Adult life: Naive, sweet craftswoman x devoted heir to a business empire

Enchanting fairy x arrogant, sharp-tongued, cool CEO

Jiang Yaxuan and Xiao Xingchen first met at a celebration banquet.

Xiao Xingchen only ever cared about profit, yet he stepped in to help Jiang Yaxuan out of a tight spot.

Jiang Yaxuan glanced at him again, only to be warned in his sharp-tongued fashion: "Miss Jiang, stop looking at me like a lovestruck fool."

Xiao Xingchen managed to anger Jiang Yaxuan, instantly bringing out her temper.

She vowed to herself that she would never have anything to do with him again.

Jiang Yaxuan never imagined that Xiao Xingchen, the sharp-tongued, arrogant CEO, would appear before her again.

When her grandmother sent her to a blind date, her date turned out to be Xiao Xingchen.

He looked at her with clear, cool eyes. "Don't even think about meeting other men."

With that simple sentence, he shut down any chance of her going on another blind date.

Jiang Yaxuan was forced to pretend to be a couple with Xiao Xingchen in front of their families.

As time passed, it seemed their names were bound together, impossible to separate.

A carefully orchestrated accident made them see each other in a new light.

Before long, reporters photographed award-winning actress Jiang Yaxuan being pulled into the arms of a mysterious man in a parking lot. He asked in a low voice:

"Are you willing to be my woman now?"

Jiang Yaxuan smiled and tugged on the man's tie. "That depends on how Mr. Xiao performs."

The whole internet was stunned: the mysterious man was none other than Xiao Xingchen, the famous Mr. Xiao of Nancheng.

Bonus scene:

Xiao Xingchen cared only about profit and calculated everything precisely.

One day, he actually bought an island at an auction.

The island had been added to the auction at the last minute, shocking everyone there.

After the auction, the media asked him, "Mr. Xiao, what about this island inspired you to make such an impulsive bid?"

Xiao Xingchen's lips curled into a faint smile. "The island's shape on the map happens to match my love for my fairy."

The whole room erupted: Even the cool, celibate CEO has been conquered by a fairy!

Fairy's fans: Our fairy queen is going to become an island owner!

One-on-one / both leads' first time / happy ending / first love for both

He secretly loves her / long-planned pursuit / urban cohabitation and romantic tension / he falls for his own schemes

Gu Ximu first met Wen Yisheng in their second year of high school.

As a transfer student, he was assigned by the teacher to sit beside Gu Ximu.

Fengcheng No. 1 High School was known for its academic excellence. Wen Yisheng not only had excellent grades, but was also handsome. In less than two days, he became the talk of the entire grade, and many girls came to the classroom door hoping to catch a glimpse of him.

Sitting beside Wen Yisheng made Gu Ximu the easiest way for all the girls to get to know him.

Before the first three days of school were over, she had received plenty of letters and gifts on Wen Yisheng's behalf.

When she could no longer fit anything in her locker, Gu Ximu had no choice but to return everything to Wen Yisheng.

That afternoon, Wen Yisheng ran up to the second floor from the basketball court, wearing a blue-and-white tracksuit.

He looked up at her for the first time, his tone cool. "I didn't expect you to be so helpful, Gu, but I don't need it."

The items were back in Gu Ximu's hands. All she could do was watch Wen Yisheng walk away and vow to herself that she would never help him again.

Unexpectedly, during an earthquake, Gu Ximu was trying to save a kitten when a piano fell on her, trapping her beneath it.

When Wen Yisheng heard the news, he rushed to the music room on the third floor and risked everything to rescue Gu Ximu.

With her hands and feet injured, she couldn't stop crying. Her voice was weak. "Am I going to be perma..."

Before she could finish, Wen Yisheng said with conviction, "Mumu, I'll take care of you. You still have to graduate with me."

Gu Ximu and Wen Yisheng met again seven years later.

After graduating from college, Gu Ximu returned to Fengcheng to start her career.

She never expected to run into Wen Yisheng while looking for a place to rent.

They hadn't been in touch for years. Not only had he become her landlord, but they were also going to live under the same roof.

Wen Yisheng was even colder than he had been at school, his tone distant and detached. "It's only temporary. I'll move out once the villa renovations are done."

Gu Ximu nodded. It wasn't as if there would be anything between them afterward. She never expected Wen Yisheng wouldn't want to move out.

When a younger schoolmate began pursuing Gu Ximu enthusiastically, Wen Yisheng put an arm around her shoulders the moment he opened the front door.

Before she could react, she heard the man's low voice by her ear.

Facing the younger man, he declared his claim: "Thanks for bringing my girlfriend home. I'll send you an invitation to the wedding next time."

After the younger man left, Wen Yisheng immediately shut the door.

Caught off guard, Gu Ximu was pressed against the wall. She tilted her head up slightly. "Who said I'm your girlfriend? Move out, now."

He braced one hand against the wall and lifted Gu Ximu's chin with the other. His deep eyes reflected her figure, and his voice was hoarse. "Didn't you say last night that you'd give me a chance?"

Gu Ximu thought that the days she and Wen Yisheng had spent at Fengcheng No. 1 High School years ago were just one ordinary memory in his long life.

One day, amid a violent storm, a dusty cardboard box tucked away in the attic corner and hidden from the world finally appeared before her, years later.

Inside were not only gifts, but also letters written in his own hand.

[She got hurt today. I wish I could have taken her place. She shouldn't have to suffer at all.]

[I can't choose my family background, but I will fight for the person I love, no matter what. I like her so much.]

[That winter night years ago made me fall for her before I knew it. Day after day, year after year, I gradually came to love her deeply.]
