' home, then sheepishly returned three days later.

A year into the marriage, after a fight, An Zhuo left of her own accord and went back to her parents' home. Her mother packed her up and sent her back.

A year and a half into the marriage, An Zhuo stormed out in anger, and Yan Zhen brought her back.

Two years into the marriage, An Zhuo calmly packed her belongings, took the little suitcase she'd arrived with, and left the Yan family home... This time, Yan Zhen could never bring her back.

The male lead is a genuine jerk and a real delinquent at first. In the middle and later parts of the story, the female lead puts him through the wringer until he realizes his feelings and turns into a devoted puppy chasing after his wife.
