Never Lose [Showbiz]

[Coming Soon] Don't Fall for Him: Getting all hot and heavy with my best friend's brother right under her nose The Script of a Beating Heart: Meeting my arranged-marriage partner on a dating show [Blurb] Lu Jin is a ruthless business tycoon whom no one dares to offend. During the two years Shen Zhihuan was with him, she was obedient and compliant. Everyone said Lu Jin doted on her. Only she knew he didn't love her. He was madly in love with his unattainable first love, whose features resembled hers. The only time Shen Zhihuan ever defied Lu Jin, she did whatever it took to land a role opposite Gu Xingci, a top-tier star. Gu Xingci is elegant and refined, warm and distinguished. Since his debut, he has had no scandals or bad press. While filming, Shen Zhihuan carefully kept her distance from Gu Xingci off camera. On the anniversary of her parents' deaths, Gu Xingci accompanied her to visit their graves. That was when he learned her real name was Shen Yi. Shen Zhihuan warned herself that the feelings belonged to their characters. Gu Xingci had simply gotten too deep into his role and started treating her like the heroine of the story. Until, in the middle of filming an intimate scene, Gu Xingci softly whispered in her ear, "Yiyi." Unable to deny her feelings any longer, Shen Zhihuan resolutely decided to leave Lu Jin. Furious, Lu Jin cut off all her resources, waiting for her to come back and apologize. At the wrap party, Shen Zhihuan said goodbye to Gu Xingci, but he pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. He nuzzled her shoulder, reluctant to let go. "Come with me. I won't let you lose." After their relationship went public, everyone thought Gu Xingci would be blacklisted for going against the powers that be. Then, to everyone's surprise, news broke that he was the low-key, mysterious second son of the richest family in the country. What's more, he was also the first love of Lu Jin's first love. [Bonus Scene] Shen Zhihuan had been afraid of the dark her entire life. Rumor had it that Gu Xingci later bought her a house where she could look up and see the stars. When he proposed, he told her, "When night falls, I'll take you home. From now on, I'll keep you in the light for the rest of your life." #I'mYourFirstLove'sFirstLove'sFirstLove# *Down-on-her-luck, aloof beauty x the gentlest top-tier star *The heroine's name is pronounced Zhihuan (huan). *The world's gentlest second male lead gets his happy ending, while the first male lead gets reduced to dust.

Her father, Mr. Qu, has doted on her since she was little, and the only man he considers worthy of her is Ji Shiqing, the head of the Ji family. Worried that bringing up an arranged marriage would make things awkward between them, Mr. Qu came up with a plan to get them together. At her first solo concert after returning to the country, Qu Zhi wore a red mermaid gown that showed off her waist and graceful curves. After the final piece, her eyes glimmered as she bowed and looked toward the center of the audience. The man wore a black suit. Gentle and profound, he applauded with refined grace, his dark eyes fixed on her, deep and unreadable. Later, when Ji Shiqing's five-year-old niece, Ji Jingjing, wanted to learn piano, Qu Zhi made an exception and took her on as her final student, out of friendship between their families. Unexpectedly, Ji Shiqing accompanied her to every lesson. Ji Jingjing hated practicing and often threw tantrums. One day, after she'd been crying for half an hour, Ji Shiqing led her outside. The little girl was crying so hard it broke your heart. "Uncle, I don't want to play piano anymore!" "But then Uncle won't get to see Teacher Qu," Ji Shiqing said, kneeling on one knee and gently stroking the girl's hair as he soothed her. "How about you stop learning once Teacher Qu agrees to marry Uncle?" After the two got engaged, Qu Zhi asked Ji Jingjing, "Your uncle said you didn't want to learn piano anymore?" "No, I love playing piano. That time, Uncle told me to act it out." Ji Jingjing reenacted the scene with dramatic flair. "He even told me to cry more pitifully, so you'd feel sorry for me." At night, at the banquet, the elegant gentleman, usually so refined, had had a little too much to drink. He pressed his lips to Qu Zhi's earlobe, seductively wicked. "Zhi Zhi, I've been waiting a long time for this day..." *Gentle scoundrel x celestial beauty *Male lead: gentle and aloof on the surface, but with eight hundred schemes up his sleeve. Female lead: a beautiful, peerless piano prodigy *Five-year age gap A recommendation for a wonderful novel by a friend!!! Married Life, Then Falling in Love by Xi Zi Yi Xiao Shang Huaizhou is famously cold and indifferent in business circles, with little regard for others. He embodies the stereotype of a businessman who cares only about profit, and his life plan is so perfect it seems impossible to improve upon. At twenty-eight, Shang Huaizhou was considering an arranged marriage when his grandfather told him that the family had chosen a fiancée for him years ago. She had lived at his house for a while as a child and had been quite a handful. The first time they met, she was still a tiny little thing, but bold enough to kiss him. Her round eyes glittered with sly delight as she said in a babyish voice, "Big Brother, wait for me. When I grow up, I'm going to marry you." Then, in the blink of an eye, the little girl disappeared. Before meeting Jiang Li, Shang Huaizhou thought up a whole list of ways to make her suffer. But when he saw her again, she was sitting quietly in the sunroom at his house, wearing a vintage dress and holding an ancient parchment scroll. Her slender fingers and milky-white skin made her look as if she'd grown up bathing in milk. She gave him a gentle smile. Shang Huaizhou couldn't bring himself to say a single harsh word to her. * After they got married, Shang Huaizhou discovered a problem: the clingy little girl from his childhood not only didn't cling to him, but was often nowhere to be found at night. She was a tiny dance performer, yet somehow busier than he was. Lately, after they were intimate, she had even started sleeping somewhere other than the master bedroom. Even when they were under the same roof, she would frown whenever she saw him. She was even more secretive about their relationship than he was. Shang Huaizhou was restless and frustrated. * Jiang Li knew Shang Huaizhou had been difficult to get along with since childhood. She planned to stick strictly to their agreement. But Shang Huaizhou, the one who'd made the rules, didn't keep his word. After they got together, he found all kinds of ways to tease and torment her. Jiang Li's eyes were red from his teasing, her soft lips full of grievance. "Shang Huaizhou, you're going too far. Why do you have to bully me like this?" His eyes betrayed his restraint as his low, bewitching voice murmured by her ear, "I'm collecting what you owe me." Reading Guide: 1.
