The Nutcracker and the Emerald

The family business is on the verge of collapse, and Shu Li has asked everyone she can think of for help, but gotten nowhere. Someone takes pity on her and quietly points her in the right direction: "The Crown Prince gave the order. No one dares help you." Three years later, Shu Li finally casts aside all her pride and dignity and goes to the man again, begging for help. The man leans against the sofa, casually watching the crimson wine in his glass. Shu Li stands before him until he quietly calls her childhood nickname: "Lili." The next moment, the man reaches out and pinches her chin. His broad palm makes her face look even more porcelain-white. "Look," he says, his eyes swirling with emotions she can't name. His voice is hoarse as he speaks word by word. "You came after all." *Domineering CEO x sweet, soft-spoken beauty and ballet star *Over-the-top, melodramatic plot. Read with caution. *The male lead is stubborn but soft-hearted. He gets humiliated, then chases his wife through hell and back... I guess it's a sweet story? [Completed draft: Secretly Captivated] Immature genius racing driver x precocious, cool-headed top student heroine A new girl transfers to Provincial Experimental High School. Shan Xuan is an excellent student: beautiful, tall, and cool and elegant. Standing there with her graceful bearing, she puts everyone else to shame, even in old clothes. Rumor has it she's a poor distant relative of the Huo family, living with them. On the first day of school, someone sees Young Master Huo slowly following the girl in her school uniform and carrying an old backpack in his flashy bright-yellow sports car. He teases the school beauty in the passenger seat: "Look at that backpack. Even my grandma wouldn't want it." And so everyone knows that Young Master Huo can't stand the pretty, poor transfer student. But no one knows that every bite mark that later appears on the young master's collarbone was left by Shan Xuan, trembling in his arms as she bit him. An elite athlete's body is precious. Whenever Huo Zhou gets a headache or a fever, the team manager worries so much he can't sleep, afraid it will affect his performance in a race. The only person in the world who can bite him so recklessly is her. On the day Huo Zhou wins the FIA Best Rookie Award, countless reporters swarm him to interview the young genius racing driver. The young driver has a silver buzz cut and an earring in his left ear. He looks full of youthful spirit, with a bold, carefree smile. A reporter asks the question the fans are most curious about: "What's your ideal type? Would you date someone who shares your passion for racing?" The young racing driver onstage raises an eyebrow. His wife can't even be bothered to watch him race. How could he dare ask her to like racing? [The title comes from a song.
