A Scorching Winter

[Coming soon: Sakura Season. If you're interested, visit my author page to bookmark it!] 1. Chi Nan is known throughout the neighborhood as a model student: quiet and well-behaved, she devotes herself to her studies, and has never dropped below fifth place in her grade. She never imagined she would fall in love with someone in secret. Even less did she imagine she would secretly like him for so many years. He was the son her neighbor's new wife had brought into the family. Dressed in black from head to toe, he was lean and slender, lazily leaning against a tree as he smoked. When he noticed Chi Nan looking at him, he turned his head and put out the cigarette. "What?" He gave a low laugh. "Got your eye on me?" 2. Sheng Yang was a hopeless student who smoked, drank, fought, and never went anywhere without his comics and game console. Then one day, he turned over a new leaf and threw himself into studying. The others thought it was just a rumor, until they saw his monthly exam scores shooting up. "..." Before that, a classmate had asked him, "Brother Sheng, just tell us if someone's threatening you. You don't have to work this hard." Sheng Yang glanced at him, looking a little annoyed. "You think I want to study?" He frowned impatiently. "But how am I supposed to afford a wife if I don't study?" "The hopeless student who mended his ways just to get a wife"; "Studying is the only way to get a wife"; "Call me big brother"; "The love story of a sweet girl and a cocky guy" Coming soon: Sakura Season.

He crouched by the road like a poor little puppy nobody wanted. He claimed to be the Crown Prince of Northern Qin, and said he'd inexplicably transmigrated to the modern world. But after he cleaned up, she realized he was none other than Jin Yixin, the famous Golden Elephant Award-winning actor. Xu Ying didn't dare take him lightly. Assuming he had a temporary intellectual impairment, she planned to take this important figure straight to the police station that very night. But Jin Yixin gave her a flirtatious look and handed her a bank card. "Help me recover my memories, and I'll give you even more." ...Aren't you an ancient crown prince? Where did you get a bank card?! 2. One day, Jin Yixin, a top-tier star with tens of millions of fans, got a new personal assistant on set. He and this assistant were practically glued together every day, treating her like his personal encyclopedia. He asked her if strawberries were poisonous before eating them, how to tie a tie, and even how to use the showerhead. Whenever Xu Ying felt she couldn't take it anymore, Jin Yixin would pull out another bank card for her. "Don't want it?" "..." Xu Ying looked at the balance on the card. Well, it wasn't like she was losing out. His agent explained, "Actor Jin has a habit of getting too deeply immersed in his roles. When it happens, he forgets who he is and completely becomes the character. But he usually recovers within three months." Three months later. Xu Ying eagerly waited for the actor to return to normal, only to hear him say meaningfully, "You've taken a liking to this crown prince?" 3. For his role as the Crown Prince of Northern Qin, Jin Yixin won four major domestic awards in one fell swoop. At the awards ceremony, the host joked, "I hear you have a tendency to get too deeply immersed in your roles. Is that true?" Dressed in a custom-tailored suit, Jin Yixin exuded refinement in every gesture. He smiled faintly. "No." "It's just a way to pursue my wife."
