A Lonely Heart's Secrets

Mutual crush / childhood sweethearts Cool-headed, rational police captain X tender, gentle dance student P1/ When Ning Tao was fourteen, her parents died, and her uncle abroad sent her to live with the Yu family. Yu Jinghe was aloof and principled, keeping others at a distance, but he treated her especially well. Ning Tao followed him around like a little tail, always calling him "Brother, Brother." She had a crush on Yu Jinghe for seven years. At last, one night during summer break in college, she worked up the courage to confess, emboldened by alcohol. But the man frowned and pushed her away, his eyes turning cold as he said quietly, "You're drunk." P2/ Who knew that later, at a class reunion, the young woman would come out with a group of classmates and see Yu Jinghe outside, leaning against a black Land Rover. Without his police uniform, the man looked less stern than usual, but his gaze was even harder to read. "All grown up now. Aren't you afraid of getting drunk?" Ning Tao turned her head, huffy and unwilling to look at him: "I don't need you to care." Yu Jinghe walked over. His clean scent surrounded her, and his low laugh made the young woman's ears burn red: "Not calling me Brother anymore?" P.S. 1. He's just the older brother next door.

Weibo: @BenLuoBei Upcoming: "When the Gods Begin to Love You" P1 Xu Yuan is sweet and pretty, but she has a stutter. Everyone around her looks down on her. On the day of her engagement, even her fiance stood her up. As if that weren't enough, she received a terminal diagnosis that very day: she had only one month left to live. She'd never been in love, and she'd never been loved. Looking at the few savings in her bank account, Xu Yuan made a decision: Before she died, she wanted to find herself some "end-of-life care." She had her eye on Sheng Yanshi, who often jogged nearby in the mornings. The man was tall, with striking features, and even looked a little like her celebrity crush. The stuttering girl summoned her courage and stopped him, holding a bouquet. "C-could you b-be my..." The man stopped and looked at her without expression. Xu Yuan was so frightened she couldn't speak, so she took out her little purse and showed him the stack of bills she'd prepared. "I c-could p-pay..." But the man suddenly reached out. He grabbed Xu Yuan's arm, then smiled faintly, his eyes dark. "I can." P2 Sheng Yanshi doted on her for over half a month. He taught her to ski and gently read her bedtime stories. The two even hit it off and got a marriage certificate. Even though Xu Yuan knew she'd paid for all of it. Unexpectedly, half a month later, the hospital said it had been a misdiagnosis. Looking at what little money she had left, Xu Yuan suddenly realized that there were things in life more important than love! She went to him and unilaterally proposed ending their agreement. But the man took off his gold-rimmed glasses, pressed down on the agreement for a few seconds, then narrowed his eyes. "We can end it, but settle the remaining balance first." Xu Yuan was stunned. "W-what?" Sheng Yanshi picked up a pen and paper. "I earn at least thirty thousand dollars a minute. I spent 21,600 minutes with you over half a month. Subtract the 160,000 you gave me, and the balance comes to 647,840,000." At the end, he smiled, but his eyes were cold: "So, do you think you can leave me?" Sheng Yanshi had his eye on a little stutterer. She had round eyes, like a naive little animal. He even drove to her neighborhood every morning to jog, just to catch a glimpse of her. But she had gone behind his back and gotten engaged to someone else. Until one day, the young woman came to him and asked if he would be her boyfriend. His little stutterer had delivered herself right into his hands. 1v1, both leads' first relationship, sweet happy ending Theme: Live life to the fullest.
