Tenderly Surrendering

Announcement: The main story is complete. Writing isn't easy, so please support the official release!

1. When Lin Wu was eighteen, what she heard most often was, "It's a shame about Hua Heng."

His family was poor, his temperament gloomy, and he was barely noticeable at school. What a waste of such a handsome face.

She was even warned to stay away from Hua Heng, though no one knew that this refined young man had once carried her to the hospital on a rainy night.

On Hua Heng's twenty-second birthday, she hesitantly handed him a scarf she'd knitted herself.

The young man, just barely past his awkward years, gave a mocking smile and tossed it into the trash. Hidden in a corner, Lin Wu watched with red-rimmed eyes. From then on, she avoided him.

Three months later, emboldened by drink, she made a move on Hua Heng, then fled abroad in a panic.

*

Five years passed in a flash. The young man everyone said had no future had become an untouchable, newly crowned Best Actor, cool and noble, with no scandals and no rumors of romance.

At the time, Lin Wu, who had made her debut through a magazine photoshoot, was filming a show when the set suddenly grew noisy.

A tall, slender man with a cool expression emerged from backstage. His suit and tie were immaculate, and his deep, alluring eyes glanced briefly at her.

Lin Wu immediately lowered her head. As soon as filming ended, she hurried away, only to be cornered in the hallway by the man.

Frightened, she backed away step by step. He closed in, pinning her against the wall, and demanded, voice full of menace, "Who told you that you could disappear after making a move on me?"

He gripped her chin and kissed her, hard and fiercely.

2. News breaks that Hua Heng, who's always been aloof and chaste and never been involved in dating rumors, has suddenly joined a variety show and shared his first on-screen kiss.

The news immediately trends, and netizens go wild.

"They weren't faking it! They really kissed!"

"That vase actress is just using him to get attention and stir up rumors. I'll wait for our guy to clear things up."

But netizens don't get a clarification. The next day, pictures emerge of Hua Heng kissing a mysterious woman.

The supposedly chaste Hua Heng has her pinned against a car, kissing her passionately. The woman wraps her arms coquettishly around his neck.

That day, Hua Heng is asked about the dating rumors in an interview.

His gaze is tender. "It's the same person. My first love. I've liked her for eight years."

#Lin Wu always thought she was the only one who'd felt that flutter of first love as a teenager, until she saw the terribly knitted scarf at Hua Heng's house.

#You are a lamp in my lonely life.

Upcoming story: Come Recklessly into My Arms

Bai Qiang has just returned from studying abroad when she learns that she's expected to marry a man she's never even met, and he's a notorious playboy who's been surrounded by women!

They say this rich playboy hates women who are affected and cling to him uninvited. So Bai Qiang puts on an alluring makeup look and knocks on the door of a private room in an upscale hotel.

The man seated in the middle of the sofa looks up. His deep, mesmerizing eyes make Bai Qiang's heart flutter.

But she doesn't let his good looks cloud her judgment. The thought that he's a playboy fills her with indignation.

So, under the shocked gazes of everyone in the room, Bai Qiang coquettishly flips her long curls, sways her hips, and walks over to sit right on the man's lap!

The room falls so silent that even the sound of breathing can be heard.

Later, when the man isn't looking, Bai Qiang squeezes into the front passenger seat of his car, wraps her arms seductively around his neck, and bats her eyelashes at him.

"I really do like you~"

The man's expression instantly darkens, his gaze deepens, and the arm she'd forced around her waist tightens at once.

Bai Qiang eagerly waits for him to throw her out, when suddenly her phone rings. "Qiang'er, why aren't you back yet? Your fiance is here!"

Her fiance?!

Wait, then who is the man in front of her?...

Bai Qiang gives an awkward smile and is about to make a run for it when the man gives a cold laugh and slowly rolls up the car window. Fu Yi arches an eyebrow, loosens his tie, and calmly unbuttons the top button of his shirt.

"Show me how much you like me."
