Among a Hundred Dreams

Lu Qiongjiu has always had a thing for handsome, gentle types. Every one of her exes fit the bill, and none of them lasted more than three months. Her friends call her a textbook "heartbreaker" and have more than once warned her that one day, she'll get what she deserves.

Lu Qiongjiu never took them seriously. Then she fell for another man. He made her believe that people who seemed to have a smile in their eyes even when their lips weren't smiling really existed. She was captivated by the barely-there smile at the corners of his mouth and the tenderness that radiated from deep within him. So she went to great lengths, scheming and plotting until she won him over.

Three months later, on a sunny afternoon, she broke up with the man as he sat on the sofa, gently peeling an apple for her. She watched a crack appear in his usually gentle expression. His eyes turned dark and cold. "What did you say?"

When they met again, he was dressed in a sharp suit, the air around him icy. His cold, sharp black eyes revealed a passion and obsession he showed only when looking at her.

She asked, "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"

The man's burning lips pressed against her pale neck as he murmured, "When there's someone you dream of seeing, of course you have to find them again."

A seemingly gentle but actually obsessive bestselling author + X + a gorgeous, super-heartbreaking romance writer

The heroine really is a heartbreaker, and she's genuinely a perennial old maid.

Both are virgins, happy ending.

A Thousand Affections

Blurb one:

Shen Xingyao was born into a wealthy family as a third-generation heiress and second-generation celebrity, cherished by everyone. Her parents, the Wangxing couple, were untouchable figures in the entertainment industry, raking in every kind of award. Her eldest brother, Su Weichu, was heir to the Su Group, while her third brother, Shen Weiqing, was a top-tier star famous across the country. She grew up surrounded by affection, yet she gave her heart to just one person: Wei Jingyi, the head of the Wei family, who was seven years older than her and had been her big brother's close friend for years.

Before leaving the country, she summoned all her courage to confess to him, only to get a single reply: "Youyou, you're still too young."

After that, Shen Xingyao stopped talking about Wei Jingyi every other sentence.

When she returned home, she plunged into the entertainment industry. Her first role happened to include a kissing scene. Before she could even reach the set, someone blocked her on the way. He pinned her against the passenger seat, his voice husky and tempting. "A child is still a child. Didn't you say you liked Big Brother best?"

Blurb two:

Newcomer Xingyao became an overnight sensation thanks to her hit work, Critique. Her career took off, with luxury endorsements and starring roles in major productions, fashion shows, and covers for all four top magazines. Just months after her debut, she made it onto the list of the four top rising actresses and secured a place in the A-list. She was also seen getting close to plenty of big names in the industry, so the Douban B group even created a new forum just to investigate who her mysterious sponsor was.

That same day, she was photographed having dinner with top-tier star Shen Weiqing just hours earlier. Later, she was spotted getting into a luxury car worth tens of millions and kissing its owner passionately. Her public image crumbled in an instant, and the internet was awash with abuse. Just then, top-tier star Shen Weiqing and Wei Jingyi, the head of the Wei family who was famously indifferent to women, both spoke out.

Shen Weiqing V: Let me clarify. That's my sister and brother-in-law.

Wei Jingyi held a press conference that same night and stared expressionlessly into the cameras. "Two things to clarify. First, the luxury car is mine, and Shen Xingyao is mine. Second, you have ten minutes to delete your Weibo posts and comments and apologize. After ten minutes, we'll begin collecting evidence."

1. Seven-year age gap

2. A fake rekindled romance + a long road to winning her back

3. A business tycoon who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside (very warm) + X + a stunning entertainment-industry actress and designer

4. The heroine is Youyou, the precious daughter of the Wangxing couple from At First Sight
