It's Not Like I Miss You

Blurb One

Newly crowned Best Actress Bai Yu is exposed as having been a delinquent in high school: she fought, smoked, bullied classmates, and even had a teenage romance.

Her lawyer issues a statement saying the people spreading rumors will be held legally responsible.

There are countless rumors, but one is true: everyone at school knew Bai Yu and Xiao Muhe were dating back then. Even their strict teachers offered their blessings. Sadly, the two broke up.

Seven years later, they meet again. Xiao Muhe corners Bai Yu in the elevator, his reddened eyes seeming to churn with a raging storm. “After all these years apart, did you really never think of me?”

Bai Yu looks at him calmly. “That's right. If it weren't for that exposé, I wouldn't have remembered you at all.”

Blurb Two

The day after attending a banquet, the assistant takes the dress borrowed from a brand back to return it, only to find that the neckline has been torn to shreds!

He takes the dress to Bai Yu. “Sis, what happened here?”

Thinking of how impatient someone had been the night before, Bai Yu feigns composure. “I've put on weight lately. I wasn't careful when taking it off.”

The assistant is thrilled. “Could you be pregnant? Lawyer Xiao is amazing!”

Bai Yu: “...Get lost!”

That day, Xiao Muhe receives a transaction alert.

Bai Yu: “You tore my dress. Pay me back.”

Xiao Muhe: “I will!”

Then another transfer notification arrives.

Bai Yu: “Hush money.”

Xiao Muhe: “...”

The assistant is ecstatic. “Thanks, Sis! Thanks, Brother-in-law!”

A Best Actress who can be both sweet and fierce × a lawyer who's cool on the outside and shameless underneath; a second-chance romance

Coming Soon: You Know, I Like You

Fourteen-year-old Gu Youran is caught smoking for the first time by Wen Xiuyuan.

She expects him to tell on her, but instead he teaches her how to inhale.

He's handsome and tall, his warm smile veiled by smoke, with a vast red sunset filling the sky behind him. This is her most beautiful first love.

A week later, Wen Xiuyuan leaves the country, and she hears he went with his girlfriend.

Gu Youran: To hell with first love!

At twenty-three, Gu Youran is a fairly well-known romance author online. To observe what domineering CEOs are really like, she applies for a job as Wen Xiuyuan's secretary.

She secretly writes a novel based on herself and Wen Xiuyuan, and it becomes a huge online hit. Publishers and film and TV companies all come looking to collaborate.

She feels guilty toward Wen Xiuyuan while happily counting her royalties.

One day, she suddenly announces: He doesn't like me, so I won't update anymore.

Her readers go crazy, her editor goes crazy, and the publishers and film and TV companies all go crazy.

She goes to Wen Xiuyuan to resign, but he corners her and demands, “Who said I don't like you?”

Gu Youran: ???

Wait, when did you find out???

Extra Scene:

Gu Youran has no experience, but she writes explicit scenes without hesitation.

After a business dinner, Wen Xiuyuan reads her latest update. His gaze darkens, and he immediately changes his mind and heads straight to her place.

Gu Youran opens the door, and he says nothing as he pins her firmly against it.

Watching his chest muscles gradually come into view, Gu Youran swallows despite herself. “Why are you undoing your buttons?”

Wen Xiuyuan presses his forehead to hers and says in a low voice, “What you learn from books is shallow; to truly understand it, you have to put it into practice.”
