Zhou Xiaoxiao is a kindergarten teacher with excellent conduct, and she was born with an ever-present smile.

She works nine to five and leads a life as ordinary as it gets.

Until one day, Xie Xingci climbs over the wall and jumps into the kindergarten, frightening the little kids and accidentally stealing her first kiss.

Afterward, he even acts like he owns the world. "Do you know who I am?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao calmly calls 110. "No, but I can ask the police in a minute."

Xie Xingci: "..."

Xie Xingci is a creative genius in the entertainment industry, with a notoriously sour face.

Then a plagiarism scandal hits, and the public first hoists him up high, then drags him through the mud.

Everyone bets he won't recover, but an unexpected video makes him a sensation online again.

In the video, the young man has shed his usual arrogance. Wearing a white shirt, he sits by the roadside and softly sings as he plays guitar. The crowd around him is bustling, but the stars in his eyes shine only for one little girl.

When the song ends, he gets up and walks over to her, holding out his hand and treating her with gentle patience.

"Welcome home, Zhou Xiaoxiao."

Gentle kindergarten teacher x short-tempered singer

Ruan Qiuqiu, heiress of the Ming'an Group, has never had much luck with men. Even her childhood friend, whom she'd grown up with, never became anything more than a friend. Then at his engagement party, she mistakes grape wine for grape juice and drinks it, and the gossip spreads that she's drowning her sorrows over a broken heart.

The next day, Ruan Qiuqiu wakes up in bed, rubbing her pounding head, and sees a handsome young man with dark eyes beside her.

Oh no. She messed up.

Yu Shi'an has just entered the entertainment industry. He has no money or connections, and his unscrupulous agent drags him to a drinking party. Someone slips him a drug, though he doesn't know who.

He wakes up after one wild night.

To his surprise, the young woman gets attached to him, buying him the stars and the moon, arranging a brilliant career for him, and cheerfully saying she has to take responsibility for him.

Later, Yu Shi'an learns that she already has a childhood friend she's "deeply in love with," and that he's nothing more than a canary she can toy with as she pleases.

Yu Shi'an's face turns cold. He digs his fingers into his palm until they draw blood and lashes out at her. "Stop following me. I hate fake pity like yours."

The young woman presses her lips together and walks away without looking back.

At a later banquet, the young woman who used to follow him everywhere wears a custom-made gown, her delicate features framed by bare shoulders. She chats and laughs with the childhood friend everyone talks about, without sparing Yu Shi'an so much as a glance.

For the first time, Yu Shi'an loses control.

Ignoring the people around him, he drags her into a corner and hides her away.

He lowers his head, crushing his pride, his voice hoarse yet restrained.

"Even if it's pity, could you look only at me?"

[The novel after next, The Loser, advance notice]

Shen Changge and Fu Shiyu first meet at a bidding conference. Everyone says the Fu family is fighting tooth and nail for the project so they can drive the once-impoverished Shen family to the brink, then take them over.

No one expects Shen Changge, the Shen family's heiress, to meticulously stage a car accident, injuring one of her own arms just to sway public opinion and make Fu Shiyu out to be a sinister, ruthless villain.

The Fu family loses the bid.

Looking at Shen Changge, whose wound is still bleeding after she'd hurt herself to make her act convincing, Fu Shiyu says evenly, "Miss Shen, hurting your enemy a thousand times at the cost of injuring yourself eight hundred times isn't what a clever person would do."

Shen Changge lowers her eyes without replying. She wraps white gauze around the wound without so much as furrowing her brow.

She smiles faintly. "But I still won, didn't I, Mr. Fu?"

*

It's an open secret among industry insiders that Miss Shen and Mr. Fu are sworn enemies.

Later, a fearless business magazine interviews the two legendary powerhouses. One is elegant and radiant, the other noble and handsome. They don't exchange a single glance throughout the interview, and the atmosphere is tense and silent.

The young reporter trembles. "One last question. If you had to describe each other in one word, what would it be?"

Shen Changge doesn't even turn her head. "Loser."

Fu Shiyu glances at the woman beside him, then suddenly lets the corner of his mouth lift. "My ideal person."

-At first, all he wanted was to drive her to the brink.

-Later, he was willing to be her defeated opponent.

The down-on-her-luck but still formidable Miss Shen x the formidable Mr. Fu, who falls into her hands

Theme: I love you.
