A seductive little charmer with many faces × a seemingly devoted veteran player in love

Top-tier star supermodel × business magnate

Two former playboys (the woman) turn over a new leaf / happy ending / equally matched leads / high-level players in love facing an uphill battle / the male lead falls first, the female lead has no heart / relentless pursuit of his wife

At their first meeting, Feng Yue's slender waist and white dress easily captured all of Gu Rang's attention...

He forgot to light the cigarette between his fingers, and a hazy thought formed in his mind:

I want to teach her how to kiss...

After a brief separation, Feng Yue reunited with him and acted as if he weren't there, chatting and laughing with the person beside her.

Gu Rang's gaze darkened. He stood up and pulled her into a corner, bracing his arms on either side of Feng Yue's shoulders. He lowered his head slightly, the lights hazy, and asked one word at a time, "Don't you know me?"

Feng Yue raised the corner of her eyes and reached up to touch his thin lips. "I remember now."

"You're a pretty good kisser."

As time passed, Feng Yue became a thorn in his heart, one he couldn't pull out...

"I'm someone who's starved for love, so, Gu Rang, I can't promise you my complete loyalty."

[Important] Be sure to read the content warnings and reading guide:

1. Mature man and woman. Both leads are experienced in love, flirting and testing each other.

2. Neither lead is a virgin! Neither lead is a virgin! Neither lead is a virgin!

3. Both have played the field and turned over a new leaf.

4. The story is mostly from the female lead's perspective. The male lead has an ex-girlfriend he was with just for show, but after meeting the female lead, he only has eyes for her! The female lead has no heart at first, but comes around later!

5. Male-lead fans, proceed with caution! The female lead really has no heart! No heart! At first, she only uses the male lead! She may even go too far. Once she falls for him, there will be no other men. Before that, she's single, though she has ex-boyfriends and ambiguous relationships, but it's always one-on-one.

6. The male lead loves the female lead unconditionally! Unconditionally! Unconditionally! There will be no groveling arc for the male lead!

7. The male lead never changes. Every relationship is one-on-one, and the female lead never gets between other people. When she says she can't promise complete loyalty, she doesn't mean she'll date several people at once. This is explained in the story.

8. I feel this novel is pretty conventional. It has nothing else going on, just a straightforward love story.

Upcoming novel: Stealing a Kiss from the Moonlight

Cool male heartthrob × queen of sultry purity

Retired race car driver × pipa beauty

Gets together with her best friend's older brother after breaking up with her first love / scumbag gets his comeuppance / female lead is not a virgin, male lead is / happy ending / second male lead takes the lead / relentless pursuit of his wife

After her boyfriend of seven years cheated on her, Lu Wanyi decided to end things decisively.

Night fell. She sat alone in a bar, drinking her sorrows away. Half-drunk and not quite sober, she called her college best friend, Gu Zhiling, her voice slurred. "A Zhi, we broke up."

The familiar female voice never came. Lu Wanyi was barely conscious, and the person on the other end spoke with a chill in his voice, carrying an overwhelming air of pressure.

His heart ached, while a glimmer deep inside him struggled to shine. He spoke with restraint. "This is Gu Yan."

Gu Yan had secretly loved Lu Wanyi for five years, from the time she was passionately in love until the day they broke up.

Later, outside her home, Gu Yan held his coat in one hand, his dark eyes lowered. His figure blocked her way.

"You broke up, right?" Gu Yan asked, lightly resting his chin on his hand.

"So, do you want to give things a try with me?"

Excerpt:

One night, some time after his confession had been rejected, Gu Yan found a small white figure at the entrance to their residential compound.

Lu Wanyi was curled up beside a bush, clutching a gift someone had given him. The man's figure fell over her, shielding her from the late-autumn chill. He heard her timid voice: "Brother Yan..."

"Could you not accept her things?"

At her words, Gu Yan took off his black windbreaker and draped it over her head. It was heavy.

He patiently crouched down to meet her eyes. His cool voice sounded beside her ear. "Lu Wanyi, think it through..."

"As your big brother, I can't meddle in things like this."

Upcoming novel: Her Love Is Seven-Tenths

Devoted fire captain × cool radio reporter

Her first love returns after she breaks up with her boyfriend / the female lead has a first love, and the male lead is his substitute / both are virgins / happy ending

After Xu Yi rejected her marriage proposal for the third time, she finally asked to break up.

They had been in love for four years, but it all ended miserably. Xie Yining calmly packed her things and stood by the entryway, her expression peaceful. She said earnestly, "Let me look at you one more time."

All these years, she had always acted as if she loved him deeply.

Then one time, a hotel in the city caught fire. Xu Yi led the rescue team, and at the scene he encountered Xie Yining, who had come to report on it. Ash from the rubble stained her white dress. The woman he remembered as gentle and composed broke down in tears for the first time.

The man standing across from Xie Yining looked seven-tenths like him. Xu Yi heard her voice turn hoarse as she choked back sobs. "You're finally back."

Xu Yi had always been unruly and proud in everyone's eyes. No matter what, he would never accept being someone else's shadow.

Yet after their breakup, drunk out of his mind, he went up to Xie Yining and asked helplessly, "Yining, have I still not managed to replace him?"
