Some Secret Crushes Are Bound to Blossom

Zhang Anyi had secretly loved Cheng Yi for eight years, and no one knew. One evening during the Mid-Autumn Festival of her sophomore year, she summoned her courage and confessed to him over the phone. Half-asleep, the boy answered in a lazy, impatient voice: "You're keeping me from sleeping!"

Not long afterward, a girl appeared by his side: the prettiest girl in the whole school, who became his girlfriend.

And so Zhang Anyi's secret crush became a laughable one-sided love. Then, everything came to an abrupt end...

Also updating: the ongoing contemporary romance After the Secret Crush. Blurb:

Cheng Xi has no idea she's been set up on a blind date, let alone that the man doesn't even like her. The most melodramatic part is that the man who doesn't like her is the very person she's been secretly in love with for years. Main couple: a refined gentleman who's secretly ruthless and domineering x a gentle, resilient young woman;

Secondary couple: a scheming boy who's also adorably guileless. A sweet puppy in the beginning, a little wolf later x a soft and adorable young woman (an older woman-younger man romance). The younger man is a bit obsessive, with a touch of yandere.

Paused after 50,000 words: the contemporary romance Should I Take You Back? A love story between the Luo Group's CEO and Rong Ning. Rekindled love, a CEO chasing his wife to the crematorium. 1v1, happy ending, with angst and sweet indulgence. Blurb:

They say that after parting, each should go their own way and find their own happiness. She moved on just fine, but he trapped himself in a cocoon of longing that came in waves. She became the moonlight in his heart, haunting his thoughts day and night. He wants to be the one she goes back to, but she says she doesn't want him! A scheming CEO boss x a beautiful, kind-hearted, wild young woman.

"You're my lucky star," she said.

"But Ningning, you know I only want to be your man."

This is a story about taming and being tamed. Luo Yangzhi always thought he was the one taming Rong Ning. It wasn't until much later that he realized he had always been the one who was tamed. I smoke, drink, have tattoos, and dye my hair, but I'm a good girl. Luo Yangzhi had always scoffed at that, until he met Rong Ning.

New contemporary romance: Even Rabbits Bite When Cornered. Please add it to your reading list, mwah! Blurb:

He bullied her from the very start. Only later did he learn that even a crybaby pushover gets her moment to turn the tables. Turns out the old saying was right: corner a rabbit, and she'll really bite...

Sigh, if only he'd known how things would turn out. Well, he definitely wouldn't have acted like such an idiot back then! A sweet marriage-first, love-later story. The male lead is a roguish bad boy with a moonlight in his heart.
