A Clichéd, Tearjerking Second-Chance Romance

The entire upper crust was saying the same thing: The second young master of the Yu family had hooked up with the CEO of the Nan family, only to be discarded after a year of dating. Yu Cheng had gone mad.

Two years later, Yu Cheng took the entertainment world by storm and became the dream lover of countless men and women.

On his twenty-fifth birthday, the man who had abandoned him returned to the country.

Yu Cheng had been determined to get revenge, but his amnesia put an abrupt end to that plan, giving the other man a chance to take advantage of him. Yu Cheng fell for him all over again.

When his memories came back, he resolutely left the man whose mouth was full of lies.

The other man plied him with affection and sweet words, played all his CEO tricks and powerful-man schemes, and shamelessly pressured him into giving in.

Everyone said Nan Ting was cold and ruthless, using brutal methods and showing no mercy. Anyone who crossed him met a terrible end.

No one knew there had always been someone hidden in his heart.

His icy demeanor melted only for that person, and his ruthlessness was only ever used to protect him.

He dragged him to the civil affairs bureau and forced him to become Mrs. Nan.

He also made everyone who had hurt his wife pay several times over.

But that person's amnesia threw his entire plan into disarray.

Ongoing novel: Forced to Be the Beloved of a Tycoon Gaming Guild. Blurb:

Xia Le hadn't even played a match, yet he became the darling of a tycoon gaming guild, earning the nickname "Pro Player Collector."

The strongest jungler disbanded his guild for him and gave him all the top-tier gear he'd won.

The top support stepped aside for him, even volunteering to become a substitute.

The retired, undefeated champion returned to the arena and helped him reach the top of the league.

The vice president humbled himself and became his training partner.

The guild leader went even further, putting him in a "display case" in his bedroom and treating him like a treasure every day.

Xia Le: "Well... But... They kidnapped me."

They literally kidnapped me.

Everyone knew that Bai Yan had kidnapped an eighteen-year-old kid and brought him to the base. They said he was incredible at grinding for gear, and the entire guild treated him like their precious darling.

Even the cafeteria lady went out of her way to make him special dishes and give him extra chicken legs.

Half a month passed. The kid didn't train his account or join battles. He spent every day hanging out with Bai Yan, living it up and visiting one club after another.

Guild Eleven: That's it? He's worth all this fuss?

On the day of the tournament, the kid showed up at the venue.

But he wasn't there to watch. As the tactical commander, he led the main attack team to break the record for the longest nine-crown streak.

Guild Eleven: Breaking a record? Yeah, right.

Half an hour later, the game was over and the nine-crown record had been broken.

Everyone was stunned, caught completely off guard.

What kid? He's the Einstein of gaming!

He's incredible!

The whole league erupted, and everyone started making offers to Xia Le.

Bai Yan: "Have these people gone crazy?"

Xia Le twiddled his fingers. "No, they're trying to poach me from you."

Bai Yan: ...

-

Xia Le's friends list was overflowing, his inbox was full, and the training room doors were practically broken down by guilds coming to deliver gifts under the pretense of being "Xia Le's friends and family."

The gifts filled an entire "display case," including the collectible blind boxes Xia Le liked best.

The blind box Bai Yan had given him lay forlornly in a corner, gathering dust.

Bai Yan gave a soft scoff. "You ungrateful little brat."

He cornered the ungrateful brat in his room and breathed against those lips, his breath warm with restrained desire.

Bai Yan: "Tell me, out of all these friends and family, who's closest to you?"

Xia Le: "You, of course."

Bai Yan: "How close?"

Xia Le: "As close as family."

Bai Yan: "That's not what I want."

Xia Le: "Then..."

Bai Yan: "How about we date?"

Xia Le: Huh?

Bai Yan: "Don't you think dating is the closest you can be?"

Theme: One person for a lifetime, half-drunk and half-awake through this fleeting life!
