Rising venture capitalist x Violin princess

One golden autumn, Ding Rou'an, the violin princess hailed overseas as the Eastern Sprite, returned to China to hold a solo violin concert, with Nancheng as the first stop. The orchestra accompanying her that day was the renowned independent Austrian ensemble Ciya, and Piano had even invited Lin Xuyan, currently the hottest star in entertainment.

After the concert, Ding Rou'an's name resounded through the classical music world, drawing attention from the entertainment and fashion industries. Eventually, people even dug up the fact that she was the heiress to Hong Kong's Zongheng Shipping and the only granddaughter of the old shipping magnate Ding Lu.

Talk about her family background was pushed onto the trending list.

As soon as the news broke, Zongheng Shipping was the first to claim their little princess.

@Zongheng Shipping: "We checked, and she really is our little princess! @The Universe's Super Beautiful Girl Who Never Gains Weight, An'an"

The shipping magnate's family claiming her caused an uproar online.

With her illustrious background, exceptional talent, strikingly beautiful features, and a pair of ocean-blue eyes, Ding Rou'an quickly became famous among the wealthy elite in every city and a darling of the fashion world.

She also became the ideal daughter-in-law in the eyes of the most discerning mothers-in-law.

But Rou'an knew nothing about all this.

At that moment, she was trapped on a man's desk, kissed and coaxed by a man whose jealousy had robbed him of all reason.

"Let's make it public!"

Because of you, my world is full of color!

Reader's guide:

2. From school days to the wedding aisle. Both leads are each other's first and only.

"Like a Whale to the Sea"

Elegant and proud x Rascally playboy

The jerk gets his comeuppance and falls hard every day. Mutual pining.

Ming Ruixi was hailed by high society as "a walking textbook for debutantes." Her family, education, figure, and looks were all top-notch.

Whenever she appeared at a social function, her clothes, shoes, and accessories were sure to inspire discussion and envy.

She never wore the same thing twice, and her beauty was elegant and refined.

In every open or covert battle among the debutantes, she was never the one to lose.

Many people admired her, and she was the ideal daughter-in-law in the eyes of the most discerning mothers-in-law in high society.

There were also plenty of people who disliked Ming Ruixi. Xia Huaixin, the most famous playboy in Tingcheng, who knew everything there was to know about food, drink, and having fun, was one of them.

At a cocktail party, Ming Ruixi arrived in a mint-green slip dress that made her look like a beautiful fairy, immediately attracting a crowd and countless eyes.

"She really is gorgeous and naturally seductive. No wonder my grandmother keeps going on about her."

"Brother Xin, are you interested? She'd make a pretty good young madam of the Xia family."

At that, Xia Huaixin couldn't even be bothered to lift his eyelids.

He scoffed. "What makes her suitable? She can't lift or carry anything. Am I supposed to marry her and worship her like an ancestor?"

All his buddies heard him.

But later, someone caught Xia Huaixin spreading his arms to block Ming Ruixi's way.

He looked utterly pitiful. "Ruixi, my dear ancestor, what do I have to do for you to like me?"

Everyone: "…"

That face-slapping was damn satisfying.

I love you, like a whale to the sea, like a bird to the forest,

never knowing how to retreat.
