Sweet Beyond Words

Blurb one:

The only person Su Tian ever loved was a wealthy, high-born playboy. But that was fine. All she needed was to have had him once. After all, she understood the rules of the game and was happy to play by them. But can someone tell her why the rules suddenly changed, even though they broke up eight years ago?

Blurb two:

Women throwing themselves at Lin Shen are as numerous as fish crossing a river, and he never turns them away. His girlfriends change as often as the lights on a carousel, but no woman has ever managed to sleep with him, let alone dump him afterward. Su Tian is the exception.

In a nutshell: A heroine who thinks she understands the rules of the game and pretends to be carefree versus a hero who thinks he can't fall in love but has secretly held a grudge against her for years, only to have his assumptions face-slapped again and again.

Tips:

1. This is a second-chance romance, a sweet entertainment-industry story. I'm not sure if there'll be angst, but if there is, it'll be just a little, for a touch of spice.

2. The hero is a soldier at first and a domineering CEO later, maybe. His specialty is keeping the heroine safe.

3. The hero seems like a playboy, but his heart and body belong only to the heroine.

4. This story is entirely fictional, so please don't overanalyze it. It may be clichéd and melodramatic. If that's not your thing, please don't flame me. Thank you.

Completed: My Lover Was the Chief Minister of an Enemy State

Blurb:

Xie Heng, the powerful regent of Yan, devises a strategy that brings down Qi. Xiao Xuan, the empress of Qi, who had been on the throne for barely three months, is forced to end her life with a cup of poison. Her body is burned to ashes.

Xie Heng travels to the capital of Qi to take charge of the kingdom. But when he sees the jade bangle on Xiao Xuan's remains, he realizes with a start that it is the heirloom bangle of the Xie family, lost long ago and reserved only for a lawful wife.

From then on, Xie Heng is plagued by nightmares every night. He dreams of being entwined in an all-consuming passion with a woman, and that woman is none other than Xiao Xuan, the empress of Qi.

It turns out that the empress he forced to her death once shared a secret past with him. She had taken a liking to him at first sight and seduced him, then took it upon herself to steal his memories, leading him to commit a grave mistake.

Xie Heng falls seriously ill, nearly losing his mind.

Then one day, he discovers that the woman who drove him mad has already changed her face and become Qin Wan, daughter of Yan's Grand Historian. She has been living carefree right under his nose.

Xie Heng watches coldly, testing her little by little. At last, he corners her and asks with a smile, “You provoked me, yet you still want to act as if nothing happened. Wanwan, do you really think the world works that way?”

Xiao Xuan shivers and pretends not to understand.

Later, after Xiao Xuan realizes her identity has been exposed, she decides to cut ties with him once and for all. “We may have shared some affection, but it never went so far that you had to marry me. Why not let everything that happened between us be nothing more than a dream?”

Xie Heng only sneers and bites down on her lips, letting the taste of blood spread between them. In a hoarse voice, he says two words: “No chance.”

P.S. One couple, both virgins, happy ending.

After I Transmigrated into a Book, the Sweet-and-Sour Hero Kept His Eyes on Me

Jiang Panpan transmigrates into a book and becomes Jiang Yun, a female cannon-fodder character. Jiang Yun thinks she's the most beloved junior sister in the sect, so she acts arrogantly and causes trouble at every turn. She doesn't know that, in everyone else's eyes, she's merely a tool with a rare constitution, destined to be offered to the sect leader once she forms her golden core.

In the original story, Jiang Yun refuses to submit to the sect leader and dies by self-detonating her spirit core.

Jiang Panpan wants to survive, so she decides to latch onto a powerful patron.

The male lead, Wei Chen, is sweet on the outside and dark within. On the surface, he's Qingyun Sect's eldest disciple, a prodigious sword cultivator, gentle as jade and every bit the refined gentleman. In truth, he's the demonic path's supreme lord, wild and uninhibited, with a particular fondness for playing with people's hearts.

Wei Chen is no one to rely on, but his junior brother Qin Wei is the only person under his protection. Sticking close to Qin Wei can't go wrong. So Jiang Panpan approaches him in a secret realm, intent on becoming his underling. Who could have known that Qin Wei would be gravely injured and drag her into danger, leaving her on the brink of death?

To survive, Jiang Panpan has no choice but to sacrifice her chastity. Qin Wei takes in Jiang Panpan's cultivation, reaches the pinnacle, and sure enough, gets them both out alive.

Jiang Panpan's cultivation falls back to the initial stage of Qi Refining. Full of regret, she asks through her tears, “Wei Lang, you'll protect me, won't you?”

Wei Chen, using Qin Wei's identity, smiles. “Of course.”

“Qin Wei” keeps his word and levels the disreputable little sect.

Just then, a round-faced young man exclaims with delight, “Eldest Senior Brother, I knew you'd come save me!”

Jiang Panpan's legs go weak, and she nearly collapses to the ground.

While no one's paying attention, Jiang Panpan grabs her bundle and runs. But she encounters bandits on the road, and is about to lose both her money and her virtue. At this critical moment, she sees Wei Chen sitting in a tree, calmly watching the show.

Jiang Panpan pleads through her tears, “Fellow Daoist Wei, save me!”

Wei Chen smiles. “Call me Wei Lang.”

Jiang Panpan swallows her humiliation. “...Wei Lang.”

P.S. One couple, both virgins, happy ending.

The heroine is weak at first but becomes stronger later. All she wants is to go home, and she's just as heartless as the hero.

Theme: Love is eternal.
