[Arranged marriage to love with an indulgent, unhinged childhood friend / 40% coercive flavor / Second male lead wins / Very sweet]

In the second year of dating a famous movie star,

Yin Ji unexpectedly discovered that she was only a lowly substitute. To promote his first love, he even had her enter the studio and act as her dance double.

After making a miserable attempt to break up, she found her path to stardom blocked, until the childhood friend whose arranged engagement she'd once ruined came looking for her.

After many years apart, the once-rebellious boy had become a top power player in the industry.

Yuan Congjing looked languid as he handed her an agreement. "I can't stand that scumbag bullying you. I want to back you up and make you famous."

Yin Ji: "A performance-based contract?"

Yuan Congjing said coolly, "A prenuptial agreement."

Yin Ji: "What did you say?"

"Help me deal with the old man."

He quietly snuffed out the glowing red tip of his cigarette, hiding the fierce possessiveness in his eyes as he made his offer. "You'll get the best resources."

-

One day, the movie star finally managed to reach Yin Ji by phone after trying to get back together with her.

To his surprise, the person who answered was Yuan Congjing, the major shareholder who had just acquired his entertainment company.

"Looking for my wife?" Yuan Congjing sat up, one hand braced against the rumpled bed. His lean, powerful build and defined abs radiated a primal masculine beauty. Lazily reaching for his cigarette case, he lowered his head and was about to take a cigarette between his thin lips.

Just then, the exhausted woman murmured softly.

He turned to look at her, his eyes full of obsession and longing, and bent to kiss her forehead as tenderly as if she were a treasure.

Then, in a cold voice, he turned down the shocked movie star on the other end. "My wife is tired and needs to rest."

-

The entertainment industry is abuzz with rumors that the movie star Yin Ji has a mysterious big shot backing her. A set of incredibly atmospheric photos has also gone viral across the internet.

It was the first snowy night of the year in Beijing, with dim lights along the road.

The man's profile was refined and captivating. His dark Crombie coat accentuated his tall, elegant figure. He tilted his head, listening to the woman in his arms with a doting look, then carried her gracefully toward a private jet.

Netizens quickly figured out who he was: a Chinese-Russian mixed-race man with stunning features, not only the heir to one of Beijing's wealthiest families, the Yuan family, but also the grandson of an oligarchic business tycoon. The tech group he founded independently is valued at hundreds of billions.

At that moment, at Sotheby's auction house in London,

Yuan Congjing was bidding on outrageously expensive jewelry for Yin Ji. A friend from his social circle couldn't resist teasing him.

The man gave a lazy sideways glance, his tone arrogant. "I spoiled her myself. If I don't indulge her, who will?"

It wasn't until he posted photos of two bright red marriage certificates and tagged Yin Ji that everyone found out.

[She's the wife I've wanted to bring home since we were kids.]

Only then did netizens realize: what kind of sugar daddy was this?

He was a possessive childhood friend who'd been coveting his childhood sweetheart all along, and the number-one fan of his movie-star wife!

Reading Guide:

1. Gentle, cool-headed actress VS bad-boy, obsessive Beijing power player. That's just their public image. Their actual married life is more like spoiled little sun of a childhood sweetheart x dark, unhinged childhood friend.

2. The childhood friend beats out the newcomer. The scumbag movie star who used her as a substitute will pay for it. Includes male rivalry and love-triangle drama.

3. At heart, this is a sweet arranged-marriage-to-love story, with lots of cuddles and married-life romance.

4. The heroine's career gets its own storyline, but the story's completeness and character motivations matter more. It's not a fast-paced wish-fulfillment novel, but once the buildup is over, it'll be very satisfying.

5. 1V1, both leads are sexually inexperienced. The male lead is a rotten, unhinged obsessive with a wall-staring love fixation, but for the heroine he pursues pure love, stays faithful, and is good at both service and sex. There's a size difference between him and the heroine. In private, he's a clingy big puppy.

P.S.

* No real-life inspirations, and there are original fictional elements. The entertainment and business settings are fictional. Please don't read them as referring to real people.

* A cheesy, wish-fulfillment romance for fun. If you feel uncomfortable while reading, stop in time. Hostile comments will hurt your luck with money. Hope everyone finds a novel they love~

Next up: "Isle of Man Diary"

Couple: fair-skinned, beautiful, free-spirited soft girl x gentle, scheming heir to a Hong Kong family

As the real daughter of Hong Kong's Huang family, Chu Lei has always been treated like an invisible extra by the wealthy young women in high society.

Everyone says her eyes are like autumn waters, her complexion as pure as jade, and she's quite beautiful, but her personality is meek and dull, nothing like the former Miss Huang, who was bright and outgoing.

The Huang family still dotes on the fake heiress as much as ever.

Until Ming Pao Weekly publishes an intimate photo of the fake heiress on a yacht with the man Chu Lei is engaged to. Her parents show their favoritism once again.

Heartbroken, Chu Lei applies for a student exchange program and travels to New York to get away from the gossip.

Her fiance, Liang Youxuan, tries to win her back, blocking her in a corridor of the campus building with an outrageous smirk. "Your Huang family needs the Liang family's influence. Apart from me, do you have a better choice?"

Chu Lei presses her lips together and says nothing, looking toward the handsome man who has just finished giving a business speech in the auditorium and is now being fawned over by the dean.

Through all the noisy commotion,

the man glances over nonchalantly. The cold light from the chandelier frames his striking profile. Elegant and distinguished, he seems far beyond anyone's reach.

Liang Youxuan's expression changes at once. "B-Big Brother."

-

Liang Youxuan's older brother is Liang Shaojun, a Chinese-American heir to Hong Kong's wealthy Liang family. His birth mother comes from an old-money family in Manhattan.

Before turning thirty, he's already become a Wall Street tycoon who can make waves in the financial world.

He looks like a gentleman, humble and courteous, but beneath that he's warm yet ruthless, an expert at giving with one hand and taking with the other, and a typical smiling, ambitious schemer.

Chu Lei's internship application happens to land at a new investment bank under Liang Shaojun, and she becomes one of his summer analysts.

The merger and acquisition deal goes smoothly.

But Chu Lei faints at the celebration banquet from menstrual cramps, and wakes up in Liang Shaojun's private mansion.

The man walks over slowly through the dim night. His figure seems a little lonely as he picks up the resignation letter beside the bed and gently asks, "You flirted with me halfway, then tried to run away. Isn't that irresponsible?"

Liang Shaojun asks again, "Did you deliberately get close to me because you wanted to break off your engagement with my younger brother?"

Chu Lei's eyes sting with tears, leaving her unable to answer.

She thought Liang Shaojun would never forgive her, but the next day, he unexpectedly flew with her to Las Vegas for a whirlwind wedding.

That night, Chu Lei glimpsed the intense possessiveness in the eyes of the usually gentle and refined Liang Shaojun, and he kissed her until she was nearly breathless.

-

As soon as Chu Lei returns to Hong Kong,

Liang Youxuan personally comes to apologize and call off the engagement.

Everyone in their social circle waits to see Chu Lei become a laughingstock, only for the Hong Kong media to announce her marriage to the Liang family's new head, whose dowry is his entire fortune of more than a hundred billion.

The night before the wedding,

Liang Youxuan comes to see her, unable to accept it. He accuses Chu Lei of only wanting to use Liang Shaojun and latch onto his influence.

Liang Shaojun is about to angrily throw him out.

But Chu Lei, still groggy from sleep, walks over and tugs at his shirt cuff, her voice thick with sleep. "You promised that if it went on for more than three hours, you'd stay in bed with me. You broke your promise."

The man picks Chu Lei up and raises a hand, letting her cheek rest against his shoulder. He pampers her shamelessly, then looks at his stunned younger brother. "Do you see now?"

"My thigh isn't just for her to cling to. She can sit on it whenever she wants."

(1) Both leads are sexually inexperienced and exclusive. The fiance doesn't deserve to be the heroine's first love.

(2) Eight-year age gap. Male lead 29, female lead 21. Height difference: 190 x 162.

(3) A big bad wolf in a gentleman's disguise falls in love at first sight with the little white rabbit heroine, marries her, has his way with her, and raises her into his perfect match. A very sweet romance.

(4) The male lead has covert yandere tendencies. He's older and male-dominant, with strong possessiveness, but the heroine is too cute for him to use his usual obsessive tactics, so he can only spoil her.

(5) Sweet, satisfying wish-fulfillment romance in an unrealistic Mary Sue style, with familiar tropes like real and fake heiresses, marrying the scumbag's big brother, and a secret whirlwind wedding to the powerful boss.

(6) 30% Isle of Man, 70% Hong Kong. More Hong Kong flavor than Western romance.
