In her second year of high school, Lin Yang transferred to Xicheng No. 1 High School.

As soon as she sat down, her deskmate leaned over and whispered, "The guy sitting behind you is Shen Qiufang. Watch yourself, and whatever you do, don't mess with him."

Lin Yang asked, "Why?"

Her deskmate said, "Shen Qiufang is first in the grade. His family has connections, his parents adore him, the teachers spoil him, and he has the school bully backing him up. There's just one thing... he's got a peculiar condition. He doesn't like girls."

Lin Yang thought for a moment, took a piece of candy from her pocket, and put it in Shen Qiufang's textbook.

"Don't worry. One orange hard candy and he'll be cured."

All the boys at Xicheng No. 1 High School knew that Shen Qiufang had a wild private life. He drank, smoked, got into brawls, rode motorcycles, and was obsessed with esports. He had every vice in the book, except dating girls.

Then one day, Lin Yang, the girl next door who wore a pink butterfly hair clip, handed him a piece of candy.

From then on, his world was the sweet-and-sour, bright, clear yellow of orange hard candy.

[Bonus scene]

His friends: Hey, what's Shen Qiufang doing outside the girls' bathroom?

Friend A: What else? He's hiding out to smoke.

Friend B: Then why is he holding a sanitary pad?

His friends all exchanged glances.

Shen Qiufang heard them and flicked his cigarette butt at them. "None of you move. Go make some brown sugar water for my wife, and hurry up!"

His friends looked troubled and called out in unison, "Boss!"

In the end, Shen Qiufang had to run to the supermarket himself to buy supplies.

Blurb for You're Sweeter Than Honey

Blurb 1

Feng Xiaohuai, a honey-making expert, spent every day tending to her few boxes of Chinese honeybees, until Pei Yu came crashing into her life on his mountain bike one day.

Feng Xiaohuai: You, man! You broke my beehive, and all my baby bees flew away.

Pei Yu: You're running an illegal breeding business on my turf, and your bees stung me. And you think you're in the right?

Feng Xiaohuai [frowning]: If you're going to claim that ramshackle house next door is yours, then never mind.

Pei Yu [lost in thought]: Miss Feng, are you inviting me to your stylish loft studio for coffee and some medicinal honey for my bee stings?

Feng Xiaohuai: You're very handsome. Don't let it go to your head.

Blurb 2

No chopsticks with her takeout. Wi-Fi disconnected because the bill wasn't paid. Taxis always refused to pick her up. The power always went out when she clocked in at work. And after a heart-to-heart with her boss, she got fired.

After her streak of bad luck hit a new high, Feng Xiaohuai quit in a fit of anger, inherited the family business, and turned to animal husbandry to make a living.

Through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, she looked forward to every sunny day: the sea of rapeseed flowers in Hejian, the snowy locust blossoms in Ningxia, the purple milk vetch of Tibet, and the abundant flowers beneath the forest canopy.

Pei Yu: You're a spirit running wild, drifting through the seasons. I'm an oasis by the river. If you don't come, how could I ever bloom?

Feng Xiaohuai: So President Pei has fallen for a little honeybee. The mountains are quiet and still. I'd be glad to accompany you through the whole of this world.

A sweet, dedicated, century-old Taobao shopkeeper who raises baby bees X An arrogant, aloof CEO, a wolf type who lights up the moment he's coaxed.
