A Guide to Saving the CEO's Leading Lady

Pre-release: Who Says We're Not Best Friends? Expected to launch around July

Blurb:

[Villainess's Perspective] As a modern woman, Qi Rong accidentally transmigrates into the melodramatic romance novel The CEO's 33 Days of Passion. She discovers that she's the supporting female character who's been in love with the hero for years, and is left speechless. But who could have expected that the heroine would actually be a sweet, timid girl? Qi Rong's protective instincts kick in, and she vows to save the poor heroine from the CEO's clutches.

But after getting a taste of how soft and cuddly Fu Qingqing is, and how easy she is to sweep off her feet, Qi Rong decides that in addition to saving her, she might as well take on the responsibility of giving her a lifetime of "happiness" in place of the male lead.

"Wifey Qingqing, I want a hug!"

[A tough woman who puts on airs and knows what's right, but is forced into the role of the villainess] × [A soft girl who's innocent, cheerful, and genuinely sweet, but insists on being a girlboss]

[Male Lead's Perspective] The moment Qi Rong snatched the drugged red wine he'd prepared and smashed it on the floor, Shao Muhan's plans began to unravel. But because of the powerful family backing her, he decided not to make a move against her for now.

Then his plan to imprison the heroine inexplicably fell through, and even his company started having problems.

But when he finally found Fu Qingqing after exhausting every means, he discovered Qi Rong asleep in the arms of the woman he'd worked so hard to get. He was so furious that he completely lost his domineering CEO composure.

"Heh. Woman, you're playing with fire."

*The heroine has sound values and sees through the CEO's tricks one by one. She won't hesitate to dismantle the original male lead's schemes.

*One-on-one, both leads are each other's only partner

____________________Pre-release

Back when communication technology wasn't as advanced as it is now, Lin Youzi wrote a postcard near Nanjing's Gulou and mailed it to Shen Yuetao. Half a month later, Lin Youzi received a reply with just one sentence.

"Lin You, don't you know the first thing you ask when checking in on an old flame is, 'How have you been?'"

Lin Youzi stared at the postcard in her hands, lost in thought. She suddenly realized that Shen Yuetao could now bring up their past as a joke.

-

One day after school, Lin Youzi and Shen Yuetao bought an ice cream at a corner shop.

Shen Yuetao watched Lin Youzi nearly stain her clothes again, sighed, and wiped them clean with a tissue.

Lin Youzi had been smiling carelessly then. She asked, "So, Shen Yuetao, why are you so good to me?"

At that, Shen Yuetao froze, lowering her eyes.

"Because we're best friends."

-

Shen Yuetao would always remember the first thing Lin Youzi said to her.

"Wow, what a coincidence! We both have fruit in our names. You're a peach and I'm a pomelo. We're such a perfect match."

So she never told Lin Youzi that Yuetao wasn't a peach at all, but another name for the gardenia.

Just like Shen Yuetao's love for Lin You, the truth could never be spoken aloud. It could only be hidden in her heart.
