A Secret, Heart-Fluttering Crush

Seeking readers for upcoming novels: "Don't Fall for Him": Secretly getting frisky with your best friend's brother right under her nose. "The Heart-Pounding Script": Meeting your arranged-marriage partner on a dating show. [Blurb] Three years ago, a popular thread appeared on a forum: [Share the most handsome guys you know] One reply read: [Photo] Thanks for asking. This is my good friend. He's so popular it's ridiculous. Girls confess to him almost every week. What do you think of his looks? The young man in the photo smiled like a spring breeze, with an indescribable air of elegance that seemed to seep into his very bones. Because of that photo, the entire thread shot to the top of the trending list. As a girl who loved good-looking guys, Jiang Yao fell for him in an instant. Jiang Yao replied: If I ever get to meet this handsome guy in person, I'll pin him against a wall and confess to him on the spot (read: kiss him)! Jiang Yao did everything she could to add him on WeChat, but she didn't dare say a word to him for three years. She'd been content just to meekly watch his Moments updates, but unexpectedly, she ended up crossing paths with him in real life. He looked even more handsome in person than in the photo, and he was gentle, too. But the moment Jiang Yao saw him in person, she lost her nerve. She didn't have the courage to pin him against a wall and confess. All she dared to do was secretly fall for him. One day, after having a few drinks, she summoned her courage and asked him, "Brother Sheng Huai, what kind of girl do you like?" Sheng Huai gave her a meaningful look. "Someone who keeps her word." Jiang Yao never understood what he meant, until one day, Sheng Huai pinned her against the wall and leaned over her. "Didn't you say you'd force a kiss on me when you met me in person? I've been waiting all this time. Are you going to keep your word or not?" ★One-on-one / both virgins / happy ending / ultra-sweet romance!! So sweet it'll give you a toothache!! ★A very sweet, warm, and healing story! - Upcoming novel: "Don't Fall for Him" Tang Ning has a best friend, Gu Li, who's closer to her than a real sister. They affectionately call each other "husband" and "wife." One time, Tang Ning called Gu Li and sweetly cooed, "Husband, I miss you~" The person on the other end cleared his throat and replied in a low, cool voice, "I'm her brother." Tang Ning had heard Gu Li talk about her brother Gu Yu more than once. But every time, she started with, "My brother got another new girlfriend recently." Gu Li always joked that Gu Yu had too many romantic entanglements to count, and that one day, when he really fell in love, karma would catch up with him. When Gu Li was hospitalized with an illness, Tang Ning met Gu Yu for the first time. She realized that all the previous descriptions of his charm had been modest. Gu Yu was cool and courteous in everything he did, but his passionate eyes were far too captivating. From then on, Gu Yu took great care of Tang Ning in his role as her "older brother." Gu Li was afraid Tang Ning would lose her mind and fall for her brother, so she warned her again and again: "My brother is a playboy! You absolutely must not fall for him!" A few weeks later, Gu Li asked Gu Yu to pick up Tang Ning, who was dead drunk. After taking her home, Gu Yu pinned her against the wall and whispered seductively in a low voice, "Want to date your big brother?" Tang Ning shook her head blearily. "But Gu Li wouldn't approve..." "Fine," Gu Yu said nonchalantly, lifting her chin like a seducer. He kissed her until her legs went weak. "Then we'll keep it from her and date in secret." [Bonus scene] They were officially dating, but because they were afraid Gu Li would find out, they still had to keep their relationship under wraps. Whenever Tang Ning called Gu Li "husband," Gu Yu would quietly reply from wherever Gu Li couldn't hear, "Yeah, wife." [The moment Gu Yu saw Tang Ning, he knew karma had finally caught up with him.] #Secretly getting frisky with your best friend's brother right under her nose# - Upcoming novel 2: "The Heart-Pounding Script" The hottest topic these days is undoubtedly the dating show "The Heart-Pounding Script," starring the top socialite Su Xinyuan and business tycoon Pei Cheng. Su Xinyuan was born into a wealthy family, has the sophisticated beauty of an idol-group member, and is also a hot new jewelry designer. Pei Cheng is known in his circles as an untouchable flower on a high peak: cool, strict, and refined. The two, who rarely appear in public, somehow ended up on a dating show together. The cast and premise were a surefire hit, and the show became an instant sensation as soon as it aired. Other dating shows promote themselves as unscripted reality TV. "The Heart-Pounding Script" takes the opposite approach, telling viewers that everything is scripted and that every couple will end up breaking up. Although everyone knows the whole thing is fake, the pair's intimate interactions are real, the chemistry in their eyes is real, and even the kissing scenes are real. When people began wondering if they had turned their on-screen romance into a real one, Su Xinyuan publicly stated, "All the sparks and heart-fluttering moments between us on the show are acting. Please don't take them seriously." The CP fans couldn't help sighing: We know it'll end badly, but we still want to ship them. In the final episode, the other dating shows held confession nights. But "The Heart-Pounding Script" had a breakup night, leaving a huge crowd of CP fans in tears. After the show ended, as required by their contracts, they unfollowed each other and deleted every Weibo post about the other. They didn't even make eye contact when they appeared on the same stage. They really gave their CP fans no reason to hope. Until six months later, a photo surfaced of the two kissing passionately on set. The script had called for a camera-angle kiss, but Pei Cheng really kissed her. The next day, #Pei Cheng Responds# trended. [Just to clarify: I haven't read the script, and I can't act.] CP fans: What? So you were being yourself the whole time? Pick me up, I can still ship them!!!! Later, it came out that they had been classmates in high school and were engaged. The woman had always made excuses to run away whenever the engagement came up, so the man joined the show to pursue her. *Innocent, proud, couture-level beauty X refined-looking business tycoon with a wicked side *One thinks it's all scripted and is afraid to fall for the other VS one has been playing himself all along *Actually, they're mutually in love, and the whole story is tooth-achingly sweet Core message: The dreams of youth are the most beautiful.
