-How long can a youthful crush last?

-Hidden in the heart, it still makes you giddy with joy when you meet again.

Su Shiwei had kept someone in her heart for so long that she'd almost forgotten she was still in love with him.

The story begins with this:

A seventeen-year-old boy in his school uniform sat by the classroom window on a lazy afternoon. One glance was all it took for her to fall for him.

It was a secret from her youth, never spoken aloud.

-

The biggest entertainment-industry news that year was Su Shiwei signing Shen Yunchen.

Everyone knew that Shen Yunchen was an actor his former agency had spent a year throwing resources at, without ever making him famous.

Su Shiwei, meanwhile, was a top agent every entertainer wanted to get to know.

Everyone thought Su Shiwei had lost her mind for a moment. They dismissed it as idle dinner-table gossip and soon forgot about it.

But Xu Wei, who had worked with Su Shiwei for years, knew she'd meant business.

A light appeared in her eyes, and a long-hidden secret was quietly awakened.

-

Shen Yunchen had been called an actor who got by on resources since his debut, yet still couldn't become popular. People mocked him and laughed at him.

Only Su Shiwei believed he would become a huge star.

As he slowly discovered her secret, he learned that someone had held him in her heart for so long.

This time, he would be the one to love her more.

-

After years in the industry, Shen Yunchen had never had a scandal and kept a spotless reputation. But after an awards ceremony, paparazzi caught him on camera:

Beneath the moonlight, his eyes were tender as he lowered his head with great care and kissed the woman in his arms.

From then on, his eyes held love for no one but her.

"Thank goodness we didn't miss each other again."

* Top agent falls for an unpopular actor who's been handed every resource

* Neither lead is blinded by love

* Both are each other's one and only, from beginning to end

"The Galaxy Never Sleeps" blurb

Question: How does it feel when your ex-girlfriend suddenly turns out to be the heiress of a family that's been close to yours for generations?

Lu Yan's answer: It's a classic case of the early bird getting the worm.

-

Lu Yan was born a golden boy. With his excellent family background and handsome face, everyone called him "bro". But no one knew he had suffered setbacks, too.

At his grandfather's command, he attended the eightieth birthday party of the Xia family patriarch. Officially, he was there to offer birthday wishes. In reality, he was supposed to get to know the Xia family's daughter.

It was an arranged marriage for business. Anyone could see that.

When his friends slung an arm around his neck and asked how the matchmaking had gone, Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and answered calmly, "I haven't even met her yet."

His friends exchanged baffled looks. They'd just seen him standing face-to-face with the Xia family's daughter, so how could he claim not to have seen her?

When they looked again, Lu Yan was nowhere to be found.

A moment later, they spotted him picking on a girl.

But who was she?

-

Lu Yan had never imagined that they would meet again so suddenly. He watched the young woman sitting alone on a sofa in the corner, dressed in an expensive evening gown, holding a glass of wine and coldly observing all the sycophants.

Her stubborn nature set her apart from the socialites and young masters around her. He didn't know why she was there. He only knew that this time, he wouldn't let her go.

-

Xia Lining didn't expect their second meeting after their reunion to come so soon. Remembering how Lu Yan had snatched her wineglass last time, she found it hard to be nice to him.

But for work's sake, she held her tongue and smiled as she asked him to appear on the cover of the magazine's latest issue.

Lu Yan leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, grinning roguishly. "How about you become my fiancée?"

"..." This guy was such a jerk.

-

Everyone knew the Lu and Xia families were going to arrange a marriage. They just hadn't expected Lu Yan to marry the Xia family's newly reunited biological granddaughter.

Their romance was so passionate that everyone knew how much Lu Yan doted on Xia Lining.

If she wanted the moon, he'd climb up to pluck it for her.

If she was wronged, he made sure the person responsible paid for it.

-

I once embraced the world and witnessed its desolation. In the end, I still ran to you and held you in a passionate kiss.

* Both are each other's first love

* Proud, spirited princess x young master who treats her like royalty

Theme: Love and career can be balanced
