Beautiful Big Sister Has No Heart

The main story is complete. I'll update the extras in a few days.

Coming soon: Never Bend, and She Flirts and Runs. Blurbs are at the bottom.

*

Actress Xu Bailu falls for a puppyish young man who runs a flower shop.

He's much younger than her, tall and handsome, sweetly shy and obedient.

Whenever he smiles, Xu Bailu's knees go weak. She finally understands why men are always attracted to eighteen-year-old girls.

When his flower shop isn't doing well, she sends flower baskets to every celebrity she knows, and even ones she doesn't.

When he livestreams for the shop, she opens her wallet and gladly becomes his top donor.

When he gives her a smile, she puts the keys to her Mercedes-Benz G-Class right in his hands.

After one wave of advances after another, the puppy soon becomes hers.

Six months later, their relationship hits a crisis, and the novelty wears off.

Just then, Xu Bailu gets a spot on a dating reality show, where she'll fake a romance with a rich heir. But before the show starts, she has to cut off her feelings.

She leaves the young man a pile of expensive gifts and comforts him: "Your big sister is only doing this because she has to make a living. I won't forget you."

His eyes turn red as he pulls her into his arms. "I can take care of you."

Xu Bailu laughs at that. Life isn't a movie. Where is some King of Comedy she can entrust her whole life to?

In the end, she leaves decisively without looking back.

Not long afterward, the livestreamed show goes on air. On camera, Xu Bailu talks poetry, dreams, and love with the rich heir, alluring and flirtatious, completely at ease.

Halfway through the show, the heir's younger brother suddenly appears as a surprise guest.

Xu Bailu is stunned to discover that the newcomer is none other than her puppyish young man.

The familiar young man has become someone she barely recognizes. His gaze is cool, his manner distant, and he looks every bit the handsome, suited-up elite. She is too surprised to speak and can only pretend to be calm.

Out of sight of the cameras, his black leather shoe brushes against the hem of her dress under the table. He drawls, "I hear pretty older sisters don't have hearts?"

"Glamorous actress VS sweet, sunny young wolf"

Tips: Younger man, the woman has had relationships while the man is a virgin, six-year age gap. He's sweet and puppyish at first, then turns into a wolf. The heroine flirts first and falls in love later. Chapter titles are names of roses and have no particular significance.

Coming Soon 1: Never Bend

"Regret arc, second male lead wins her over, proud little fairy VS icy demon king, psychology-related"

Who doesn't love the thrilling sight of a noble person bending the knee, of a flower from the highest peak falling from its pedestal?

Wen Zhiyuan certainly does. That's why he put so much effort into winning the heart of Jian Shuyu, the goddess of the psychology department. His goal was to dump her in public, so everyone could see that even a flower from the highest peak was just an ordinary woman.

Not long afterward, at Wen Zhiyuan's birthday banquet, Jian Shuyu arrives dressed to the nines.

Those in the know wait for the shocking scene they expect to unfold.

Around the middle of the banquet, Wen Zhiyuan hands Jian Shuyu the first slice of cake and says, "I'm bored. Let's break up."

"Oh." Jian Shuyu eats her cake and glances at him, then says calmly, "Classic histrionic personality. You need to attract other people's attention to feel that you exist. Let me guess, your parents never praised you, did they?" She then hands a business card to Wen Zhiyuan, whose face has turned red. "It's my teacher's counseling office. Mention my name for 20 percent off."

With that, Jian Shuyu leaves in style, while everyone else looks at one another in bewilderment.

Later, Wen Zhiyuan finally realizes he was wrong. He sincerely apologizes and hopes they can get back together.

"Shuyu, I was too immature. Can you give me another chance?" he says, standing at her door with red-rimmed eyes.

Jian Shuyu only smiles without answering, but a voice comes from inside the room.

"Tell him to get lost. Trying to steal his own uncle's girl? He must be tired of living."

-

Everyone thinks Jian Shuyu is rational and aloof, an untouchable flower from the highest peak.

Only Wen Chen remembers that night. Jian Shuyu, wearing a little red dress, was throwing up in the bathroom until she could barely stand. Even so, she straightened her back as she got up, like a proud little peacock.

"A flower from the highest peak never bends."

She Flirts and Runs

Si Man has been a good girl for over twenty years: obedient, sensible, and law-abiding.

Her parents nearly arranged her marriage for her, too, until she saw the note her blind date had saved under her contact information.

"26 years old, 32B, owns a car but no house, monthly salary 5,000, grade A-minus."

Si Man: ...

Let this world be destroyed!!

After tearing into the scumbag, she takes a long vacation and books a cruise.

Blue skies and clear seas, far from home.

On her very first day, Si Man meets the cellist Zhu Xinchun, who has been invited to perform.

In a black tailcoat, with long legs and broad shoulders, he's handsome and aloof, like a flower from the highest peak of a snowy mountain. When he smiles, Si Man's heart melts.

She flirts with him again and again, but Zhu Xinchun always turns her down.

That only brings out her competitive streak. The harder he is to win over, the more irresistible he becomes.

At last, on the final day at sea...

Zhu Xinchun strokes her long hair and asks, "What is it about me that makes you like me so much?"

Si Man blushes and says nothing, instead singing a line from a song.

"So sentimental / I'm blessed with your favor / Still hoping you'll let me come closer, inch by inch, by inch"

Outside the window, the sea wind howls. Inside, a faint fragrance lingers.

The next morning, the cruise ship docks.

Si Man slips away without a word.

**

After taking time off, Si Man returns to school.

At the opening ceremony, Zhu Xinchun appears and announces amid the excited shrieks of the female students that he has been invited to serve as an honorary professor in the music department.

Si Man's heart pounds. She's terrified he'll recognize her.

But as soon as the ceremony ends, he corners her in the stairwell.

In the dim stairwell, his warm breath brushes her ear.

"You flirted with me and ran away. What, are you some kind of snail girl?"
