Blurb:

Reborn at eighteen, Qin Jia swears she will do only two things.

First, take revenge on her enemies.

Second, win Lu Yan back.

Qin Jia is the illegitimate daughter of the Xu family, a secret they want kept out of sight.

Before Qin Jia was reborn, Xu Jiujiu framed her at every turn. Now Qin Jia returns the favor tenfold, a hundredfold.

Qin Jia: "You had it coming."

Qin Jia gets into the best university in Jiangcheng.

Everyone at Jiang University says that all she has is a pretty face, that good grades won't get her anywhere, and that being with Lu Yan is nothing but a pipe dream.

But the year Lu Yan graduates, he makes a high-profile confession to her in front of the entire faculty and student body: "Qin Jia is mine."

The male and female leads are both sexually inexperienced.

Aloof beauty vs. sweet, scheming green tea.

A sweet romance.

Blurb for Who Took Whom for a Substitute?:

One-line summary: You took me for a substitute? What a coincidence, I did the same.

Everyone in the industry knows that Huo Xiao and Ye Shuangjiang's marriage is nothing but a beautiful facade.

In Huo Xiao's eyes, Ye Shuangjiang is merely a substitute for the woman he dreams of day and night, his beloved white moonlight.

In the third year of their marriage, Huo Xiao's white moonlight returns to the country. Everyone secretly laughs, expecting to see Ye Shuangjiang get dumped by Huo Xiao.

But to their surprise, Ye Shuangjiang is the one who asks for a divorce.

Huo Xiao looks at the divorce agreement before him, puts a cigarette between his lips, and says nonchalantly, "Ye Shuangjiang, without me, you're nothing. Are you sure you want to..."

Before he can finish, the woman smiles brightly and offers him a pen. "Mr. Huo, sign it."

Huo Xiao signs with a cold expression. Watching Ye Shuangjiang stride away with her suitcase, he flicks off the ash and snuffs out his cigarette. "You'd better not regret it."

Everyone thinks Ye Shuangjiang will be like a stray dog once she leaves Huo Xiao, but her directing career takes off.

What's more, the media catch Ye Shuangjiang on several outings with a mysterious man.

At a later Huo family banquet, Huo Xiao sees Ye Shuangjiang leaning against his supposedly dead-and-resurrected young uncle, Huo Xiao, her expression gentle. Even the way she says "A Xiao" has a soft, lilting sweetness he has never heard from her before.

When the two come closer, Huo Xiao finally sees that his young uncle's features look very much like his own. Even the mole beneath his eye is identical.

Two substitute relationships / both sexually inexperienced / not each other's first love.

Love after divorce / regret and pursuit / emotional battlefield / obsessive man.

Theme: Do not fear adversity; bravely pursue your husband.
