Original title: "Allowing a Secret Love"

Years later, when Luo Yang returned to the country, she had blossomed into a beauty, with a beauty mark beneath her lip that could steal anyone's heart when she smiled. Though she had plenty of admirers, no one could enter her heart. Everyone thought no one was lucky enough to win the affections of such an independent, mature, and aloof beauty.

*

But one rainy night, she was photographed crying uncontrollably, drenched from head to toe and as helpless as a little kitten.

Netizens gossiped: What good is being so capable? She's still a wretched girl abandoned by the Luo family!

But the story took a sudden turn. A tabloid caught what happened next: the elegant young master of the Ye family, wearing a white shirt soaked through by the rain, held Luo Yang tightly and kissed her forehead.

A rose tattoo could be faintly seen at his waist through the nearly transparent shirt. Everyone was curious, but no one knew its story. Some speculated that it was for the moonlight in his heart.

No one knew that on the night Luo Yang ran a fever, Ye Gu never closed his eyes. Holding her hand, he murmured again and again, "There's no one else in my heart. There never has been. It's always been you."

Later, in an interview about finance, a reporter asked him about his tattoo. Ye Gu lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. "My wife once grew a rose. Sadly, it withered, so this rose will bloom for her forever."

Netizens: Sob! Another day of crying over a beautiful love story!!!

*

Ye Gu, a leading figure in the business world, came from a wealthy family and had an unpredictable, volatile personality. Countless women loved and feared him, admiring him from afar but never daring to approach.

At a banquet hosted by a business group, the two kept their distance. Netizens all said: As expected, it's a marriage in name only, with no real feelings!

Rumors spread everywhere, while the society ladies mocked Luo Yang as nothing more than a disgraced, disfavored daughter of the Luo family with a title in name only.

Countless people waited to see her make a fool of herself, to see Ye Gu kick her out of the Ye family.

But then someone unexpectedly photographed the aloof man, the darling of heaven, standing in a suit outside a shop selling black rice cakes on Changnan Street, waiting in line to buy some?!!!

*

The next day, at the end of a business interview:

Reporter: I never expected you to be a fan of the food on Changnan Street, Young Master Ye!

Ye Gu parted his thin lips, turned his wedding ring, and smiled with dazzling warmth: Mm. My wife loves it.

Gentle but sharp-tongued aloof beauty X unconventional, free-spirited CEO

A secret crush turns into true love, and both pursue each other

Upcoming novel "Pick Me for Romance, I'm Super Sweet" has the following blurb:

Sweet girl-group idol who charms straight men X useless-at-singing-and-dancing boy-band alum

Jiang Keke X Xu Yan

In the entertainment industry, a cesspool where no one dares go near him, there is Xu Yan.

He's no god. He's a demon.

Since entering the industry, no one has figured out the background behind him, but his imposing presence always sends a chill down their spines.

He has two rules for choosing roles:

1. He only plays villains.

2. No intimate scenes.

Despite such a narrow range of roles, he repeatedly boosts box-office records all by himself. He was born to be an actor.

Everyone knows Xu Yan is unpredictable. That is, until he played an obsessive patient, got too deep into the role, and went berserk on set. His cold, bloodless gaze left no one daring to approach.

At a tense standoff, his agent made a phone call.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Keke, a talented singer and dancer who had come from a girl group, arrived on set.

There had always been rumors that Jiang Keke and Xu Yan didn't get along, so everyone watched nervously from a distance.

Jiang Keke crouched down and asked softly, "Didn't we agree you wouldn't lose your temper for no reason?"

Xu Yan pressed his lips together and said nothing. The crew watched his cold expression and gasped, silently mourning for Jiang Keke.

"Then give me a hug."

"If you hug me, I won't lose my temper."

Jiang Keke didn't move. Xu Yan suddenly looked up at her with a wounded expression and pulled her hand onto his head.

"My hair is really soft today. Aren't you going to pet me?"

Everyone: ??? Is this really the Demon King? He's more like a puppy...

///

Jiang Keke was a talented singer and dancer, and she probably didn't know why she ended up marrying Xu Yan, who couldn't sing or dance to save his life.

Maybe the weather was just so nice that day, she felt bad not getting a marriage certificate.

-Look at the flowers, the sea, the snow, and the sunset, then get married. That's the proper order.

-I mean, let's spend all four seasons together, then get married.
