Fake siblings | Stealing someone’s partner | Second chance after a breakup

Blurb 1

Far away on the horizon, the Kunlun Snow Mountains were just visible.

A man stood with his back to her, naked, as water streamed down over every part of his body.

The setting sun melted like gold across the sky, its light falling over a bed of roses. All around them, brilliant red blazed like a sea of fire, ready to swallow anyone caught within it.

Meng Wanqing took out her phone and snapped a picture.

Blurb 2:

A ewe belonging to the Maimaiti family gave birth to two lambs.

But the mother sheep only nursed one of them, refusing to let the other near and driving it away again and again.

At first, Meng Wanqing couldn’t understand why. Much later, she finally realized.

She never expected that these sheep would be the ones to heal her.

Blurb 3:

When we meet again in five years, you will no longer be drifting willow fluff. I will become the mountains and rivers where you take root.

From friends with benefits to something real | Second chance after a breakup | The man chases his wife into the crematorium

Blurb 1:

Shen Nanjing could never make sense of how she and Shi Cheng ended up in bed after meeting only twice. By every measure, it should have been impossible, and yet it happened.

What she found even harder to understand was how they kept drifting in and out of each other’s lives for five years, like the unending drizzle of June in this city.

“Is it because you’re lonely?” she remembered asking him that very question the first time they were together.

“Not entirely.” The man, still flushed with passion, was unusually gentle, setting aside his usual arrogance. “You’re different from the people here.”

She wanted to ask what made her different, but on a whim, she tried another question.

“Suppose I’m very old by then, and one day we meet again. When you see me, would you dare walk up to me and say, ‘I’ll always know you. Compared to the face you had when you were young, I love your battered face now even more’?”

Shen Nanjing wasn’t a literary type. Perhaps she had simply caught a touch of The Lover’s spell in such an unusual moment.

His answer sounded as if he had been bewitched, too.

Blurb 2:

Shi Cheng was a workaholic who saw efficiency as life itself and hated anyone or anything that wasted his time.

Yet for the woman who was as slow as a snail and always half a step behind everyone else, he was willing to slow down for the first time in his life.

By then, she had already gone all the way to Cambridge to pursue her dream, ending their five-year relationship, which had never been easy to define.

“Doesn’t the saying go that a tangerine only grows true in Huainan? When are you coming back with me?”

This time, she was quick to respond. “Didn’t you say ours was just a Shenzhen-speed relationship?”

For the first time, Shi Cheng experienced what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.

But it didn’t matter. He could wait.

Blurb 3:

Girls who are taught from childhood to be obedient and well behaved are like crickets trapped in a basket. They try to leap out of their tiny space a few times, and when they fail, they give up, deciding they’re just not capable. They don’t realize there’s a lid on top.

Nanjing was one such girl.

Luckily, after a special coming-of-age experience, she finally leapt out and set off for a wider world.

How short life is, like dew at dawn.

In this one life you have, may you not be afraid to admit your ambitions, may you have the courage to lift the lid, and may you bravely live as your true self.
