At Our First Meeting

Weibo: @Song Jiujin My new novel, *Secret Crush, Public Marriage*, is coming soon Blurb One: Shen Wangjin has been in the industry for five years. With his warm, gentle face and famously easygoing personality, he became one half of the hottest on-screen couple after starring alongside newcomer Su Xingye in *The Art of Power*. Their “Wangxing CP” took the internet by storm. In a later interview, a reporter asked Su Xingye what she thought of Shen Wangjin. Su Xingye smiled faintly at the camera and replied calmly, “Teacher Shen is my senior, and he’s also like an older brother who takes good care of people.” After the interview, Su Xingye came home. Before she could even turn on the light, a strong hand grabbed her and pressed her against the cool wall. She felt his scorching breath and heard his hoarse voice. “Good girl, say it one more time.” After a two-second pause, she smiled and rested her forehead against his. Her red lips parted. “What should I call you?” Blurb Two: Su Xingye had a cool, ethereal aura and was the “fairy big sister” in her fans’ eyes, until one day she suddenly posted on Weibo. Su Xingye S: As a proper career fan of my big brother!! Go, big brother!! The image was a screenshot of a successful purchase, with her Weibo ID displayed in plain sight: I Want to Be Big Brother’s Star Starry Night: Holy crap!! Did Xingbao post from the wrong account?!!!

Weibo: @Song Jiujin Reader’s Guide: 1. Dual points of view 2. A slow burn, proceed with caution. If you’re not into fandom culture, feel free to steer clear. 2. A warm but strong-willed, gentle, highly intelligent young man X a wealthy little heiress with a warm exterior and a solitary heart, who loves dancing *The Ordinary Wonders of Life* Blurb: The news of Su Weichu’s marriage set the business and entertainment worlds ablaze. His bride was Ying Yanluo, the eldest daughter of the Ying family, whose status was nowhere near the Su family’s. Countless heiresses and socialites seethed with envy while waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Everyone knew the marriage between the Su and Ying families was a loveless business arrangement, a union of the powerful and the weak. After the wedding, his friends often saw him wearing his wedding ring and teased him, “You’ll get divorced sooner or later. Why treasure it so much?” Su Weichu would always smile faintly at their jibes, neither admitting nor denying anything. Then, at a party, he got blind drunk and accidentally lost the ring. His friends watched the usually proud young master kneel on the floor, his long-fingered hands searching the ground over and over. In his drunken haze, he kept mumbling, “My ring… Where did my ring go?” The public saw Su Weichu, the business magnate, as a man with a springlike smile and a gentle, refined air. But only Ying Yanluo knew of the madness hidden beneath that gentle face. Especially when passion ran high, he would nuzzle her collarbone and murmur, “Wife, people keep spreading rumors that we’re getting divorced. What should we do?” Reader’s Guide: 1.

With another ten lined up for the next day, Gan Tang was at her wit’s end. She packed her bags in the middle of the night and fled to the home of her friend of fifteen years, Duan Qiyu. Just after midnight, Duan Qiyu had finished work and was about to rest when he got a phone call. A familiar woman’s voice came from the other end. “Come pick me up at the airport. Now.” As soon as they met, Gan Tang poured out all her complaints. Duan Qiyu listened silently as he drove. When Gan Tang had talked herself hoarse, he handed her the bottle of water beside him and spoke. “Gan Tang, would you consider marrying me?” Gan Tang and Duan Qiyu had been friends for fifteen years. Then they got married. Holding their freshly issued marriage certificate, Gan Tang solemnly told the man beside her, “If you change your mind later, just tell me. I promise I won’t cling to you.” Six months later, things had spiraled out of control. Gan Tang’s eyes reddened. “We’re not getting divorced! The only way we’re parting is if one of us dies!” After a long silence, the man suddenly looked up at her. His dark eyes stared straight into hers. Heartbroken, Gan Tang turned her head away, unwilling to meet his gaze. Her voice trembled. “I’ve changed my mind. I won’t get a divorce!” As soon as she finished speaking, he gripped her chin and pulled her into a kiss. His voice was low and hoarse. “I should be the one saying that to you. You’ll get a divorce only over my dead body.” Reader’s Guide: 1. Married first, fall in love later 2. The male lead has a secret crush on the female lead 3.
