The True Heiress's Sea of Stars

When Zheng Xixi turned eighteen, she was told she was the real daughter of a wealthy family, lost to them years ago. Everyone expected her to follow the usual script, competing with the fake heiress for her family's affection. Instead, Zheng Xixi latched onto a powerful patron: Gu Yun, the heir to the Gu Group and the eldest son of the Gu family. The Gu family was much richer than the Zhengs. Gu Yun was sharp-tongued, bad-tempered, and impatient, yet he protected Zheng Xixi in every way. Rumors spread that Zheng Xixi and Gu Yun were about to get together. Even Gu Yun's friends couldn't help teasing him. "You're an old ox eating young grass." Gu Yun: "Don't talk nonsense. I only see her as a little sister. I absolutely have no ulterior motives." Later, Gu Yun: My face hurts. -- Gu Yun had wanted a little sister since he was a child. The first time he saw Zheng Xixi, he thought that if he had a sister, she'd look just like her: clever, mischievous, and a little adorable. So the young master of the Gu family decided: This is the little sister I'll protect. Much later, Gu Yun finally realized, belatedly, that what he'd felt back then wasn't a desire to treat her like a little sister. Damn it, it was love at first sight. He'd have to live with the consequences of his own words. He'd marry the girl he'd spoiled himself. Though the process was a little complicated, in the end he still managed to bring his wife home. --From the young master Gu's diary of self-reflection -- Zheng Xixi: "There was once a guy six years older than me. He was handsome, sometimes picked me up in a sports car, bought me expensive gifts, and took me out to dinner and to the movies..." "Was he trying to hit on you?" "No, he just liked being everyone's big brother." "..." One-on-one, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.

At her high school graduation party at eighteen, a single dance stole the hearts of countless young men. But she has a wonderful older brother, Song Chi, who raised her like a princess and protected her as if she were the apple of his eye. No one else had a chance to get close to her. Then news arrived that the Song family's cash flow had dried up and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. A whole crowd began eyeing Song Nian, eager to pluck this delicate flower now that she had lost her protector. At a fashion gala, a former rival deliberately invited Song Nian, hoping to see her humiliated. But in a corner of the venue, she saw Song Nian standing beside Cheng Jie, the head of the Cheng family, whose very name struck fear into the hearts of City B. Song Nian stood on tiptoe, looking pitiful. "My shoes are rubbing." Cheng Jie asked gently, "Should I carry you out?" "No." Song Nian pouted. "Then I'd lose face." Her rival: "..." What exactly do you think having face means? - Song Nian's parents died when she was young, and her brother spoiled her as she grew up. When she learned the company was in trouble, her brother was frantic, and there was nothing she could do to help. She lay awake all night, thinking that the only thing she could do was marry into another family for an alliance. Song Nian made a list, and at the very top was the powerful Cheng Jie. Years ago, Cheng Jie had been playing a game with his friends when someone asked what kind of person he liked. He'd answered casually, "Pretty and well-behaved." Song Nian thought, That's exactly me! So she made her move. Song Nian changed into a flowing, ethereal dress and nervously stopped Cheng outside his company. "Hello, my name is Song Nian." She gripped the hem of her dress tightly, her voice soft and sweet. "I'm very pretty, and very well-behaved." She glanced shyly at Cheng Jie. "Would you like to form a marriage alliance with me?" Cheng Jie: "I'm a lifelong bachelor." Song Nian obediently replied, "That's okay. You can change." Cheng Jie: "..." Later, this "well-behaved" girl boldly climbed all over him, churning his stagnant waters into towering waves.
