[Upcoming: Slow Burn or Spoiled Milk Candy. Please add them to your list!] Here's the blurb for upcoming story Slow Burn. Please add it to your list. Childhood friends, unrequited love [Slow-Burning Female Lead x Scheming Male Lead] "I think I've liked you for a long time, so long that whenever I see you, my heart reminds me that I should confess." Ji Xinlan and Shen Chuanyu had been part of each other's lives for as long as they could remember. They lived in the same residential complex, in the same building. They were even in the same class from kindergarten through middle school. They were separated in high school when they were assigned to different academic tracks, but they still went home together during breaks. They thought they'd finally be apart at university, but they ended up at the same school. Even though they had different majors, they joined the same club. All of this was carefully planned by Shen Chuanyu, step by step. He couldn't let Ji Xinlan get too far away from him. He'd lose control. Ji Xinlan seemed to be missing the part of her brain that dealt with romance. People had confessed to her in both high school and university, and she'd answered them with a slight frown and complete sincerity: "I hope you'll focus on your studies, classmate." Shen Chuanyu, hiding nearby and listening, nearly laughed out loud at her answer. That was his Xinlan, all right. Ji Xinlan wasn't sensitive to matters of love, but during a club activity in her sophomore year, she accidentally found out that Shen Chuanyu liked her. She wanted to see how long he would keep hiding it. Ever since eighth grade, Ji Xinlan had received a love letter on her birthday every year. The love in the letters grew more ardent year by year, and in her sophomore year, Ji Xinlan discovered who the lunatic was. A little scene: Ji Xinlan narrowed her eyes and interrogated him. "Shen Chuanyu, you're pretty clever, writing me love letters with your left hand. And please explain what those explicit things you wrote after we started university mean." Shen Chuanyu replied calmly, "They mean exactly what they say. This isn't the right place to show you. Let's go home first." His answer made Ji Xinlan feel like she was about to start smoking from embarrassment. She shoved Shen Chuanyu away. "Who said I wanted you to show me!" One-on-one, both pure, happy ending. [Note] The following is the actual blurb for this story! Before she turned eighteen, Yuan Wanshu's life had been arranged down to the smallest detail. She was a tool in the hands of her "parents," who even controlled her personality. Her "parents" had designed a perfect persona for her, and she was forced to play along. Every day, lying in bed, she told herself to hold on a little longer. Just a little longer, and it would be over. She could be herself again. As Yuan Wanshu prepared to start university, her family told her she had a fiance. What? How had she not known? Her family explained that it was an arranged marriage from childhood, with no obligation. If they spent time together and decided they weren't right for each other, that would be that. As for how they would spend time together... When the university's new students were starting the school year, her mother said she wouldn't be able to look after her while she was studying away from home, and promptly packed her off to live with a boyfriend she'd never met. Zhou Yanqian got home from working overtime at ten that night. When he opened the door, he saw the fiancee his parents had told him about. Apparently, she was a very obedient, good girl, and quite timid too. He took off his suit, sat down, and said, "Hello, I'm Zhou Yanqian. I should tell you in advance that I don't intend to get married." Yuan Wanshu struggled to suppress a smile. "All right." Yuan Wanshu (18) x Zhou Yanqian (23) Content warnings: 1. One-on-one, both pure, happy ending. 2. The female lead acts obedient for a reason. She is the beginning of a secret, and its end. 3. The author's ability is limited, and I can't please everyone.

[Female lead who only wants to make money x Male lead who has become deeply twisted] During the hardest time in her life, Su Baijia once tried eating just one two-yuan steamed bun a day, half for lunch and half for dinner. That's why she loves her life now. After graduating, she landed a job as an accountant at a company. It isn't a big company, but she gets weekends off, her salary goes up every year, and she gets along well with her boss and colleagues. She has nothing to complain about. Recently, though, a colleague told her the company had been acquired. Su Baijia's heart skipped a beat. She had a part-time job after work, and her previous boss knew about it and didn't mind. What if the new boss did? Most bosses probably didn't like their employees having another job after work. After work, Su Baijia worked as a cashier at the supermarket in her residential complex. But recently, the owner told her that the supermarket had been acquired. The owner was delighted, saying she could finally retire early. Su Baijia was baffled. Could it really be such a coincidence? Had she walked under a ladder or something? Jiang Zhixun was looking for someone. She had said that she would come find him before she turned twenty, but she still hadn't shown up. He worried that perhaps she was having a hard time and couldn't come find him. When he finally found her, she was doing better than he'd imagined. Every day, seeing her smile at strangers made Jiang Zhixun clench his back teeth and smile bitterly. He had also looked into her finances. Su Baijia's two jobs paid a combined monthly salary of over 8,000 yuan. She sent two or three thousand to the woman who cared for them at the orphanage, and still had five or six thousand left. Was she really unable to afford a plane ticket costing around a thousand yuan to come see him? And the orphanage had his new phone number, so why hadn't she called? The little boy who loved milk candy and hid behind Su Baijia whenever other kids bullied him was gone. Jiang Zhixun watched from a distance as Su Baijia sorted the supermarket goods. The corner of his mouth slowly lifted. "Sis, since you don't remember the promise you made back then, you'd better not blame me for what happens next." One-on-one, both pure, happy ending. Female lead is 25, male lead is 22. Theme: Face life with a positive attitude.
