Planned for a Long Time

Marriage first, love later | Male lead has a secret crush Vulgar social climber and arrogant little rose x restrained, devoted CEO who hides his feelings 1. The Xie family went bankrupt, and everyone was waiting to laugh at Xie Tang. They said the arrogant, overindulgent heiress was finally getting what she deserved. But then, the day Qin Yan returned from abroad to take over the Qin Group, he came to her with a check. He said he needed a wife who could keep all the Qin family's demons and monsters in line. So Miss Xie didn't get what was coming to her after all. Instead, she turned around and became the glamorous Mrs. Qin. 2. Everyone knew the Qin couple were famous for being deeply in love, and that it wasn't an act. Someone had once seen them cuddling in a secluded corner of the beach, where there was no need to put on a show. Mrs. Qin was earnestly talking to Mr. Qin, her face blushing shyly. But actually... In that beachside corner, Xie Tang was earnestly saying, "Boss, you said I played the role of Mrs. Qin so well that I deserved a special leave. So it's perfectly reasonable for me to relax out at sea, right?" Boss Qin looked toward the yacht in the distance, where the male models couldn't even keep their clothes on. With a fake smile, he leaned close and whispered that he would dock her Outstanding Employee of the Year award for wealthy wives and confiscate the Birkin he'd just bought her. And so Xie Tang's face turned red. With anger. 3. As a teenager, Qin Yan had been reduced to living on the streets of a foreign country, poor and helpless, struggling through humiliation and hardship, rolling in the mud and fighting to survive amid filth. During the hardest times, he always clutched a little rose-shaped keychain in his hand. The keychain had been tucked into a black down jacket. On a night of heavy snow, a girl passing by had draped the jacket over him, forgetting the keychain in its pocket. From then on, a rose took root in his heart. That flower had once bloomed freely beneath the sun. Then the soil that nurtured her grew barren and died. Qin Yan had been plotting for a long time. He carried her home, nourished her with his own blood and flesh, and let her keep blooming wildly. "The Pretty Older Brother Next Door" Childhood sweethearts / Reunited after years apart Talkative, cool little girl x aloof, calculating beauty 1 The Shen family went bankrupt. Their only son was kidnapped and later found, and the family moved to an old residential neighborhood in their hometown. Young master Shen Sijin grew frail, gloomy, and withdrawn. Xu Jianan had been a sucker for pretty faces since she was little, and she fell for the handsome boy who had just moved in at first sight. She shared animal-shaped cookies with him, gave him the little red flowers her teacher had rewarded her with, and even dragged him into playing house. Just like in the TV dramas, she held her doll and called Shen Sijin the father of her child. Wanting a couple more strawberry candies, she solemnly took Shen Sijin's hand and told him she was pregnant, so all the snacks had to go to the child's mother. The young boy had no idea how to handle her antics. His beautiful face nearly cracked, but he still bought her lots of strawberry candies to cheer her up. Unfortunately, before their baby could be born, something happened to the Xu family, and they moved away. After the little sunshine left without saying goodbye, Shen Sijin stood in the empty doorway through countless days and nights. Much later, in an upscale Western restaurant... When Xu Jianan caught her boyfriend cheating, she grabbed a glass of red wine, ready to pour it over the scumbag's head. But he reacted too fast, and the wine splashed all over the expensive suit of the man behind her. The scumbag turned around and went weak in the knees. "Damn, boss!" Xu Jianan looked up, shocked. "Damn, the father of my child!" 2 Later, as they lay entwined, Shen Sijin would hold her waist and murmur in confusion, "You tricked me into giving you so many candies. When are you finally going to give birth to the baby you were carrying for me back then?" Xu Jianan: "..." All she wanted back then was a few more candies. Who could've guessed the payback would still come after all these years? :) "Taming" Rebellious heiress x cold family patriarch Age gap 1. Xiao Yu was an idle rich kid, wild and unruly, and estranged from her high-achieving parents. But the company was doing worse and worse, so her mother came to her in the middle of her busy schedule with a simple ultimatum: if Xiao Yu wanted to keep her sports cars, yachts, and rare skins, she'd have to pull her weight for the Xiao family. So Xiao Yu set her sights on Jiang Xu, the young master of the wealthiest family, the Jiangs. She racked her brains, planning to start by becoming his date. But things got off to a bad start. She got into a fight with the obnoxious young master, and was taken home on the spot. Later, Xiao Yu saw Jiang Xu, who acted like a fighting cock in front of her, standing at attention after being punished by his second uncle. The new head of the Jiang family wore a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, his sleeves rolled up slightly and a hardback book in hand. He had the air of a scholar, but when his indifferent gaze swept across the room, it was like a biting wind blowing through the dead of winter. He didn't say a word, yet Jiang Xu cowered, shrinking his neck and not daring to utter a peep. That day, Xiao Yu made up her mind. Being his date was boring. She would become his second aunt. 2. Jiang Yuanqiu found the whole thing absurd. Because lately, a little con artist had been hounding him. The girl sweetly called him Second Uncle, but then she went and gave him a pair of outrageous leather armbands studded with rivets. They were absolutely not an appropriate gift for an elder. Before she could get her way, Jiang Yuanqiu decided, he first needed to teach her... what honesty meant. And what being faithful meant. Theme: Believe in yourself even when facing adversity
