The Best Actress Won't Let Me Date

New Novel: After the Early-Dead White Moonlight of a Wealthy Family Returns Ever since childhood, Jiang Nanxi's friends have known she has a mysterious guardian. They never came to parent-teacher meetings or graduation ceremonies. They were never there in person, but always sent a suited man to clean up the mess. Later, after they saw Jiang Nanxi appear on a travel variety show, they finally understood why. Jiang Nanxi's mysterious guardian was the award-winning actress Xia Zhiyan. On the show, Xia Zhiyan introduced her to everyone: "This is Jiang Nanxi, my girl." Jiang Nanxi stood to the side with a guitar on her back, lowering her eyes to hide her feelings. After Jiang Nanxi became famous, her debut album was titled Summer Longing. Whenever rumors about her romances surfaced, Xia Zhiyan's studio would be the one to issue a clarification. "She's still young. She isn't dating." Even Jiang Nanxi's Weibo bio was changed to: Work only, no dating. Jiang Nanxi's fans said, "Having a guardian in the entertainment industry really is dependable!" Until one day, someone photographed Jiang Nanxi pinning Xia Zhiyan by the waist backstage at a concert and demanding a kiss. Onlookers: Ooh! Everyone thought that the ever discreet and scandal-free Xia was going to pretend it never happened. Instead, she posted on Weibo. @Xia Zhiyan: Yes, my girlfriend is a little wild. Please don't mind. Solo fans: As long as you're okay with it, sis T_T Couple shippers: Don't treat us like outsiders, Sister Xia. Let her be as wild as she likes. She had kept her feelings hidden for so many years, pretending to be obedient and sweet, never imagining that Xia Zhiyan liked wild girls. Jiang Nanxi tossed her phone aside and snatched the woman's phone, too. She tipped up Xia Zhiyan's chin, brushed her lips, then kissed her neck, planting a rose there. "You're mine, Sister." The girl stared at her with stubborn, wolf-like possessiveness. Xia Zhiyan laughed and returned her kiss indulgently. The next day, she got up holding her aching waist and changed her bio. Xia Zhiyan: Not working lately, just dating. Jiang Nanxi's fans: Help, the guardian became family? You can do that?! - Couple: A scheming, patient little wolf-dog who pretends to be obedient x a gentle, sharp older woman with skin hunger Thirteen-year age gap. No blood relation or legal relationship of any kind. --New Novel-- After the Early-Dead White Moonlight of a Wealthy Family Returns Ten years ago, the Shen family of Jiangcheng had two celebrated daughters. Shen You'an was a beloved little princess. She died at seventeen, in the prime of her life, on a barren mountain in a rainstorm. Ten years later, Shen You'an came back from the dead, gaunt and utterly bedraggled. The Shen family still had two daughters, but her life and her name now belonged to someone else. With nowhere to go and no way forward, she stood in the rain as a cool, capable woman held an umbrella before her. The woman said, "Shen You'an?" Shen You'an remembered Su Wu, her older sister's friend. Su Wu often stayed at their home. She had a sad past, was aloof, and had never been close to Shen You'an. But Shen You'an never expected that ten years later, when she was at her wit's end, it would be Su Wu who took her in. Su Wu was famous in their world for being cold-hearted and ruthless. She had long-standing grievances with the Shen family and had always opposed them. Why would someone like that take her in? Was she going to use her as a hostage? But the Shen family had no need for her anymore. Besides... After ten years of the apocalypse, Shen You'an had become half-human and half-monster. Her body craved blood, and her reason would scream as it burned. Why would the heavens bring her back? Crouched in a corner of the room, Shen You'an bit her own arm hard as she asked herself that question. Until the day snow drifted past the window. The woman came to her side, then knelt before her as she curled up anxiously, struggling to keep herself under control. The woman gently opened her collar, revealing the fair skin at the side of her neck. She cupped Shen You'an's face and pressed her trembling fangs against her own neck. She said, "Don't be afraid. Big Sis is here." Theme: Stay true to your dreams.
