Guaranteed sweetness [Next Contemporary Romance] Love Sets the World Ablaze Qi Huan and Qu Jianshen grew up together. Even though Qu Jianshen was more handsome than the male stars in the entertainment industry, she'd never thought of him that way. Until her parents told her that their grandfathers had arranged a marriage between them long ago. Qi Huan's first instinct was to refuse, but the elders weren't willing to call off the engagement. So she asked a friend for ideas and decided to turn Qu Jianshen against the match too. Maybe then their parents would give up. Qi Huan: “The doctor says I won't live to see thirty. I don't want to drag you down with me.” Qu Jianshen: “What quack said that? Other people catch a fever after getting rained on, but you dance around like nothing happened. I don't believe it.” Qi Huan: “...” Qi Huan: “A handsome man like you is obviously going to attract women everywhere. You won't be faithful, so you're not husband material.” Qu Jianshen: “We can sign a prenup. If I ever cheat, all my assets will be yours, and I'll let you do whatever you want with me.” Qi Huan: “...” Qi Huan: “I already like someone else. We can't get married.” Qu Jianshen: “Bring them over and let me meet them. I don't mind if you keep another lover.” Qi Huan: ??? * After several rounds, Qi Huan had tried everything, but Qu Jianshen wouldn't budge. She pressed her lips together and demanded, “Qu Jianshen, what are you really up to? Do you actually want to marry me?” Qu Jianshen answered calmly, his gaze steady. “I do.” She was the woman he had dreamed of marrying day and night. How could he possibly give up so easily?

Otherwise, you're a dog.” “...” She had no training whatsoever, so she'd already prepared herself to be eliminated. When an interviewer asked what ranking she hoped to get, Wen Tang replied with a cheerful smile: “I'm not very good, so I'll probably be out in the first round.” Then the fans voted her into first place. Wen Tang: ??? * Xu Jinzuo had released several hit songs that took the internet by storm in just three years since his debut. His voice, like the sound of a violin, had won countless fans, and his face was practically divine. When the talent show THE QUEEN announced Xu Jinzuo as a mentor, everyone was shocked. During the first-stage evaluations, Xu Jinzuo's harsh and cutting critiques left the contestants shaken. “Even elementary school kids doing their morning exercises would be more entertaining than that.” “Maybe it's just a little better than noise.” Wen Tang never expected to run into Xu Jinzuo again after all these years, let alone in a situation like this. She figured her performance would be bad enough to make Xu Jinzuo storm off in a rage. When her turn came, she sang with a trembling voice, barely hitting a single note. The studio fell silent as everyone waited for Xu Jinzuo to tear her apart. Instead, Xu Jinzuo smiled and said, “There's plenty of room for improvement.” Everyone: ??? * After the show aired, anyone could see that Xu Jinzuo was holding Wen Tang to a different standard, and rumors began to spread. Then behind-the-scenes footage from the show captured the two of them talking. Wen Tang sounded a little anxious. “We grew up together, at least. Could you hurry up and eliminate me?” Xu Jinzuo replied with an almost-smile, “Do I look like the kind of person who'd show favoritism?” Netizens: ? I think I just heard something unbelievable!
