Chen Yanchu: Who else is this impressive? I became my own love rival, then my own replacement, and spent the whole time getting jealous of myself. 1 In public, Li Wanqian is just like her name: a gentle, responsible, beautiful homeroom teacher for senior-year students. In private, Li Wanqian has lived by the idea that "It's exhausting to like only one person. I'm going to like ten" since she was little. So Li Wanqian falls for three men. One is the husband she picked out for herself when she was a child. One is a thoughtful online friend. And one is the school doctor who always has her back. 2 One day, at a gathering, Li Wanqian draws the question "Do you have someone you like?" during Truth or Dare. She pauses for a few seconds, then smiles, unable to hide the affection in her eyes. "Yes." After that, all her friends know she has a longtime unrequited love, someone she's liked for years but never got together with. Chen Yanchu has a secret he has never spoken aloud: he has loved one girl for twenty years. So he pretends to be an online friend, carefully chipping away at Li Wanqian's idealized first love and slowly taking over her heart. He thought he'd finally outlasted the man she loved, only to learn she'd been treating him as a replacement for himself? Fine, he'll be the replacement. Even a replacement gets his chance to take the place of the original one day. At last, as their senior year comes to an end, Chen Yanchu confesses the love he's hidden for over twenty years. But after hearing him out, Li Wanqian rejects him without a change in expression. "I'm sorry. I like someone I met online." As soon as the words leave her mouth, Chen Yanchu asks in a slightly hoarse voice, "How do you know that person can't be me?" Only after they get together does Chen Yanchu learn that he himself was Li Wanqian's idealized first love. Chen Yanchu: So I went through all that trouble just to replace myself?

Sweet Orange-Flavored Love Sweet, sheltered heiress x rugged frontier soldier Chen Cheng has a secret: she likes her brother's friend. When she is eighteen, she chases him all the way to a snowy mountain on the country's frontier, only to have the man who once gave her warmth look at her coldly and say something heartless. "Chen Cheng, does the Chen family always repay kindness by demanding something in return? I hope you'll come to your senses. I only think of you as my little sister." That day, Chen Cheng fled in shame and anger. Shen Yuanzhan succeeds in driving Chen Cheng away, but soon regrets it. By a twist of fate, he becomes her military training instructor, but the young woman seems unwilling to give him the time of day. During military training, Shen Yuanzhan pins Chen Cheng in a corner. Her cheeks are flushed, and she's both embarrassed and angry. She can't understand why this man, who used to find her so irritating, changed his tune after just a few months. "Shen Yuanzhan, you said it yourself. You're my older brother." Chen Cheng's words hit him right in the heart. Shen Yuanzhan shamelessly tries to make amends, twirling a strand of her hair around his finger as he replies in a hoarse voice: "Mm, I'm your older brother, but I'm the kind who wants to be your lover." After Chen Cheng turns him down again and again, Shen Yuanzhan launches an utterly shameless campaign to win her back, constantly showering her with cheesy lines. "Miss, I'm broke, so I want to marry into your family." "Miss, I don't have any grand ambitions in life. I just want to spend it by your side." "Miss, please, have a little pity on your big brother." Chen Cheng used to think Shen Yuanzhan was steady, handsome, and responsible. Now she just thinks he's shameless. Reader's Guide A groveling-to-win-her-back romance. When they meet, the female lead is seventeen and the male lead hasn't graduated from college. Both leads have only ever been with each other, so jump right in. This isn't professionally researched, so please don't overanalyze it. Preorder Blurb Forced to Become Famous Among Taoists to Make a Living A beautiful, sharp-minded, fiercely protective god x a spirited girl born with supernatural powers One day, a god walks into Ning Qingxiang's home and gets saddled with a Cinderella-like curse: no matter where he is or what he's doing, he'll suddenly reappear at her place at midnight. Ning Qingxiang thinks she's landed herself a god who'll bring her wealth and help her lose weight, and that her life is about to hit its peak. Then she discovers things have gone just a little bit off plan. Instead of good fortune, the god brings... A fire phoenix, blazing from head to toe and flapping around so wildly it nearly burns down her rental. A gold-devouring beast that eats only "a tiny bite" each day, but still devours her entire month's salary. A group of gods who claim they're visiting their injured boss, but are really slacking off on Earth and throwing a party at her place. To make a living, Ning Qingxiang, who can see things ordinary people can't, makes her official debut among Taoists with a peach-blossom sword she picked up for two hundred yuan on Antique Street. Half a year later, the little Taoist who appeared out of nowhere, Ning Qingxiang, has become famous throughout the Taoist world. But what people find even more intriguing is the mysterious man always at her side, protecting her. Theme: If you keep striving to live, you'll find the good things life has to offer.
