Kindling Love

[Not recommended]

1. The day Tang Shi gave up on liking Song Ci, it was pouring rain, and she was stood up.

On his birthday, beneath a dreary curtain of rain, she waited all night. The feelings she had never confessed were left in tatters, drenched by the storm.

That was also the night she finally understood just how insignificant her affection seemed to him. He had never intended to acknowledge their engagement, and he loathed it as much as he loathed her.

Tang Shi left, decisively and without looking back.

2. In his youth, Song Ci was reckless and rebellious, the sort who could never stand being restrained.

During the worst two years of his life, all that anger and hostility still ended up hurting the girl whose eyes had always been fixed on him.

When they met again, Tang Shi was a bright, bold darling of the entertainment industry, widely known as its lucky charm.

He had never imagined that the girl who always smiled at him would one day casually say something that meant nothing to her:

"Let's end our engagement."

"I don't like you anymore."

The words pierced his heart like two sharp blades.

3. Later, Tang Shi got her wish and ended her engagement to Song Ci.

But Song Ci couldn't stand seeing her laughing and chatting with other men, or going in and out of their apartments.

On Tang Shi's birthday, he quietly waited all night amid faint sparks of light, waiting for his girl to arrive.

Just as Tang Shi had prepared to confess her feelings all those years ago, Song Ci apologized, confessed his love, and finally wished her a belated "Happy birthday."

It was only so Tang Shi would feel a little better.

Tang Shi used to love Alpenliebe lollipops, especially the milk-flavored ones.

Now, he used candy in place of flowers, bringing her a huge bouquet of lollipops to make up for the deep love she had given him in her youth.

- If I couldn't give you flowers when we were eighteen,

- then when we're twenty-eight, let me buy you a drink.

Late Love Confession

Reading Guide:

1. One true pairing, happy ending, no real-life models, and an unconventional pursuit-after-a-breakup story.

2. The male lead isn't a jerk or a scumbag, and there are no love rivals. He's just a bit of a troublemaker.

3. This is probably the story of a male lead who wrestles with himself in his youth, makes a mistake anyway, and spends the whole story trying to win her back.

4. The author is terrible at writing blurbs. Just read the story.

A Little More in Love with You

Sweet young lady vs. fake straight-laced guy

1. In her senior year of high school, Sheng Mian's mother told her that a young man would be coming over to tutor her.

She had just finished a phone call and stepped out of the elevator when she saw him:

He was leaning against the door to her home, his eyes lowered, bathed in the light overhead.

When he looked up at Sheng Mian, one eyebrow lifted slightly. His voice was clear and cool. "You're Sheng Mian, right? I'm Wen Chengyan. I'm here to tutor you in math."

2. Wen Chengyan, the campus heartthrob whom the girls at B University called an untouchable flower.

In his three years at school, no one had ever seen him with a girl, and he rarely even spoke to one.

Rumor had it that he wasn't interested in romance.

3. Before long, a photo appeared on the campus forum.

In a dimly lit corner beside the women's dormitory, Wen Chengyan let a young woman pin him against the wall and kiss him. His palm gently stroked her back, drawing her closer.

After asking around, people learned that the girl was Sheng Mian, an animation design major. She wore her hair in a bun and had peach-blossom eyes. When she looked at someone and blinked, she seemed ready to give them her whole heart.

The post's popularity soared, and that night, the hearts of female university students shattered all over the place.

His roommate shoved the photo in Wen Chengyan's face. "Not interested in romance? No interest? Heartthrob, does your face hurt?"

Wen Chengyan touched the corner of his mouth, which Sheng Mian had bitten open. "My mouth hurts."

4. Wen Chengyan might not like romance, but Sheng Mian was different.

She was the one exception to his principles, the one he cherished above all else.

Coming Soon: A Bite of Spring

Mischievous little temptress vs. refined, wickedly charming jealous man

1. Qi Jianxun, a powerful figure in the capital's business world. Calm and self-possessed, restrained and composed, he wore silver-rimmed glasses and exuded a refined, abstinent air.

At every event, he wore a ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

The whole internet speculated about the ring, but no one could figure it out.

Until a magazine got the chance to interview Qi Jianxun.

The reporter asked on behalf of everyone online: "Mr. Qi, this ring you're wearing...?"

Qi Jianxun glanced at it, a smile passing through his eyes. "I'm married. My wife and I grew up together."

2. Shi Jiang, a top-tier star in the Chinese entertainment industry with tens of millions of fans. She spent most of the year filming, working diligently and setting a model example.

When she debuted, her stunning looks won countless fans, especially her pair of slender, well-proportioned legs, which set people's hearts racing.

Men and women all over the internet couldn't stop fawning over her legs.

They all wondered whose waist those beautiful legs would end up wrapped around (not really).

3. At a party one evening, tipsy Shi Jiang looped one pale wrist around Qi Jianxun's neck and buried her face in the crook of his shoulder.

Qi Jianxun held her by the waist and tilted his head to kiss her cheek.

That night, the video spread like wildfire online.

Soon afterward, another clip surfaced, showing Shi Jiang getting into a stranger's Rolls-Royce during her university days. People suspected she had been kept as a mistress.

The internet erupted in insults, with vile accusations like "homewrecker" and "seducing a married man" appearing everywhere.

They both reposted the two posts.

Qi Jianxun V: I kissed my wife. Got a problem with that?

Shi Jiang V: I got into my husband's car. Got a problem with that?

The whole internet: !!!

A Little Scene:

Shi Jiang had been filming for three straight months without going home.

With Qixi approaching, Qi Jianxun sent her a message: [Are you coming home or not?]

There was nothing in the wording to give anything away. It was just like Qi Jianxun to be so restrained.

But Shi Jiang knew he was angry.

Shi Jiang asked the director for leave that very night. The crew started teasing her.

Shi Jiang smiled. "My husband is throwing a childish tantrum. I have to go soothe him."

The whole crew: Flip the dog bowl!

Theme: Strive for the life you dream of.
