Ivory Tower

[Blurb]

For the past twenty-six years, Tang Fanjin has been the perfect child everyone else's parents wished they had: considerate, good at school, and with a respectable job.

She has lived on praise from her parents and relatives, yet still feels lost in life.

Endless overtime and one blind date after another, like a wind-up puppet being driven forward.

One night, Tang Fanjin hears a man's voice on the radio and remembers the dreams she had as a girl.

The next day, she decides to quit her job, picks up her suitcase, and sets off to find a new life.

But right from the start, she runs into an eccentric landlord who keeps checking the utilities, pestering her to pay, and showing up three times a day.

At her wit's end, Tang Fanjin summons her courage and warns him: "Y-you keep this up, and I'll move somewhere else!"

Jiang Yutao braces one hand against the wall, his breath brushing her earlobe: "Just a routine electrical check. It's free, dear."

Jiang Yutao's parents divorced, and as an adult he found work reading inspirational quotes on a radio station.

But no one believed in fairy tales for grown-ups anymore, and his show was soon replaced.

Losing the job he loved left him like a fish out of water.

Jiang Yutao chose to let himself go, living in the suburbs and passing the time collecting rent.

One day, a new tenant moved in: a girl who had quit her job to pursue her dream.

Jiang Yutao: "Fool. Fairy tales are all lies."

Tang Fanjin clenches her fist: "A fighter's soul is a fighter's heart! I'm charging ahead for my dream!"

Jiang Yutao: ...Wow.

A dumpling-loving, spirited chef x a sharp-tongued but softhearted fake domineering CEO

"You and I shine because we dare to dream."

Si Qiqing x Li Zhao

[Blurb]

As the heiress to a corporate group, Si Qiqing became a canary under her uncles' control after her parents died.

At lavish galas she plays the doll, then turns around and sets fire to her cage.

"If I can't live, we'll all die together."

As the flames shoot up, she recalls her mother's eyes before she died. The hatred she'd suppressed for years is finally released.

Unfortunately, her plan fails. Her keepers become even more cautious, and even send a man to monitor her movements.

A man...?

Si Qiqing narrows her eyes as she sizes up Li Zhao, setting her black-stockinged feet on the floor.

She reaches out, grabs his tie, and draws his expressionless face closer.

"Did they send you?"

Li Zhao's Adam's apple bobs. He looks straight ahead. "Miss Si, please behave yourself."

Si Qiqing is a liar.

That was what Li Zhao used to think.

But when her slender hand grips his lapel and her drenched body trembles as she collapses into his arms

Li Zhao thinks: Even if it costs me everything, I will do whatever it takes to protect her.

Si Qiqing likes sweets.

Si Qiqing likes sparkling accessories.

Si Qiqing is simply Si Qiqing.

Li Zhao thinks he's finally touched her heart and works up the courage to say, "I'll take you away."

But she just shrugs, sounding indifferent: "It's only a game. Don't take it so seriously, Mr. Li."

After the storm passes, Si Qiqing asks Li Zhao: "Do you still hate me?"

Li Zhao shakes his head and kisses her fingertips: "I will love you forever."
