Sunset Beer

[Complete, ready to binge]

[Reader's guide:]

A playboy reforms.

The heroine has no prior sexual experience; the hero does.

Eight-year age gap.

Bold, spirited heiress × obsessive, aloof older man.

The male lead isn't exactly a good person at first, but he changes a lot after falling for the heroine. Includes a groveling-for-your-love arc.

1.

The boldest thing Wen Yin had done in her twenty-something years was scheme to seduce a man she'd only met twice.

And it seemed to be going very well.

On the very first day, she got into his car.

In less than half a month, the man could barely wait to drive somewhere secluded. He lifted her delicate chin and kissed her, their high noses touching. He curled his lips into a slightly roguish smile.

"Yinyin, was that kiss good?"

2.

The day after Gu Jin saw her walking home hand in hand with Gu Sibo,

Gu Jin sat in his office chair, slowly fingering a string of glossy, well-worn old ebony prayer beads. His voice was cold as he looked up at her.

"It's a bit of a hassle. I don't have to go looking for trouble."

"That kid likes you. I can step aside."

His expression was relaxed. Suddenly, he curled his lips into a smile. "Besides, Miss Wen, you were probably just playing around with me, weren't you?"

Wen Yin stood frozen, her heart dropping as if she'd just ridden a massive drop tower.

3.

Gu Jin, chairman of Baiyan Group, is reserved and cold, a man of few words who's forceful at work and has a distinctive style.

But the word is that he is rather indulgent in his private life. Women come and go at his side, like passing travelers or brief amusements.

At first, Wen Yin seemed no different from his former lovers. Even if they broke up, Gu Jin wouldn't be affected at all.

A year later, a short video went viral locally. In the clip,

Gu Jin looked serious, the corners of his eyes a little red. He had lowered himself completely to confess to a girl, almost getting down on his knees to beg her...

At a gathering, his friend teased him about it. "Well, now everyone knows our boss is a simp."

Wen Yin blushed and secretly tugged at his sleeve under the table, reminding him, "They're laughing at you."

Gu Jin tilted his head and carefully wiped her mouth, carrying on with his attentive service as if nothing had happened.

"They're not laughing at you."

"They're laughing at me."

[It's a mutual crush, with the male lead making the first move and the female lead being passive and sensitive inside]

[Dual-doctor romance]

1.

When the professors at Beicheng People's Hospital talk about Jiang Zhiyan, deputy chief surgeon, they can't help praising him.

"Xiao Jiang has steady hands, moves quickly, and is meticulous. His professional knowledge is top-notch. When no one else dares to take on an operation, he just says, 'I'll do it,' as if it's nothing."

Dr. Jiang is not only skilled, he's also handsome. The professors often tell him, "Being a doctor is busy, but there's a time for everything. Xiao Jiang, you should find a girlfriend."

The young women doing their residency and following the doctors on rounds blush and sneak glances at Dr. Jiang, waiting to hear how he'll respond to the department director.

Jiang Zhiyan smiles at the director and nods politely. "Don't tease me, Director."

"I'm too busy to think about that."

2.

After learning that Lin Yi is being pursued by a male classmate in her department, Jiang Zhiyan often shows up around her workstation. He lingers near her, but rarely speaks to her.

He just gives the young man in front of Lin Yi a cool look.

"Got time to spare?"

"Come on. You're assisting me in surgery."

The guy pursuing Lin Yi is summoned by Jiang Zhiyan to assist in surgery for a whole week. After every operation, he's completely exhausted and limp all over.

Pursue her? Even a dog wouldn't have the energy.

One scorching afternoon, sunlight shines through the window screen onto the profile of a young woman asleep at her desk. Her face is soft, a few strands of hair brushing her lips.

Jiang Zhiyan walks to the doorway with a glass of water and watches in silence, rare tenderness hidden beneath his dark eyes.

A professor passing by sees right through him and teases him. "Didn't you say you had no time for this?"

Jiang Zhiyan raises an eyebrow, his gaze still focused on her. "I did."

"But I can split my time in two."

One half for academic work.

One half for loving Lin Yi.

3.

After they officially get together, Lin Yi feels a little guilty whenever she goes to his office alone. Apart from necessary work-related contact, they usually wait until they're both off work.

But he seems to have no sense of keeping things discreet. Every day, as soon as he finishes seeing his patients, he calls Lin Yi over.

In the cramped changing room, the man's dark lashes lower. His cool eyes turn tender, and he gives a low laugh.

"Lin Yi, how many times do I have to kiss you before you stop getting shy?"

The young woman lowers her head, the tips of her ears red, and gently reminds him, "We're still at the hospital."

"Right." Jiang Zhiyan nods, hesitating.

The next second, he murmurs in a low voice, "Then let's kiss here."

"Don't you think it's kind of sacred?"

A sweet romance and a story of growth.

A story about two people with the same goal, encouraging each other and giving each other warmth as they move forward.

Patient cases will be included. They won't be entirely accurate, so I'll watch more documentaries to learn.

Please add this to your reading list! I can't start the book without enough pre-orders, sob sob.
