An older woman-younger man romance, with a five-year age gap. 2. The female lead is not a virgin; the male lead is. Blurb: “To you, I am a flame among thorns.” [1] When Zhaozhao was thirteen, she saved a kid who’d been beaten black and blue by his classmates. He wasn’t tall, but he was sweet and cute, like a little ball of glutinous rice. When his face was swollen and bruised, he looked like a little ball of glutinous rice smeared with paint. The little ball of glutinous rice stuck to her like rice glue every day. While slurping the ice cream she’d bought him, he showered her with compliments. “You’re the best, big sister!” Zhaozhao replied coolly, “You don’t know anything.” At last, Zhaozhao shook off her little shadow and went far away. [2] Urology is commonly called men’s medicine. From department heads to interns, the doctors are all men. The urology department at the Second Hospital was the exception. A female doctor joined, and she was so beautiful even a mask couldn’t hide it. One look from her captivating eyes could make a man’s heart flutter. People called her the “Human Defibrillator” and the “Miracle-working Doctor.” The number of male patients lining up at the department doubled, but Lian Zhao was used to it. One day, a man showed up. He was tall, and all Lian Zhao could see at first were his long legs. She thought to herself, “Nice legs.” Then she looked up. “And a nice face.” Too bad he was so young and already “not working.” Out of habit, she directed him: “For a consultation, the female urologist is here. Male patients, go out and turn left.” The man braced one hand against the edge of her desk, his slender fingers pale. “I’m not here for an appointment. I’m looking for Xu Zhaozhao.” Lian Zhao lifted her eyes, her expression unchanged. “There’s no one by that name in this department.” The man gave a cold laugh. “Are you trying to welch on our deal?” ★★Coming soon 1: A Heartbeat That Tastes Like Yogurt Blurb: [1] Gu Zhao is an arrogant, stubborn young master who loves freedom and never goes along with the crowd. His family forcibly sends him to the bottom rung, and he has no choice but to intern at the family company. Sure enough, they treat him like one of their own: HR doesn’t go easy on him at all, and puts him in one of the most important positions at the beverage subsidiary. And so Gu Zhao proudly becomes a customer service rep on the after-sales hotline! The very first call he takes gets him into trouble. “It’s because your yogurt is poor quality that I got dumped. You have to take responsibility! Waaah!” Gu Zhao: ????? [2] Ruan Xi finally managed to get together with the guy she’d liked for three years, only to be dumped less than a month later. The guy said he couldn’t stand how girls licked the lids of yogurt cups. The guy said that wasn’t all: she’d cut her tongue while licking a yogurt lid. Ruan Xi dug out the yogurt packaging and called the hotline, crying and wailing at the customer service rep all morning. She refused to let it go, relentless to the end. The customer service rep finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Want me to make it up to you by giving you myself?” P.S.: 1. An arrogant young master x a pretty girl with an arrogant temper 2. Both leads are virgins ★★Coming soon 2 Childhood sweethearts, from school uniforms to wedding dresses Brilliant, beautiful screenwriter x a promising actor who says one thing and means another Both leads are virgins Blurb: [1] On the day of university registration, Miao Ling got her wish and enrolled in the film and drama program at Ming University. That very day, the university’s official account posted: “The New Generation’s Male Heartthrob: Cen Yiming, First-Year Acting Student!” Miao Ling: Damn, can’t I ever get away from him? Wouldn’t it have been better for Cen Yiming to get over 600 points and apply to the finance program? Most importantly, she’d spent thirteen years living in his shadow. Who would’ve thought she’d have to endure another four years of it? [2] Jobs were scarce for screenwriting graduates. By the time they graduated in their senior year, half the class had changed careers. Stubborn Miao Ling became an assistant screenwriter, writing and doing odd jobs day and night, taking on the worst tasks for the lowest pay. Roommate: “Cen Yiming has already won Best Actor. With an influential connection like that, why don’t you use him?” Miao Ling: “Even if I starve to death because I can’t afford food or die from staying up all night writing scripts, I will never use him.” Three days later. Miao Ling, with tears and snot streaming down her face: “I worked so hard for half a year, and now they’re saying I won’t get the credit they promised me!” Cen Yiming handed her a tissue, lips pressed tightly together as he pretended not to understand what she meant. [3] “Mr. Huang, has Yiming made a decision? This role was practically written for him.” Agent Huang Shuqi glanced at Miao Ling, who was sitting at the very end, and smiled. “Yiming says he’ll do it if she writes the script.” [4] Miao Ling: “It’s so good!” Theme: Face life with optimism
