Blurb:

The actor Jiang, who never appeared on variety shows, is forced by his deranged manager to join a dating reality show.

On the second day, he tells his manager, Ni Qiao, "I think that young woman really likes me. I'm quitting the show."

A few days later, the aloof actor Jiang is desperately trying to get Qin Yuehan's attention. Even his fans can't bear to watch. It's so embarrassing.

Later, rumors repeatedly link actor Jiang and Qin Yue, but Qin Yue denies them with her famous triple denial.

Until the news breaks: #Confirmed! Qin Yue has fallen for young actor Chu Yuze. Actor Jiang has been dumped!#

Actor Jiang stares suggestively at the person who's just come out of the bathroom and asks with maximum tsundere attitude, "So, I've been dumped, huh?"

After learning the truth, Qin Yue blushes and takes to Weibo to explain, "I only like Teacher Jiang."

Actor Jiang immediately reposts: Good girl. I only like you, too.

Chu Yuze: I'm kicking over this dog food!

Bai Jie'er: Chu the dog is mine. If any more unscrupulous media spread rumors, I'll sue you until you cry!

Fans: Both of the CPs I ship have actually, actually, actually, actually made it official??? Oh my god, what kind of magical day is this!

Blurb for I Want to Sweet-Talk You:

Shen Cen is a newly hired physics professor at A University. His voice is cool and flat, and he looks refined and ascetic. His students both respect and fear him.

The first time Hang Tian fills in for someone in his class, Shen Cen catches her in the act.

After class, Shen Cen takes her to his office.

He asks, "Why are you filling in for someone?"

Afraid he'll get angry, Hang Tian quickly explains, "No, I just like Professor Shen's lectures."

Shen Cen chuckles. "Is that so? I teach on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. You can come to all of them."

To make her lie believable, Hang Tian ends up sitting in on his classes for a whole semester.

At the end of term, Shen Cen asks, "Do you still like them? When next semester's timetable comes out, shall I tell you?"

Hang Tian: "..." Can I take that back now?

Professor Shen has been single for twenty-eight years. The students at A University all think he's so picky he'll never find a girlfriend.

But one day after class, the usually calm and composed professor rushes out in a hurry.

He gently coaxes the young woman by the door:

"I'll explain what happened that day when I get home. Don't be mad, okay?"

The students in class: "???"

Hang Tian: What do I do when I fill in for a friend and run into my neighbor? / My neighbor is actually a professor / How much longer do I have to sit in on his classes?

Shen Cen: My neighbor is so cute!

Blurb for Drowning in My Own Affection:

1.

When Yan Le was sixteen, a quiet boy moved into the compound. He was taciturn and never played with the other children. Everyone there called him a weirdo.

Only Yan Le went out of her way to talk to him after school every day, using both gentle persuasion and tough love to bring him home. They ate, drew, and did homework together...

Yan Le would pinch his cheek whenever she got the chance, then grin like an idiot and say, "So soft. You're adorable."

Zhou Yibai would give her an annoyed look, but he never once pushed her away.

Later, after Yan Le graduated from high school, her family sent her abroad. She didn't even get to say goodbye to Zhou Yibai. She cried for hours on the plane.

2.

Seven years later, Yan Le returns to China and becomes a teacher of English and American literature in the foreign languages department at A University.

One day, a film crew comes to shoot on campus.

Yan Le spots the striking young man in the crowd at once. She watches the whole scene from the sidelines. The boy she knew now shines brightly. He can draw everyone's attention without saying a word.

Yan Le and he meet eyes. Zhou Yibai gives her a cold glance, as if he doesn't know her.

Yan Le's heart sinks.

-

One day, when Yan Le comes home after class, Zhou Yibai is waiting downstairs, looking grim. As soon as she approaches, he grabs her wrist and grits out a warning: "Try leaving me behind again."

3.

On countless nights afterward, Yan Le hears Zhou Yibai call her name in his sleep. Even asleep, he holds her tightly.

Yan Le wraps her arms around him, tears falling despite herself.
