The Darling in His Palm

Announcement: The main story is complete. Bonus chapters are being updated.

Mutual pining, slow-burn, mature romance: a doting, scheming tech mogul V an unpretentious young model

Main focus: the aircraft search-and-rescue industry.

Blurb 1:

To become famous, young model Meng Yuqiao deliberately had someone step on her dress during a high-fashion gala runway show. She lost her balance and tumbled off the catwalk, hoping to land on a certain tycoon. Instead, by a twist of fate, she fell on Jiang Yichuan, the tech mogul and close friend of the tycoon, who was watching the show in the front row.

It was an ugly fall.

Amid the laughter around her, Meng Yuqiao realized she'd fallen on the wrong person. Blushing, she scrambled to her feet. The handsome, aloof man fixed her with dark eyes. His voice was warm, magnetic, and restrained, his breath brushing her porcelain-white face as he slowly asked, "Miss Meng, have you touched enough?"

Meng Yuqiao wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

That night, a video of the unknown model Meng Yuqiao falling spread rapidly through the entertainment industry, and she really did become famous overnight.

Blurb 2:

Three months after becoming famous at the fashion show, Jiang Yichuan and his tycoon friend arrived backstage at a domestic reality TV show. Someone saw the blushing young model Meng Yuqiao hand a pink envelope to Cheng Linian backstage and softly ask, "Mr. Cheng, do you have a girlfriend?"

Cheng Linian took her for a woman who'd thrown herself at him and could be played with as he pleased, and accepted the love letter.

Rumors immediately started up again that Meng Yuqiao was a scheming little homewrecker, doing anything to climb the ladder.

A few days later, in a shady spot at the filming location, Meng Yuqiao prepared to bring water to a jewelry tycoon in the hope of getting more opportunities. The man, usually seen as aloof and icy, suddenly blocked her way. His voice was cool and magnetic, with a hint of mockery. "Looking for opportunities? He can't help you. Be my girlfriend, and I'll make you a star."

Meng Yuqiao blushed several shades redder on the spot.

Didn't he already have a girlfriend? Why was he asking her?

Bonus scene:

One night, Boss Jiang is in the bedroom, attending a video conference. His woman has just come out of the shower and is drying her damp hair. Unaware that his video is on, she leans over, wraps her arms around his neck, and presses her red lips to his sexy, thin lips. She sweetly coos, "Big brother, you must be tired from work."

The moment she says it, more than a dozen executives on the video call suck in their breath and stare in shock at the couple flaunting their love on screen.

Another day, after Meng Yuqiao returns from an event, a paparazzo catches Jiang Yichuan waiting in his car. He stubs out his cigarette, gets out, and pins her in the shadowy corner of a wall, kissing her with narrowed eyes. His voice is husky and wanton. "Did you miss me?"

Kissed until her face is flushed, Meng Yuqiao gives a soft little hum and answers quietly, "Yes."

"Call me Big Brother Jiang."

Meng Yuqiao blushes and hesitates for a few seconds, then softly says, "Big Brother Jiang."

As soon as the words leave her mouth, he kisses her again.

"I missed you too, darling."

The public goes wild. Meng Yuqiao really did manage to win Jiang Yichuan over?

That very night, the man, who never used Weibo, registers a new account and posts: "My girlfriend is Meng Yuqiao. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you."

He also clears up the rumors that she pursued him: "I was the one who pursued her. It took a lot of effort."

Everyone thought she was the schemer, but who knew he'd been luring her into his arms step by step!

A love-hate romance, with a groveling ex

A beautiful flight attendant V a reformed, wildly uninhibited, rich young heir to the Beihang Aviation Group

[Lu Pei always thought Mu Xia would be hopelessly in love with him, but he was the one who truly fell hard.]

Blurb 1:

Everyone in their circle knows that the wealthy young heir Lu Pei has a little girlfriend he bought with money, a girl who won't give him her heart. If Lu Pei tells her to go east, she wouldn't dare go west. She's as obedient as a tamed lamb.

The other rich kids in their circle even bet that Lu Pei wouldn't keep her for more than three years, and would definitely get bored and kick her to the curb after that.

Lu Pei never took that bet seriously. Whether he kept or discarded the woman he was supporting was up to him.

However, before three years had passed, he couldn't take the pressure of the bet any longer. To save face, Lu Pei tossed Mu Xia a 30-million-yuan check. "Mu Xia, I'm bored with you. You can leave now. Don't cling to me anymore."

Mu Xia was already pregnant that day. She'd planned to tell him, but after taking the check, she said nothing and obediently walked away with her suitcase.

A few months after the breakup, Mu Xia never looked back. At first, Lu Pei didn't think much of it, but whenever night fell and the familiar figure was no longer beside him, he suddenly felt empty inside.

And that emptiness was driving him crazy.

A few more months passed, and friends in their circle noticed that Lu Pei, usually a party-loving playboy, had become a well-behaved man around the clock. No parties, no bars, no carousing, no fooling around with women. He seemed to have embraced a quiet, ascetic life.

Everyone thought Lu Pei had found someone new and fallen in love.

Until one day, someone at the airport saw Lu Pei holding Mu Xia back in the VIP lounge. His voice lowered as he begged her, "Baby, I was wrong. Please come back. Let me take care of you..."

But the woman who had once "loved him so much she'd submit to him," and had been so obedient, merely raised her right hand with cool indifference. The diamond engagement ring on her finger gleamed. "Mr. Lu, ours was only ever a fling. Don't beg me like this. I'm engaged. You're not good enough for me anymore."
