[One] Word had it that financial tycoon Song Sinian was cold, distinguished, and uninterested in women. But Ruan Lingyi refused to believe it and was determined to run headlong into that wall. When Ruan Lingyi started pursuing Song Sinian, everyone said a sheltered girl like her would end up crying and running away sooner or later. Sure enough, before long, the little shadow that used to follow Song Sinian was gone. Then one day, at a gathering with friends, someone spotted the girl sitting among a group of young, handsome men her own age. They watched in disbelief as Song Sinian, usually so calm and self-controlled, strode into the crowd, led the girl over to the wall, and, though clearly angry, still couldn’t bring himself to raise his voice. “What, you got what you wanted and now you don’t appreciate it?” [Two] Someone heard that Ruan Lingyi had married a man six years older than her. They thought it was unfair to her. “Three years makes a generation gap. You two have a six-year gap, and when men get older, their sex lives can get a little out of sync.” Ruan Lingyi wasn’t bothered. “The main thing is, I didn’t have to sign a prenup to marry him.” “Once I marry him, I get half of the thirty-six properties, hundreds of luxury cars, and all the stock options under his name, not to mention half of his 9,800 mu of pastureland.” That night, Song Sinian, who’d accidentally overheard her, pinned her against the wall. “Did you marry me just to get half my assets?” “Yep.” Ruan Lingyi’s lacquer-red index finger came to rest on his left chest. “I want half your heart, too.” Half my heart? You’ve been my heart and soul for ages. *Next up: Devoted to You, a mutual-pining romance.

He was a dazzling genius, a gentle gentleman yet distant and aloof, a high mountain flower, the unattainable dream of her girlhood. Yes, Yan Qiao had a crush on Zhou Yanxi. She didn’t know when it had begun. She only knew that on that rainy night, when she saw him holding an umbrella for another girl, she learned jealousy before she even knew what love was. [Two] Yan Qiao had always thought herself both lucky and unlucky. She was lucky that she and Zhou Yanxi were neighbors and had known each other since the day she was born. She was unlucky because there was a gulf of time between them she could never cross. She looked up to him and longed to get closer, but all she could do was listen as he casually introduced her to others: “Qiaoqiao, my little sister.” She’d seen him reject one girl after another without mercy, so she could only bury her own feelings deep inside. Yan Qiao played this one-sided love song for a long time. Until one day, people gathered around her to confess their feelings. As everyone cheered them on, she grew flustered and afraid. She didn’t know when Zhou Yanxi had appeared among them. She looked to him for help, and he gave her the familiar embrace she knew so well. “Sorry, she’s shy,” she heard him say. “But with me here, I don’t think she’ll want to hug anyone else.” [Who doesn’t love the sun?
