1. Seven years ago, the school beauty, Lin Xi, pursued the school heartthrob, Gu Zhongnan. Almost everyone at school knew about it.

After they finally got together, just six months later, Gu Zhongnan looked at Lin Xi with a cold expression and said those words.

"Let's break up."

Seven years later, Lin Xi has become one of the top makeup artists in the industry, while Gu Zhongnan is now the hottest solo male singer around.

They meet again backstage, and Gu Zhongnan grabs her hand.

"Don't go. I'm sorry."

2. Anyone who's worked in the entertainment industry knows that singer Gu Zhongnan is famous for being cold and indifferent, whether toward his manager, a host, or his fans.

No matter the occasion, his signature expression is a blank one.

Until one day, during a nationwide concert tour, everyone on the team witnesses their boss grabbing a woman's wrist without caring about his image at all.

"Lin Xi, I was wrong."

3. At the Weibo Music Awards, Gu Zhongnan once again sweeps several honors, including Male Singer of the Year, Single of the Year, and Album of the Year.

Backstage, he answers a media interview like this.

Reporter: You became famous as soon as you debuted. Do you ever think back to what you wanted at the time?

Gu Zhongnan: Yes.

Reporter: So what was it? An endless love of music?

Gu Zhongnan (smiling): I wanted to win my wife back.

Lin Xi: A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already passed. Gu Zhongnan, let's each move on with our lives.

The next day, Gu Zhongnan moves in next door to Lin Xi.

Gu Zhongnan: I don't have to be a good horse. Can't I be a rabbit who likes the grass right outside its burrow?

A seemingly cold but warm-hearted, music-focused, devoted male lead x an independent, self-reliant female lead who can fire back ten times for every jab

Reading guide:

1. The male lead works hard to win his wife back.

2. Sweet 1v1 romance.

3. The leads broke up in the past because of a misunderstanding, which is later cleared up.

This novel is not based on real people! Not based on real people! Not based on real people!

In her junior year of college, Xia Yiwan secretly fell for Lin Yang. He seemed like a perfect creation of God. As the CEO of a fashion brand, his handsome, aloof face made countless women fall for him.

Xia Yiwan gave up everything, staying by his side and even sharing his bed. She didn't care about anything else, and did everything she could to meet Lin Yang's every demand.

She thought that if she did all that, he would come to love her.

But in front of everyone, Lin Yang said that he was only playing around with Xia Yiwan.

Xia Yiwan gave up on him. Amid all the festivities at her graduation, she called him and asked to break up.

He agreed readily, without the slightest hesitation.

Later, Xia Yiwan becomes an internationally acclaimed fashion designer and is invited to Fashion Week, where brands compete to court her.

She happens to glimpse the man sitting below the stage, but pretends he isn't there and continues talking with others.

Afterward, Lin Yang suddenly appears in front of her and takes her by the wrist. His voice holds a hint of pleading.

"Yiwan, come back."

Xia Yiwan gives him a polite but distant smile. "Mr. Lin, you need to state your terms before we discuss business, don't you?"

She turns away, leaving Lin Yang with only her back to look at.

Lin Yang's expression changes drastically. He hurries forward and takes Xia Yiwan's hand, his touch gentle, as if she were a precious treasure.

His eyes redden, and his voice grows even hoarser. "Don't go."

- You are the peaceful night that summer gave me.

- And I want to be a star resting in the halo of your moon.

Upcoming sweet romance, A Tingle in My Heart

Before setting off for Hecheng, Xie Jin set herself three goals.

"Work hard," "go to bed early," and "find someone so I can hurry up and forget that man."

Her first assignment after starting work is to give private one-on-one piano lessons. Wearing the perfect smile she'd practiced, showing exactly eight teeth, Xie Jin knocks on her client's door.

When it opens, a man with a slightly languid air and an intensely cool demeanor appears before her.

Xie Jin's hand, raised to greet him, freezes in midair.

She remembers her boss's instructions: her client is a graduate student at a top university who is only free in the evenings, so she'll have to work late at night.

And what's more, this client happens to be the man Xie Jin has had a crush on for five whole years and has been trying so hard to forget.

Well, there goes her chance of achieving any of those three goals.

But the man leans lazily against the doorframe and yawns.

"You're finally here."

He had never told anyone that, during those four years apart, Xie Jin had remained a faint but impossible-to-ignore itch in his heart.

* Female lead pursues male lead

* SC, mutual salvation
