Green Grass, Red Heart

A cool-faced, teasing female lead x a lovestruck, unhinged male lead

Liu Chong returns from abroad to pursue his online friend, but his love life is going badly. Every few days, he runs into her coldly sarcastic former sister-in-law.

He's fed up, but since she's his online friend's bestie, he reluctantly lets her look at his face, which is so much like his brother's, and make do with what she can't have.

On a snowy night, Ren Yan knocks on his door, her long lashes covered in frost.

Liu Chong: “You came all this way just to look at my face?”

Ren Yan gives him a look and walks straight in.

The mountain wind carries rain and snow. Firewood crackles indoors, and a lingering warmth spreads along the walls.

“Seven years ago today, he proposed to me.”

Liu Chong tucks her in, gets dressed, and climbs out of bed to add firewood. The swirling red glow falls across the earthen walls. “Sister-in-law, he won't know that I kissed you today, either.”

The night he finds out his online friend is Ren Yan, fireworks go off outside the window all night. Their light flickers on and off. Liu Chong lies in a hospital bed, but the cold-hearted woman never comes.

He is furious. “I will never debase myself by being my brother's stand-in again!”

The woman is unconcerned. “Good. Just be yourself.”

Then she disappears. She really doesn't want him anymore.

Beneath the eaves in the pouring rain, the two meet again after a long separation.

Liu Chong: “Do you still love my brother?”

Ren Yan watches the endless lines of rain and nods.

“D-do you... love me at least a little?” Liu Chong grits his teeth, determined to ask.

The woman looks at him for a long time, then slowly nods through the drifting mist.

Coming soon: The Carbonation Crisis Casebook

In early spring, Wen Zhao, reading in a corner, comes across Jiang Jun in the middle of a group fight.

Cruel and ruthless.

When it's over, the man walks over and snatches her book.

“If you don't want trouble, stay away.”

The next day, Wen Zhao finds Jiang Jun and asks for her book back.

The man narrows his eyes and gives her a sardonic look before tossing her a hundred yuan. “Go buy another one.”

Wen Zhao: “You read my book, so you owe me interest.”

Jiang Jun lets out a cold laugh. “Let's hear it.”

Wen Zhao: “Protect me.”

Jiang Jun thinks: Where did this clueless idiot come from?

At winter's end, the back street of Jicheng Vocational and Technical College is bitterly cold, the wind slicing across their faces like a knife.

In the dim shadow of the thin moon, the man lowers his head.

His voice is gentle, tinged with laughter. “So fierce again.”

Wen Zhao rolls her eyes, slaps a bandage onto his forehead, opens a can of soda, and sits on the stone steps.

The sound of fizzy water in the night wind makes her blood inexplicably boil.

Jiang Jun sits beside her, snatches the drink, and takes a swig. “You really want to apply to Jiaotong University? Can you get in?”

Wen Zhao: “Yes.”

Jiang Jun: “If I don't...”

Wen Zhao looks at him. Not a trace of hesitation shows in her cold eyes.

“If you don't get in, this is where we end.”

“Will you find someone at your new school to protect you?”

“Yes.” Without hesitation.

He curls his lips into a smile. “Good. Then I can relax.”

His long, slender fingers crush the can. He tosses it into a distant trash can, and amid the clattering, Jiang Jun says:

“Fine. We'll each do our best.”

“Wen Zhao, even if we go our separate ways, don't forget to claw your way up like a dog.”
