1.

BlackDay, a band that climbed to the top with its moving, uncompromising music, has millions of fans. Its drummer is hailed as a legend for his exceptional technique and explosive power.

He's quiet and aloof, never courts publicity, and has never cared about anyone or anything. Yet the better people in the industry know him, the more they say he's impossible to resist. His closest bandmates warn, "Don't mess with him. It'll be a waste of your time."

Until...

At a concert with a hundred thousand people in the audience, someone in the know saw him backstage during the intermission, holding a girl in his arms and gently kissing her tears away.

"There, there. Don't cry."

Everyone: ???

2.

Before she turned twenty, dance was the only thing Ning Zhan loved.

From the moment she saw him, she found something else to love: him.

Just when she loved him most passionately, she discovered that he was the legendary national heartthrob.

Ning Zhan: "It's over, it's over. There's a three-thousand-mile gap between us."

Before she could even process that, she got word that she had to travel to a city three thousand miles away to compete.

Ning Zhan: "It's over, it's over. Now there's a three-thousand-mile physical distance between us, too."

She endured a bumpy journey and finally arrived.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself openly asleep on a bus, leaning against his shoulder.

He smiled. "From now on, this little girl is under my care."

From then on, everything went off the rails.

His sweet talk knew no bounds.

Super sweet, let's go!!!!

1. Yan Shu has a fiancé. According to her grandfather, he's the gentlest and most proper man in the world.

When she meets her fiancé, Yan Shu lets her guard down around him completely.

Only later does she discover the coldness beneath his aloof features.

A few weeks later, her family calls to say that her fiancé has come to discuss the wedding and tells her to hurry home.

Yan Shu looks at the man beside her, slowly twirling a strand of her hair around his finger, and shrinks into a corner, trembling. "W-who are you?"

The man bends toward her, his eyes full of devotion and determination. "I'll take care of that man for you. From now on, I'm your fiancé."

2. Fu Ye is someone no one dares talk about in Chize City. Everyone fears his ruthless ways.

A rebel who defies convention, he's said to have no close family ties and to be a madman.

One day, Fu Ye turns Chize City upside down from top to bottom.

People whisper among themselves: Could there be some ancestral treasure hidden beneath our city?

Which enemy has landed in his hands this time?

A few days later, people notice a delicate young woman in Fu Ye's arms.

The blade in his hand traces a graceful arc. As it rises and falls, tenderness colors his usually cold eyes. His voice is indulgent: "Come on, open wide. Mango."

3.

Ever since she was little, Yan Shu was taught that she would marry the young master of the Fu family, to whom she had been betrothed since childhood.

One day, she runs into her fiancé for the first time. Perfect looks! Perfect figure!

Hoping to grow closer, Yan Shu follows him around like a little shadow.

Fu Ye: "Why do you keep following me?"

Yan Shu blinks. "I'm your fiancée."

Fu Ye: "You even dare to trick me into marriage? Get lost!"

Later, Fu Ye really does turn out not to be her fiancé... Yan Shu awkwardly runs off after flirting with the wrong man.

She has no idea that the man behind her is furious and sees her in everyone.

*Not long after her engagement falls through, the Yan family holds a party with the intention of finding her a husband.

No one expects Fu Ye, the young master of Chize City's illustrious Fu family, to show up.

Fu Ye is welcomed as an honored guest and treated as a prime candidate.

But the Yan family soon realizes that Fu Ye has come to wreck the party.

His wealth, influence, and imposing presence leave the young men from the city's elite thoroughly intimidated.

Yan Shu thinks he's still angry because she wouldn't leave him alone before, and plans to run away.

"Little liar, try running away again."

"You can't have anyone but me."
