◆◆ A Proud, Pure-Hearted Puppy Who Wins Himself Over ◆◆

An outgoing, naturally airheaded girl x a cool and aloof guy who loves putting on airs

-

Shen Jiajia, a workplace newbie, got into Siyu Media through connections and became an intern assistant to Si Yu, the industry's "top agent."

She knew Si Yu had been involved in plenty of gossip over the years, and had a pretty bad reputation.

But she never expected that Liang Xiheng, the school's notorious class-skipper and a rumored rising star in the skiing world, was also Sister Yu's maybe-boyfriend.

Following Si Yu's instructions, her daily routine as an assistant was to call Liang Xiheng and ask how he was doing, deliver all three meals, offer gentle words of concern when he was sick, and even brave the rain to cross half the city to buy him sweet treats...

Every time, Liang Xiheng wore a world-weary expression, acting cold, perfunctory, and terribly impatient.

Shen Jiajia wondered countless times how that stone-faced guy had managed to win Sister Yu's favor.

A year later, at the Winter Olympics men's snowboard slopestyle event, Liang Xiheng put on his signature icy expression for the cameras and performed spectacular, high-difficulty tricks without batting an eye. He looked impossibly arrogant.

At the post-event interview, a reporter held a microphone up to him. "You put in a very steady performance today, Xiheng. Your coach said you brought a photo with you before the competition. Was it a picture of your family?"

Liang Xiheng said nothing.

Just as the reporter assumed he wouldn't answer and was about to smooth things over, Liang Xiheng suddenly thrust out a hand and bluntly tossed out a few words.

"My girlfriend."

He seemed to be trying his hardest to look indifferent, but the corners of his eyes still lifted uncontrollably.

-

In front of the television,

everyone clearly saw the front of the photo held between his long fingers. It was unmistakably Shen Jiajia's face.

Forced to watch the entire interview, Shen Jiajia could only say: ...

This book is also known as: "When Did I Steal My Boss's Man? How Would I Know?" "My Career in This Industry Is Over" and "Can I Still Resign Tonight?"

Note: The male lead only loves skiing and the female lead. Si is the male lead's biological mother.

Blurb for my next book, Heart-Pounding Adventure

[Sweet First-Love Face x Shameless Mastermind]

In everyone's eyes, Qi Ning is sweet, soft, and indecisive, raised under strict rules. She's a pretty but useless ornament.

This obedient girl, who grew up listening to her parents, did the second most outrageous thing of her life at twenty-six:

She impulsively married her first love, an ex-boyfriend she hadn't spoken to in eight years.

What was the first outrageous thing?

Probably when her rebellious phase came late, after high school graduation. She kept it secret from everyone and had a secret relationship with Feng Yan, the famous heartthrob of Beiting No. 1 High School. After she took his first kiss and first love, she cruelly and decisively dumped him.

*

On the day they registered their marriage, outside the civil affairs bureau,

Feng Yan glanced down at the documents in her hand, his tone lazy and nonchalant. "I'm not into fake marriages."

Qi Ning kept up a calm front. "It's a real marriage."

"Fine. Then sign this first."

He slid a postnuptial agreement toward her and politely asked for her opinion. "I'm only getting married once in my life. Is it unreasonable to have high standards?"

Qi Ning took the paper:

1. We may not conceal our marital relationship in any situation.

2. Neither of us may stay out all night without a good reason.

10. We will not be a married couple in name only.

*

Everyone in their circle knew that Feng Yan was famously vindictive.

A friend had been unlucky enough to see him after the breakup, his pride shattered and his dignity in tatters.

He was sure Feng Yan had set a trap for Qi Ning out of revenge, and waited eagerly to watch them get married and immediately divorce.

Until one day, he drove past Feng Yan's place and stopped by for a drink because he was thirsty.

The door opened from inside. The pampered young master had his sleeves rolled up and both hands covered in suds. He rudely shooed him away. "No water, no time. I'm busy. Get lost."

His friend didn't believe him and insisted on going inside to see what was going on.

It turned out Feng Yan was busy washing Qi Ning's hair.

Feng Yan raised an eyebrow, as if the other man were making a fuss over nothing. "What's so strange about that? What man hasn't washed his wife's hair? Oh, sorry, I forgot you don't have a wife."

His friend: ...Sorry to bother you. I'm leaving!

[The kiss they never finished in their senior year, their racing hearts and damp palms, the boy and girl who turned away from each other so decisively when they broke up: we'll pick up their story seven years later, after they're married.]
