Novel blurb:

In her first year of college, Shi Le went to teach in a remote mountain village.

Whenever she walked one of her students home, she would see the child's older brother standing at the door.

The boy would smile gently and offer her a glass of water, thanking her softly.

Later, at the start-of-year welcome event in her third year,

Shi Le spotted him in the crowd at once.

The boy had grown out of his childishness. His eyes held a faint starlight when he smiled, and his voice was warm when he called to her.

"Sister, I've come to find you."

#

Qi Yan's family had an old, yellowed map marked with a long red line running from south to north.

A closer look revealed that someone had traced it over and over.

Shi Le asked him, "What is this?"

Qi Yan gazed into the distance, gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, and whispered in her ear, "The distance I had to cross to hold you."

No one knew that on the evening Shi Le finished her teaching stint and left, the boy had chased her shadow through the mountains, but couldn't reach that ray of light in his heart.

Qi Yan gazed at the endless green mountains and the setting sun in the west,

and thought:

It was only six thousand li. He could cross it.

-

"I love you, no matter how far I have to go."

"I grew up in the mire, careful with every step. You alone inspired a courage I never knew I had. I wanted to cross mountains and seas, run to you, and hold you."

Blurb:

Wen Wen first met him on a summer afternoon.

Wearing an oversized T-shirt, she dozed lazily in a chair outside a small-town flower shop. Her green curls tumbled down, and she was more beautiful than any flower.

The sight struck Lu Jia like a thorn in the eye.

Later, when she opened her eyes, she picked up the scissors beside her and twirled them around her fingers with practiced ease. Smiling, she asked, "Hey, handsome, want a haircut?"

Only then did Lu Jia realize that this "flower shop" was actually a barbershop.

They met again at the repeat-year class, and Wen Wen had dyed her hair black again. The queen of the forest had fallen into the mortal world.

-

Lu Jia was a prospective top student in the repeat-year class: aloof and quiet. Everyone said he cared only about studying and had no life.

Until Wen Wen blocked his way and asked, to everyone's astonishment, "Top student, want to date? Try something more fun than studying."

In the silence, Lu Jia took hold of her wrist. "Do you dare?"

The queen reached out a branch toward him, and he would keep her captive in the human world.

-

The thing Wen Wen regretted most was getting involved with Lu Jia in high school.

He destroyed all the resolve and stubbornness she had held onto for years.

Only later did she realize that meeting Lu Jia was also what she was most grateful for.

He gave her the most perfect fairy tale of her life, and lit up the countless homes around her, night after night.

-

"She's like a rose in the desert. If I don't hold on to her, she'll be swallowed by the sandstorm."

From Lu Jia's diary.

Coming soon: Little Pot Lid

The arrogant Demon King x the gentle, resilient good girl

Blurb:

Jin Qiaoran couldn't understand why, even though he'd taken on a sidekick, it felt like he was the one serving a little tyrant.

Little Pot Lid was stubborn, slow-moving, and could infuriate people with her words.

Jin Qiaoran decided he needed to reclaim his dignity as the big brother. He strode over to Yu Yu, who was doing her homework, with a sour look on his face.

Friend: "Ran, forget it. Let it go."

Yu Yu slowly finished the last character, then took a brand-new red scarf out of her desk. "Don't forget to bring it again."

A pen cap was tucked into her fluffy short hair, leaving her pretty eyes in plain view.

Jin Qiaoran swallowed his words, tied on the red scarf with a sour expression, and stomped out.

"I'll put up with her for one more day!"

He kept putting up with her, until Little Pot Lid disappeared.

#

Yu Yu met Jin Qiaoran when she was nine. He was arrogant, and the whole world revolved around him.

When they met again, Jin Qiaoran was still arrogant. The little devil had grown into a big one, shed his childishness, and become so handsome he seemed almost otherworldly. Even his smile was bewitching. He lifted Yu Yu's long hair with his slender fingertips and sighed softly, "Little Pot Lid has grown up."

"Are you ready to face your big brother's wrath?"

(Probably a story that follows them from growing up to growing old.)

Theme: Cross mountains and seas with the most passionate love, and embrace the one you love.
