Seven years ago, Lu Yu confessed to Li Manqing on the school basketball court. She ran away.

Seven years later, an accident led Li Manqing to hit him with her car.

After taking him to the hospital, she hesitated before saying, "Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility."

Lu Yu hid the curve of his lips and put on a sickly expression. "Then I'll be in your care."

He moved into her home. Later, when Li Manqing got sick, Lu Yu stayed by her side to care for her and lost his job as a result.

To make it up to him, she asked an old friend to find him a job at a private museum.

She watched as a staff member took his hand, tears in her eyes. "Director, you're finally back."

Li Manqing: "?"

-

One night, sitting across from each other by the window, Lu Yu said, "Manqing, we've already lost too much time."

Li Manqing murmured, "Mm," looked up, and gently kissed him.

New Book: I Think of Her to the Bone

In the past, Shen Qing, the only daughter of the Shen family, was doted on by everyone. The one who spoiled her most was Xie Chen.

Xie Chen wasn't her biological brother, but he was more than a brother to her. He indulged Shen Qing so much that she became willful and unrestrained, making everyone around her envious and jealous.

Shen Qing examined her nails and said nonchalantly, "Then let them be jealous. He's my brother, and he only spoils me, his little sister."

But later, their relationship suddenly turned sour.

Only then did Shen Qing realize that Xie Chen wouldn't be her brother forever.

-

Years later, Shen Qing concealed her identity and made her way in the entertainment industry. At an event, she happened to overhear a director telling her agent to send her to him.

Shen Qing immediately took off her heels and smashed the director over the head with one.

Her agent shouted angrily, "Are you crazy? If you want to be famous, stop pretending to be too good for this! Nobody here is going to indulge you!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, someone flung the agent backward onto the champagne table.

Behind her, a handsome man calmly straightened his cuffs, his air one of effortless nobility.

In front of everyone, Xie Chen draped his coat over Shen Qing and said coolly:

"I'm the one who indulges her."

-

As the hottest actress in the entertainment industry, Shen Qing had a pair of eyes that could captivate anyone. She had a steady stream of acclaimed roles, along with endless rumors and scandals. She had plenty of fans and haters alike.

One day, Shen Qing suddenly became the first ambassador for an exclusive luxury brand.

"She's always getting amazing opportunities! She must be kept by some big shot!"

The paparazzi rushed out, only to photograph her strolling hand in hand with an impossibly handsome young man.

"She's keeping a pretty boy behind her sugar daddy's back! I hear her sugar daddy is about to dump her!"

Shen Qing posted on Weibo: "..."

An account with a string of numbers for a name and a gray profile picture commented: "I'm the pretty boy?"

Among the thousands of replies, Shen Qing found the "zombie account" and replied: "If they say you are, then I guess you are."

A little later, the luxury brand reposted the zombie account's comment: "Boss [smiling face]"

The brand's parent company, Asia's largest luxury goods group, reposted it too: "Showing off your love!"

Shen Nan of the Shen Group, the dream man of countless young women, reposted: "My little sister and brother-in-law."

Netizens were left dumbfounded:

The pretty boy and the sugar daddy were the same person! Shen Qing was the heiress of the Shen family! I'm the real clown here!

You are the deepest desire buried in my bones through my endless nights
