Recommending a new novel by my friend: The Post-90s Little Stepmom by Jiangsi Zhujiu

1. On a rainy day just before summer vacation, when she was seventeen, Yu Nian "found" Fu Yizhuo at the train station.

Before that, Yu Nian spent every day buried in endless practice problems, with pitifully few friends.

After that, Fu Yizhuo's figure was always drifting around her, and even the teachers considered them a "couple under close watch for a premature romance."

Yu Nian couldn't understand why the teachers were so alarmed. She only vaguely felt that with Fu Yizhuo by her side, she was much happier.

It wasn't until one day, in a dim corner of a karaoke room, when nobody noticed her shivering from the air-conditioning but Fu Yizhuo draped a blanket over her, that she realized she had probably fallen for him.

Her teenage crush came on with overwhelming force, sincere and ardent. Yu Nian tried hard to bury those feelings deep inside, carefully keeping Fu Yizhuo from discovering them.

But when the college entrance exams were over, he cornered her in their classroom and spoke the words reserved for a confession.

"Yu Nian, I like you."

2. At the opening ceremony of their first year of high school, Fu Yizhuo fell in love at first sight with Yu Nian, the freshman representative speaking at the podium.

From then on, he thought about her day and night, and dreamed of finding her every night.

He racked his brains trying to get close to her and catch her attention, until one rainy day, she walked toward him.

Hiding every last bit of his unrequited yearning, Fu Yizhuo smiled and asked her, "Can I borrow half your umbrella?"

I came running to you,

You are my stars and sea,

The blazing star in my eyes,

Lighting my way through the long night.

Huang Xiaoyun, "Stars and Sea"

Yu Nian x Fu Yizhuo

A pure sweet romance. Come on in!

Bite Me on Purpose

At a party, five-year-old Shen Xingyao met Gu Yi, the young master of the Gu family, and gained a childhood friend.

As she grew up, Shen Xingyao heard plenty of biased opinions about Gu Yi from the people around them.

They said he was cold both inside and out, antisocial, and impossible to warm up to or get close with.

But Shen Xingyao knew that wasn't true.

He took her to look at the stars and told her about the romance of the universe. His bright eyes shone even more brilliantly than the stars.

When her mother died, he stayed by her side. The young boy's voice was firm as he told her, "You still have me. I'll stay with you."

Later, when she had to move abroad with her father, he looked at her with red-rimmed eyes, like a frantic little beast. "If you leave, what am I supposed to do?"

He asked if she would come back. Eighteen-year-old Shen Xingyao couldn't make him any promises. All she could give him was a hug and an apology.

Seven years later, twenty-five-year-old Shen Xingyao returned to China for a work transfer and was invited to a high school reunion.

When she entered the karaoke room, she immediately spotted Gu Yi, familiar yet somehow a stranger.

The boy she'd known had lost all his youthful innocence. The elegant, restrained man before her was impossible to look away from.

Her heart suddenly raced. Shen Xingyao wanted to pick a seat farther from Gu Yi, but she tripped and fell right into his arms.

Their classmates hooted and teased her with the joke they'd made back in high school: "Shen Xingyao, did you do that on purpose?"

Shen Xingyao gritted her teeth. "I didn't do it on purpose!"

Gu Yi raised an eyebrow. "If you didn't do it on purpose, why aren't you getting up?"

After the reunion, Gu Yi walked Shen Xingyao home. He pinned her against the wall, bent down, and bit her. "Tell me, did you do it on purpose?"

Her face turned red all the way to her neck, but Shen Xingyao still stubbornly denied it. "I told you, I didn't do it on purpose!"

Gu Yi's lips curled up, his starry eyes filled with affection. "No, you belong to Gu Yi."

The Post-90s Little Stepmom by Jiangsi Zhujiu

In 1985, Gu Shiyu's career had just begun when his wife ran off with the funds and her lover, leaving behind three children. His career fell into a slump, and not a single person was willing to help him.

After watching the three muddy little boys drive away six nannies in half a month, Gu Shiyu gritted his teeth and went to a matchmaking agency to find a stepmother for them.

In 1985, Ye Qiuqiu transmigrated into a period novel. Her original body's family had dragged her to a matchmaking agency. She wasn't picky about the man and was ready to trade herself for 5,000 yuan in bride price.

Ye Qiuqiu, who had just transmigrated into her body, crushed a teacup in one hand. Not one of the men there dared approach her.

Gu Shiyu brought Ye Qiuqiu home and told her that as long as the three children got into university, if she wanted a divorce, he would leave with nothing.

Ye Qiuqiu knew how the story ended: ten years later, Gu Shiyu would become the richest man in Huacheng.

She nodded, wholeheartedly embracing a life where raising children would make her rich.

Later, the eldest, second, and third boys all got into university. Having fulfilled her purpose, Ye Qiuqiu prepared to leave, but the three boys blocked the door. "Mom, don't go."

Gu Shiyu said too, "Wife, I haven't become the richest man in the world yet. How about waiting a little longer?"

Ye Qiuqiu: ...

Later still, Ye Qiuqiu accidentally raised three little billionaires.
